The TruthDebunking Mainstream LIES about CIA & MOSSAD-BACKED Iran Protests w/ Dr. Mohammad MarandiWhile the corporate media paints Iran as a rogue threat, the truth is far more inconvenient: Washington has spent decades sabotaging diplomacy, arming regional proxies, and manufacturing crises to justify its military footprint. In this MintCast episode, Mnar Adley sits down with Professor Mohammad Marandi to dismantle the myths fueling Trump's latest push to bomb Iran, from false claims about Iran’s nuclear program, unverified claims of mass killings, to the goals of Israel and Mossad's influence in the region.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.

Max BlumenthalDr. Mohammad Marandi: Why No Preemptive Strike?“The Iranians are not going to wait until the bombs start exploding. As soon as they’re convinced that something is happening, then they’re going to go all-out.”Professor Mohammad Marandi tells Max Blumenthal that Tehran won’t strike first, citing Iranians’ widely-shared religious beliefs prohibiting unprovoked aggression. But he warns that if they’re attacked, Iranian retaliation will be immediate — and worse than “Vietnam, Iraq, and all the other US wars together.” This is a public episode.

Meanwhile, the IAEA says the IDF is exaggerating the damage it has done to Iran’s nuclear facilities.Most of the allies who are furious with Israel’s increasingly brutal war in Gaza are in lock step with Netanyahu on Iran.

Israel’s pager attack took everyone by surprise, and over the last 48 hours, almost the entire command structure of Hezbollah have been killed; including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Now, Israel is apparently planning a ‘limited incursion’ into southern Lebanon, and the collateral suffering of the civilian population doesn’t seem likely to dissuade them.To analyse this expanding conflict, Piers Morgan talks to the ex–Palestinian militant who defected...
