Exploring U.S. Military Options Against Iran's Nuclear Threat

Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi joins PTO to talk about his recent article in the New Left Review on Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran. Eskandar explained why he sees Israel's goals as not being confined to destroying Iran's nuclear programme, but also - and more importantly - the de-development of Iranian society and the balkanisation of the country. We also talked about how Iran is weathering Israel's assault and the degree to which there is any support for Israeli objectives in Iran and within the Iranian diaspora. Finally, we talked about whether the United States will intervene more directly on Israel's side.
