Not-So-Little Fires Everywhere in Iran
from The Elucidators: Decoding Global News · host Steve Palley, Pete Newsom
Iran's not in great shape. A deeply unpopular government run by aging Islamic theocrats... a bad economy crippled by American sanctions... and a runaway COVID-19 pandemic have already combined to push this big, important Middle Eastern power towards the edge. And now, on top of everything else, some of Iran's most sensitive military sites -- including the research center where the regime builds advanced centrifuges for potential use in a nuclear weapons program -- are blowing up and burning down.Some of these incidents probably aren't accidents. Who's behind them (cough cough ISRAEL cough), and what does it mean? Steve and Pete investigate and elucidate!Further Reading:Israel, U.S developing shared strategy to harm Iran’s nuclear facilities, officials tell NYTLong-Planned and Bigger Than Thought: Strike on Iran’s Nuclear ProgramIran Admits Serious Damage to Natanz Nuclear Site, Setting Back ProgramIran’s Nuclear ProgramAlso, follow and like us on the social medias, or drop us a question via [email protected]://www.facebook.com/theelucidators/https://twitter.com/The_Elucidatorshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwm7lk1nGQGBsIjjpVMeIA
