How Do I Deceive Thee? Let Me Count The Ways (S01E148)

For months the US claimed that its war against Iran was a success because it had “degraded” Iran’s military and nuclear program

But recent recent military exchanges and news reports have revealed the reality of Iran’s missile capabilities and its nuclear program has emerged, showing the lies and contradictions driving US policy.

In the latest episode, I delve into Iran’s strategic calculations and potential future actions in response to US sanctions and military pressure.

Plus in an interview with Pakistan’s Asia One, I discuss escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with a focus on recent military actions and the latest demands by Iran.
