JD Vance To Rogan: "The Iran War Is Going Just Great!" w/ Prof. Marandi
Speaking with guest host Russell Dobular of the Due Dissidence show, Professor Seyed Muhammad Mirandi critiques JD Vance's explanation of the US-Iran conflict, arguing that Vance's "pragmatists vs. hardliners" framing is a fiction used to justify ongoing US violations of the memorandum of understanding. Mirandi contends that Iran never believed the US would fully implement the deal, as Trump only wanted to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports while refusing to lift sanctions, return Iranian assets, or restrain Israel.
Iran retaliated against US attempts to establish a separate shipping corridor—a clear violation of the agreement—leading to renewed skirmishes, but Tehran prepared by exporting massive oil reserves during the brief ceasefire. Mirandi concludes that the US is now in a worse strategic position because Iran stockpiled essential goods and remains militarily ready for a prolonged conflict.
Plus segments on Ro Khanna's contentious interview with journalist Jeremy Scahill over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Flock CEO calling privacy advocates "terrorists," and the increasing demands for hard evidence that Mitch McConnell is still alive.
Also featuring Keaton Weiss, Misty Winston and Kurt Metzger!
