## Resource

This interview examines shifting US foreign policy in the Middle East and the growing divergence between American and Israeli interests. It critiques the US President's erratic, ego-driven decision-making and inability to honor diplomatic deals. A major focus is the severe miscalculation regarding Iran; aggressive actions and the assassination of its Supreme Leader have only unified the Iranian public, shattering Western illusions. The discussion also explores Israel's push to deeply integrate its military and intelligence with the US, alongside the complex geopolitics involving Turkey and Syria. Ultimately, it argues that to mitigate global blowback, the US must reduce its Middle Eastern footprint and avoid direct kinetic conflicts with Iran. Hosted on Acast.
