Trita Parsi | Why Israel is Pushing for a World War
Summary
Clint Russell interviews Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, to analyze the disastrous U.S. war against Iran. They discuss how Israeli lobbying and the Abraham Accords destabilized the region, leading to a quagmire where Iran successfully targeted U.S. bases. The conversation critiques Trump’s decision-making, the conflation of Israel criticism with antisemitism, and the lack of clear American strategic interests in the conflict.
