Description

Alastair Crooke discusses how the Iran war has become a war of all-or-nothing: Iran is not going back to crippling sanctions and endless military threats, and it needs to break up the US-led international economic architecture. Time is on the side of Iran, and the US is becoming desperate. Crooke is a former British diplomat and the Founder of Conflicts Forum based in Beirut. He was formerly an advisor on Middle East issues to Javier Solana, the EU Foreign Policy Chief.

Glenn’s long-form interviews really pay dividends and there’s no one better to hear at length than Alastair Crooke. The inability of the mainstream to offer informed analysis on anything has brought about this ecosystem of daily geopolitical masterclasses. There is no doubt that the people of the world beyond subject matter specialists can—perhaps for the first time in history—understand what’s really going on and why. There is now no excuse for imbibing the sound bite disinformation peddled by the BBC/ABC/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/FOX/ETC toxic information complex. We are better served than ever before by the honesty and boldness of true experts like Alastair and Glenn

This is not Iran war. It is the U.S. and Israel war on behalf of the world's Zionism to prevent the power shift from West to East. Attack on Iran was intended to be a warm up for the the attack on China and Russia but the expected warm up has burnt both the U.S. and Israel. Now Zionists have to come up with a different strategy.
