This Ceasefire Is A Pretext For A U.S. Invasion Of Iran! – Prof. Jiang

from The Jimmy Dore Show

Jimmy speaks with Professor Xueqin Jiang about the recent US seizure of an Iranian cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Scott Ritter labeled an "act of piracy" and a violation of the ceasefire. Jiang argues the ceasefire is pure theater, allowing the US to build up 60,000 troops for a three-pronged attack involving a naval blockade, arming ethnic insurgents, and bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure like power and water plants to force surrender.  Jiang also warns that if the US resumes the war, Iran will strike Gulf Arab states and Israel hard, potentially knocking out desalination plants and one-third of the world's energy supply, rendering Gulf cities uninhabitable. Jiang concludes that the US National Security Strategy aims to create a "Fortress America" technate that makes the world dependent on American energy, but this will fail due to corruption, polarization, and a Russian-Chinese-Iranian continental trade bloc. Plus segments on the IDF soldier who smashed a Jesus statue in southern Lebanon, reports that Trump tried to nuke Iran over the weekend and just why that would be such a terrible idea. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeffrey Toobin!
