On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the former Middle East Advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief Alastair Crooke. He discusses Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel and Iran’s restraint in trying to avoid a regional war after many Israeli escalatory actions as the BRICS Summit in Kazan approaches, the removal of all Middle East experts from the State Department and Amos Hochstein’s operation as a ‘one-man band’, Iranian President Pezeshkian’s embarrassing belief that Iranian restraint would be rewarded with sanctions relief and a Gaza ceasefire, the reformist camp’s restraint contributing to Israel’s escalations such as assassinating Hassan Nasrallah and bombing Lebanon, Israel’s propaganda that Lebanese homes are housing Hezbollah rockets and weapons used to justify Israeli mass bombing of Lebanese villages, how Israel has seen Iran’s self-restraint as weakness and an opportunity to continue escalating, the US allowing itself to be potentially dragged into a regional war with Iran at the invitation of Israel, the Pentagon’s fear that the US is overextended as tension with Russia and China continues to rise, Netanyahu’s plan to expel all Palestinians from the West Bank & Gaza, and much more.
