The MERIP Podcast Episode 18: The MERIP Roundtable, On The Iran War Part I

On the social impact and regional politics of the US-Israeli war on Iran

Middle East Research and Information Project

"A striking datum of this war is how few attempts have been made at selling it, rhetorically dignifying it, morally arming it or situating it in some context of shared Western interests. [...] The right no longer caters to, nor needs, its liberal outriders. They hang on out of habit."

Richard Seymour, Cognitive Dissonance — Sidecar

On the Iran war.

"What is at stake in this confrontation is the future of the entire region [...] Arab political elites have been so thoroughly subordinated that they stood idly by, or even aided and abetted, as #Israel slaughtered Palestinians by the tens of thousands, which gives some sense of what they hope to accomplish in #Iran."

Podcast: Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, Robert Malley and Adam Shatz · What next in Iran?

London Review of Books

'I see some Iranians in the diaspora doing the “Y.M.C.A.” Trump dance while their country burns. I dread opening X or any social media, which I do every morning anyway, just to see fellow Iranians applaud Donald Trump’s war on their country, deny atrocities, or even blame the regime for the missiles landing on their compatriots’ heads. Yes, I, too, am a self-hating Persian in those moments.'

"On February 28, the US and #Israel launched unprovoked attacks against the Islamic Republic of #Iran, unleashing a war that has rapidly escalated across the region. While #Trump and #Netanyahu want regime change, the Iranian regime has shown that it will not go down easily. In the face of US #imperialAggression, what is the future for Iran?"

Can Iran Survive? An urgent discussion on the US-Israel War

YouTube

"#Iran is currently in the crosshairs, but the message is directed at all Middle Eastern states: do not dare challenge #Israel’s bid for regional hegemony or ethnic cleansing of #Palestine. Achieving the first would give Israel the immunity it needs for the second: rectifying the mistake the historian Benny Morris lamented when he criticized Ben Gurion for not expelling all the #Palestinians in 1948." - #IlanPappé

'While #Israel does not desire to depopulate and settle Iranian territory in the way that it does Palestinian or Lebanese land, the policy of collective punishment of the entire population has been much the same, both now and during the so-called “Twelve-Day War” in June of last year.'
