The Iran Crisis #8: Thoughts from Helena Cobban on Day 21 of the War

In this March 20 talk, Just World Ed president Helena Cobban assessed the current state of the Israeli-US War on Iran at  Day 21, and lessons that antiwar activists-- particularly those in the United States-- should take from what has happened until now. She focused on: the depravity of the rampages Israel has been committing in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon in addition, to those in Iranthe intense degree to which the U.S. military and government are actively complicit in all of Israel's rampages, including those regarding which Pres. Trump has expressed some mild (or even joking) reservationsthe impotence of the United Nations regarding Palestine, Lebanon, and the globe-wide economic crisis sparked by the warthe responsibility of U.S. citizens to take concrete actions to end the war and to build a sustainable peace-- including by pulling all U.S. military bases out of the Gulf.This conversation is the eighth in JWE's ongoing "Iran Crisis" series, which is a follow-on to the "Gaza, and the World" project that we launched in Fall 2025.
