After his resignation, Donald Trump’s former director of counterterrorism, Joe Kent, published an open letter accusing Israel of deceiving the Trump administration into the war against Iran. The high-profile official argued that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States.Was it Israel that pushed the U.S. into attacking Iran? What is Israel's real motive behind the war? What are Israel’s objetives and perspectives? How do the Gulf states view the situation? Why is the EU so silent? And did the White House underestimate Tehran?Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a geopolitical analyst and former Israeli diplomat, joins me from Los Angeles to discuss all of this and more.Kontakta Taimaz för förfrågningar om föreläsning om USA, events, modereringsuppdrag, livepodd, gästförslag eller lyssnarfrågor: https://www.loungepodden.se/ eller [email protected] du få tillgång till hela avsnittet, före alla andra och helt reklamfritt, behöver du bli betalande prenumerant på Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/taimaz❤️ Tack för ditt stöd! ❤️Kontakt: https://www.loungepodden.seFölj TaimazInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/taimazghaffari/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TaimazGhaffariLinkedin: https://se.linkedin.com/in/taimaz-ghaffari-22789b21Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLKiCeQSPOfRmhXA_1m9M2A Hosted on Acast.
