In this live Zeteo town hall, Prem sits down with foreign policy expert Matt Duss to discuss Iran's attacks on a US base in Qatar and what it means for the broader Israel-Iran conflict.
Let’s not get distracted by the USA’s & Israel’s Noise - about Nuclear Weapons, uranium…. Who started what bombing….And Regime change in Iran!!
The children in Gaza and the Gaza hospital services are far more important right now, than deciding who has what bombs…. And who has how much enriched Uranium.
STOP THE GENOCIDE FIRST & FEED THE PEOPLE OF GAZA!!
This will appear to be a very silly ask but nevertheless I would like some insight related to public opinion with both Palestine and Iran. There seems to be very little support from Americans from both parties. Could it be only AIPAC purchased politicians, neocons and bigots as those in favor of both ethnic cleansing and illegal attacks on a sovereign nation?
Republican legislators from both House and Senate have leaders who control what Bills come to the legislative floor for discussion and vote. Attempts to have the War Powers Resolution specific to Iran, discussed and voted on have been blocked by Republican leaders. The Resolution cannot be discussed or passed without breaking this block. Note a similar past resolution was made law years ago barring a President from initating a war against any nation. This war was was a violation of that War powers Act, done illegally a few days ago by our Resident Select.
The Orange Cheeto with his Nazi sycophants in the cabinet used the pretense that the Iranians had enough enriched uranium to make a bomb negating his own national intelligence that it was not the case Cheeto has claimed that this was the “final blow” to such a program but one Iranian observer has said that this will only deter Iranians for a year until the program will be back up and running
Now the international geiger counters used by agencies to detect any emitted radiation that would be released from the bombing of the radioactive sites have detected nothing So it appears that the ruse that Cheeto made that the bombing strike would take out enriched uranium suggesting that it was a Bush “weapons of mass destruction” fantasy satisfied no one but Netanyahu who has been saying for decades that an “Iranian nuclear bomb” was just around the corner Perhaps the enriched uranium had already been moved but we will never know
So Cheeto was stupid enough to buy what Netanyahu was selling…prior presidents have been dismissive but Cheeto was dumb enough to take the bait And now Iranian sleeper cells within the US could be activated as Iran measures its next move
With this news of a ceasefire, this will mean that EVERYTHING Trump does to destroy us domestically will be fast-tracked because he made this decision to bomb Iran.
I’m glad that Prem Thakker brought up the choices, or lack thereof, of U.S. voters on these issues in the 2024 election. Matt Duss impressed me, but I think he gave Kamala Harris a little too much credit in his assessment of whether she would have taken a different approach than Biden with respect to Palestine. I think we all remember her suggesting to pro-Palestinian protesters at one of her speeches that their protests indicated they would or could vote for Trump and her rebuke that she was “talking now.” She should have done less talking and more listening. Pro-Palestinian Democrats were not allowed to address the Democratic Convention. As the nominee, she could have made certain they were heard. She didn’t. She also criticized protesters at D.C.’s Union Station following Netanyahu’s address to Congress for which he received a standing ovation. She decried the burning of the U.S. flag, but said not a word about children being burned alive in Gaza. Nor did she take the opportunity to criticize Netanyahu— only the protesters. I heard her criticisms the day after hearing a U.S. physician who had just returned from Gaza talk in a shaking voice about “incinerated” children in Gaza. His word, not mine. Yet Harris’ concern is about the burning of the U.S. flag, long recognized by the S. Ct. as protected speech. She wouldn’t have been any different. I hope we all let both parties know that we won’t vote for genocide — that we will not sacrifice the Palestinian population in exchange for getting Trump out of office and for perhaps gaining or sustaining more comfortable lives for ourselves. We have seen Democrats as well as Republicans suppress speech over this issue, most embracing a definition of antisemitism that includes any criticism of Israel. Thus, it is not only our foreign policy and the lives of Palestinians that are at stake. It’s our collective conscience. No more votes for Democrats who support genocide. Let our reps know.
From spokes persons who have long studied and have been directly involved with Iran's politics, culture and society and served as Irianian government negotiatiators or US envoys for many years, most victums of bombing are women and children, as in any war. Civilian areas are bombed along side some military targets. People of Iran are united against this illegal war and further threats. The people remain steadfast against foreign aggression, whether or not they support the current government. Most people are in support of destruction of USA Military Bases and US ships used in assisting Israel, in this region. They realize the destruction of Gaza is supported by many, nearby USA military bases and 40,000 US troops. Do NOT expect those billions of US dollars and 10s of thousands of US lives there to remain unharmed or to be able to take control in this region. Few, if any, will remain after this war. Even our "friends" like Turkey, understand these bases are eventual disaster, for them as well and to allow these bases to remain, anywhere in this neighborhood is a mistake. The USA may have started this but it will finish US and perhaps Israel, in this area. Time for regeime change? MUGA!
Keep your eyes on the genocide. Is it possible that the ones who survived one, had children now inact one against Gaza? And the American people see those images!!
We all decided to let this happen. Evil toghter with ego? A genocide?
Why is always that Iran has been an international law but Israel is not although Israel has nuclear weapons whether they admit it or not but no one want to ask the same question from Israel. Isn’t it a case of two different standards
In my opinion Iran should concentrate on Israel rather than American assets because Iran then can claim that American attack was illegal by world standards please comment
China proved to be a salesperson and not a military superpower. They could have issued a warning to the Israelis to stop attacking Iran but they didn't. In the 50s the Soviet Union issued such a warning to protect Egypt
MIGA is the Resident Select's fav slogan of the day ( eazy to remember sounds good but means nothing) to whitewash the illegal War Crimes committed by US forces againsst Iran. "Make Iran Great Again" is his shield, as we share bombing raids with Israel. Calling for a regime change may not be your best move here, Don. The American people can begin the chant M.U.G.A. Make US Great Again , with our own Regime Change here. There has never been a more opportune moment to Impeach Trump for violation of the current, existing law, the War Powers Act (passed in prior Congress session making this USA law) and to replace both President and VP as well as the current Speaker of the House (for refusing to let the current War Powers Act go to the floor of the House and Senate for a vote). The legislation proposes a specific stop to War against Iran.
Regimes can be changed in many ways. Impeachment of the President, VP and Speaker of the House would clear the option for new elections to redress serious mistakes made in Nov '24.

There is only one political party in the USA, the AIPAC party.
I support Palestine & Iran! I do not support our president or netanyahu!
Please know that most American do Not support genocide of regime change. Our "leader" is an asshole!

Cheeto’s “Weapons of Mass Distraction”
The Orange Cheeto with his Nazi sycophants in the cabinet used the pretense that the Iranians had enough enriched uranium to make a bomb negating his own national intelligence that it was not the case Cheeto has claimed that this was the “final blow” to such a program but one Iranian observer has said that this will only deter Iranians for a year until the program will be back up and running

In violation of international law
Been waiting for this. Thank you

Thank you for this interview- much more informative and insightful than mainstream news.
Does anyone know what is happening to the population in Iran?

It seems it was a very limited strike, more of a message rather than a retaliation much like how they did it when tRUMP assassinated Suleimani.
