Negar Mortazavi, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy and host of the Iran Podcast, joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to discuss how, despite all the triumphalist rhetoric coming out of Washington and Tel Aviv, the Iran war has not gone the way the U.S. and Israel expected. Iran hasn’t collapsed, negotiations appear completely stalled, oil prices are climbing, and the risk of a wider regional and even global economic crisis is growing by the day. Meanwhile, Trump says he wants a deal while simultaneously threatening annihilation, and Netanyahu appears determined to keep the war going indefinitely. Mortazavi argues that “Netanyahu wants to fight Iran to the last American soldier,” warning that Israel’s drive for “absolute dominance” in the region comes at the cost of instability and insecurity for everyone else. #breakthroughnews
