One of the most complicated geopolitical areas to lucidly explain are events in the Middle East. Many pundits try to do so using think tank briefings from the comfort of their own country. Veteran war correspondent and political analyst, Elijah J. Magnier, has been on the ground in the region for nearly four decades. Host, Ross Ashcroft, met up with Magnier to get some independent insight into what the the latest American bombing campaign means for the wider region. - Broadcast 12 July 2021 - 7 key points 1. Two recent attacks by the US military that targeted Iraqi security forces violated the country's sovereignty. The attacks which destroyed buildings and Iraqi army positions killing four members of the security forces, undermines the assurances made by the Americans that they will not maintain or engage their combat forces in the country. 2. The aim of the American's is to transform Iraq into a battlefield to sort out their problem with Iran and have targeted operational and weapons storage facilities in Syria and Iraq with this in mind. According to one report, the attacks killed one child and wounded at least three other people. 3. The US assassinations of Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi commander, Abu Mahi al-Muhandis, in January 2020 culminated in a point of no return for US-Iranian relations. As long as American forces remain in Iraq and Syria where they have no accountability for any of their occupations, atrocities and thefts of natural resources, their bombing objective will send a message to Iran and the conflict in the Middle East will continue. 4. The aim of the US is to "turn Iran into a shark without teeth" by requesting that the country reconsider its missile programme and relationship with its allies as a condition for Washington's return to the nuclear negotiating table. But Iran's leverage in terms of its nuclear project is such that it will not concede to these requests. 5. The US appears to have underestimated is the strength of Iran which has at its disposal advanced technological and nuclear research programmes and military capabilities as well as strong regional allies. Another element of strength is the extent to which Iran has been able to turn its back on former president, Donald Trump's lack of commitment to, and revocation of, the JCPOA nuclear deal. 6. It is not an emboldened Iran that represents an existential threat in the region but nuclear armed, US-ally, Israel which has waged wars against its neighbours ever since its foundation and ignored 187 UN resolutions in favour of Palestine. 7. US exceptionalism is exacerbating problems in the region and undermining interventionist efforts of independent players to help alleviate seemingly intractable issues and long-standing conflicts from a multipo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEGdX0_kxkQ

An experiment, which was only supposed to buy us some time, has become the norm - and has led to massive monetary debasement. Mark O’Byrne @MarkTOByrne explains how and why we got here.
