Conflicts of Interest #160: White House Slams the Door on Diplomacy with Iran
On COI #160, Kyle Anzalone discusses deteriorating US ties with Iran. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned the window for negotiations with Tehran would soon close, not long after the US announced a new round of sanctions. Israeli officials, meanwhile, have vowed to step up efforts to confront the Islamic Republic. Together, the aggressive US and Israeli policies are likely to kill talks to revive the Iran nuclear deal.
Kyle updates the August 29th US drone strike that killed seven children in Kabul. The Pentagon released details of the strike, revealing the military was unsure of who was driving the car hit in the strike, as well as what home it was bombing. The corporate press, however, has already lost interest in the story, all but ensuring families of the slaughtered Afghan children will never see justice.
Kyle breaks down recent news from Ethiopia. Several massacres have been reported by various local groups as fighting rages on between the government and rebel forces in Tigray. The US has sanctioned an Eritrean official for alleged war crimes in Tigray, and there are reports out of neighboring Sudan that dead bodies are washing up on its shores – casualties of the Tigray war. Tensions between Ethiopia and Sudan are also on the rise after the Sudanese government reported a shipment of guns that arrived from Ethiopia.
On COI #66, Keith Knight, host of Don't Tread on Anyone, returns to the show to breakdown several key lies and myths about Covid. Keith and Kyle discuss how Dr. Fauci admitted to lying to the American public about masks and herd immunity. Keith also tackles Gov. Cuomo's response to Covid and the claims millions of Americans would die.
Keith and Kyle talk about Obama's war legacy. In three conflicts, Obama, at least de facto, took the side of the Sunni extremists. In his recent auto-biography, Obama hardly mentions the wars he started in Syria, Yemen, and Libya. His discussion focus only on the problems in the countries before he started the wars. He ignores all the chaos that came from his wars.

On Conflicts of Interest #42, Kyle explains how Trump's Iran policy will position Biden to start a war with Iran. The Daily Beast reports Trump has delegated increasing tensions with Iran to Secretary of State Pompeo. Pompeo hates Iran and wants nothing more than to see American bombs killing Iranians. Biden, of course, will have to option to de-escalate once he takes office. However, the president-elect has assembled a cabinet of war hawks.
The latest escalation is the assassination of an Iranian scientist. Gareth Porter explains in a recent article that the information that claimed the scientist was working a clandestine nuclear weapons program is false. In fact, the "evidence" is from a debunked cache of documents that Israel has used to fear-monger against Iran in the past.
Kyle discusses how the government screwed the immigrant woman who gave Bob Kraft a happy ending. The woman will be forced to pay a $31,000 fine and her business has been destroyed. The claims that she was involved in sex trafficking turn out to be another government lie.
Kyle talks about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. With at least 235,000 dead Yemenis in the five-year war, Trump is now threatening to label the government of northern Yemen, the Houthi, as a terrorist group. The label comes with sanctions that make it nearly impossible for groups to deliver aid. With 100,000s of children on the brink of starvation, aid is crucial to their survival. The UN warns the crisis will get worse if the US adds the sanctions.

In this clip from COI #153, Kyle Anzalone updates events in Afghanistan. The Pentagon and State Department are working to remove some privileged Afghans and Americans from Afghanistan. The US claims it has evacuated tens of thousands so far, but it is still unclear how many will be left behind. Despite the speed with which the Afghan government collapsed and ongoing chaos at the airport, the American people have been unpersuaded by a relentless effort by war hawks in the corporate press to turn the public against the withdrawal. New polls show almost two-thirds of Americans support ending the occupation.

On COI #145 Connor Freeman, writer at The Libertarian Institute, returns to the show to discuss recent attacks on ships near the Persian Gulf. The first attack saw two drones hit a cargo ship, killing two. The US, UK, and Israel have pointed the finger at Iran, claiming to have evidence. However, the governments have yet to present any, and Iran is denying the charges.
The second attack was alleged to be an attempted hijacking. Again, Iran was blamed with no evidence yet presented. The attack was thwarted after the crew disabled the ship. The timing of the incident raises suspicions of a possible false flag to fuel tensions between Washington and Tehran. Kyle and Connor break down the motives of the possible actors, including Israel and Iran.
Connor explains how the slow American policy shift in favor of Taiwanese independence has put the US on a collision course with China. Along with increased diplomatic ties with the island, the US has ramped up military support. This week, Biden announced his first weapons sale to Taiwan – $750 million in Howitzers and guided-munitions kits. Under Biden, the US has sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait seven times, moves repeatedly condemned by Beijing.
As the US steps up support for Taiwan in the East China Sea, the Pentagon is carrying out massive war games with several allied countries in the region, including its largest amphibious military drills in 40 years. US allies India, Germany, the UK, France and Japan have also deployed military ships to the South China Sea.
Connor breaks down how the US continues to destroy its relationship with Russia. War games in the Black Sea paired with this week’s removal of 24 Russian diplomats surely undermines any good will produced from recent arms control talks. Some American hawks are noticing that Russia and China have adopted closer ties in recent years. Connor argues this is unlikely to change without a less aggressive American foreign policy.
