The REAL REASON Trump Called Off Iran Bombing Explained By Steve Bannon! w/ Max Blumenthal

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government.  Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's sadness over the lack of bombing of Iran, Trump critic Scott Ritter being debanked and an unhinged BBC talking head's theory about Iran controlling Trump. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!
