Mission Impossible

Trump’s Hormuz blockade is live. Oil is at $102. China’s Defence Minister says the strait is open for Chinese ships and dares the US to stop them. A forty-nation coalition is forming against the blockade. And one of the last two tankers carrying pre-war oil on earth is heading to Australia. Urban Wronski on the war Trump cannot win.

Our guest this week is #TritaParsi, executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the author of 3 remarkable books on the relationship between the #US, #Israel and #Iran. For as long as I’ve followed Trita’s work, he’s been warning that if hawks in DC got their way, we would end up with the kind of catastrophe we’re witnessing in the #MiddleEast. I invited him to give us a sense of what the Middle East and the world will look like going forward.

Topics include:

the likelihood of peace talks failing
the importance of #Lebanon
how this war has affected Iran’s internal trajectory
Iran’s nuclear capabilities
the war’s effect on the US and Israeli militaries
how #Trump came to the decision to fight this war
facing charges of self-hatred from the diaspora

Parsi discusses the increasing “desperation” of U.S. strategy, Iran’s long-term economic control over the Strait of Hormuz and growing “hawkishness,” and the dangerous possibility of nuclear warfare.

> Trump thinks he can turn the tables on Iran with his Kurdish plan, and Tehran believes a land invasion will help unify the population against invaders and separatists. Both believe they can absorb and sustain the casualties, which likely will be massive. Yet, not a single death in this unnecessary war can be justified. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dn8ynuRyu/
