Paul Craig Roberts Warns: Iran’s Existential War: They Can’t Afford to Lose

This interview analyzes escalating US-Israel-Iran tensions, framing the conflict as an existential threat to Iran. Discussion questions whether diplomacy can succeed if underlying objectives involve regime change rather than negotiated settlement. The conversation examines geopolitical agendas shaping Middle East policy, Iran's military capabilities, and the impracticality of ground invasion given Iran's size and terrain. Concerns are raised about potential nuclear escalation if conventional strategies stall. Major powers like Russia and China are critiqued for not intervening to de-escalate. Historical context references conflicts in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere since 2001 as part of a broader regional transformation. The interview warns that miscalculation or refusal to acknowledge core strategic realities could trigger wider regional or global conflict, urging urgent international diplomatic engagement. Viewers are encouraged to critically assess mainstream narratives and consider the long-term consequences of current policy trajectories for global stability. Hosted on Acast.
