Attacks in Lebanon & Iran: Netanyahu Wants to Drag U.S. Into Wider War w/ Mohammad Marandi

Attacks in Lebanon & Iran: Netanyahu Wants to Drag U.S. Into Wider War w/ Mohammad Marandi

Prof. Marandi of the University of Tehran says Israel can’t win a wider war against Lebanon and Iran. But these countries will have to respond to the recent terror attacks—and Israel’s war against Palestine may expand into a regional conflict nonetheless. Israel bombed Lebanon, assassinating senior Hamas political leader Saleh al-Arouri, followed by a series of explosions at the memorial service for Iranian General Qaseem Solemani, which killed over 100 people. Will the war widen? Will the U.S. ever pull back from its support for the genocidal Israeli regime?

Brian Becker is joined by Prof. Mohammad Marandi. He is an expert on American studies and postcolonial literature who teaches at the University of Tehran.
