Sina Rahmani, host of East Is a Podcast, joins the show as the threat of a U.S. attack on Iran looms. Rahmani breaks down Washington’s long campaign of aggression against Iran— from crippling sanctions to covert and overt attacks— and explains how years of economic siege have fueled hardship and unrest. He argues that Iran is being targeted not for “human rights,” but for supporting Palestine, defending its sovereignty, and challenging U.S. dominance in a shifting multipolar world. Jamal Abdi, President of the National Iranian American Council, joins the show to discuss how Washington is weaponizing protests inside Iran to justify war. Abdi will explain how genuine economic grievances— worsened by U.S. sanctions— are being cynically manipulated by U.S. and Israeli officials to sell bombing and regime change to the public. He warns that the last thing Iranians need is foreign military strikes and that any U.S. assault on Iran would be unauthorized and illegal under both U.S. and international law— risking a far wider regional war.
