LIVE | Iran's Deadly 'Fattah-1' Hypersonic Missiles Destroy Israeli Air Defence; Iron Dome Fails

At least one of 20 ballistic missiles Iran launched at Israel today contained a “cluster bomb warhead”, reports The Times of Israel, citing the Israeli military’s Home Front Command. As such warheads fall, they break apart and scatter a group of smaller munitions, said the report. One of the munitions from today’s attack struck a home in Azor, causing damage, it added. Thousands of people in Israel have become homeless as a result of Iran’s retaliatory missile attacks, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth is reporting.

[EU s15e25] The Crisis in the Middle East With Chris Hedges

On this week’s episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff has a one-on-one discussion with Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges, who draws on history, his years as a correspondent and NY Times Middle East Bureau Chief, and his current work on and in the Middle East. He explains why Israel attacked Iran and what the short and long-term prospects are for their war. He also devotes some of his analyses to examining Israel's genocidal policies toward Palestinians.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The Crisis in the Middle East, focusing on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and the ongoing situation in Gaza.

Key Points:

• Israel-Iran Conflict:
  • Israel's long-term goal, according to Hedges, has been to involve the US in a war with Iran.
  • Israel's objectives include degrading Iran's nuclear capabilities, regime change (considered unlikely), and diverting attention from the "genocide" in Gaza.
  • Iran's air force is considered weak, and it suffered losses in an initial strike.
  • The conflict risks escalating into a regional war, potentially shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The conflict could be interpreted as a war against Shiites, destabilizing the region.
  • Iran has alliances with Russia and China, raising concerns about their potential involvement.
• Gaza Situation:
  • The conflict with Iran will likely accelerate the "genocide" in Gaza.
  • Israel intends to maintain the blockade, causing starvation.
  • Israel is using food hubs to entice people to the south, potentially facilitating a mass displacement into the Sinai.
  • Israel seeks to empty Gaza and resettle it with Jewish colonists.
  • The West Bank is also facing increasing pressure, with land seizures and blockades.
• US Role and Influence:
  • The Israel lobby in the US is powerful and, along with neoconservatives, pushes for US involvement.
  • There's a risk that a Trump administration could be drawn into the conflict, especially if US installations are attacked.
  • The US has historically supported Israel, enabling its actions.
• Internal Israeli Dynamics:
  • While there's opposition to Netanyahu, there's broad support for the policies towards Palestinians.
  • Israeli Jews are indoctrinated with a demonization of Arabs and Palestinians.
  • Limited contact between Israelis and Palestinians exacerbates the situation.
• Historical Context:
  • The situation is framed as a settler-colonial project, similar to historical examples like the US treatment of Native Americans.
  • A key difference is that Palestinians haven't been "obliterated" like some indigenous populations in other colonial projects.

Highlights:

• Chris Hedges emphasizes the danger of Israel's actions and the potential for a catastrophic regional war.
• He accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and using the conflict with Iran to distract from it.
• He points to the influence of the Israel lobby and neoconservatives in pushing for US intervention.
• He draws parallels between the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and historical settler-colonial projects.
• Hedges expresses concern over the long-term consequences of Israel's policies, both for the region and for Israel itself.

Krystal and Saagar are joined by Scott Horton to debunk Israel and Trump's lies on Iranian nukes.

Scott Horton: https://scotthorton.org/

#news #politics #youtube

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: Debunking claims and lies made by Israel and the Trump administration regarding Iran's nuclear program and the recent US strikes.

Key Points:

• Iran's Uranium Enrichment: Scott Horton argues that Iran's uranium enrichment is primarily a bargaining chip to get sanctions lifted and rejoin the nuclear deal, not necessarily a direct path to building a nuclear weapon. He emphasizes that Iran has had the capability to enrich to higher levels for years but chose not to, using 60% enrichment as leverage.
• Misinformation and Fear-Mongering: Horton accuses the US and Israeli governments of using fear-mongering tactics by exaggerating the threat of Iran's nuclear program to justify military intervention and regime change. He points out that the media often relies on the public's ignorance of nuclear science to create unnecessary panic.
• The JCPOA (Iran Nuclear Deal): Horton defends the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) as a successful agreement that severely restricted Iran's nuclear program and allowed for extensive inspections. He argues that the deal made it virtually impossible for Iran to secretly develop a nuclear weapon.
• Intelligence Assessments: The discussion highlights conflicting intelligence assessments regarding Iran's intentions to build a nuclear weapon. Despite claims from some officials, senior US intelligence officials have stated that there has been no change in Iran's decision-making on whether to build a nuclear bomb.
• Regime Change as the Real Goal: The speakers suggest that the US's true objective is regime change in Iran, with the nuclear issue serving as a pretext. They criticize Trump for openly admitting that regime change is a possibility.
• The Logic of Nuclear Deterrence: It's argued that the current situation, where Israel and the US can attack Iran with impunity, makes nuclear deterrence a logical choice for Iran.

Highlights:

• Scott Horton's detailed explanation of uranium enrichment levels and their implications.
• The debunking of the claim that Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon based on US intelligence assessments.
• The criticism of Marco Rubio's statements as propaganda and misinformation.
• The argument that the US is already engaged in a regime change war with Iran.
• The discussion of how the framing of questions in polls can manipulate public opinion on Iran.

[SPECIAL] Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is the US Subordinated to Israel?

Iran Retaliates - Lobs Missiles at US Airbase in Middle East

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video discusses the relationship between the United States and Israel, arguing that the US is often subordinate to Israel's demands, particularly regarding foreign policy in the Middle East.

Key Points:

• US Subordination to Israel: Sachs argues that the US, under President Trump, acted against its own interests by bombing Iran's uranium enrichment program at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu.
• Netanyahu's Influence: Sachs claims Netanyahu and the Israeli lobby exert significant control over US foreign policy, the White House, Congress, the CIA, and security agencies.
• Iran's Nuclear Program: Sachs reiterates the intelligence community's assessment that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons, despite Trump's contrary claims, which Sachs attributes to Netanyahu's influence.
• US as a "Rogue State": Sachs argues that the US increasingly acts as a rogue state by disregarding international law, UN resolutions, and global consensus, often siding with Israel against the rest of the world. He cites the US's low alignment with the UN charter and its withdrawal from international agreements as evidence.
• Consequences of US Foreign Policy: Sachs warns that the US's actions, driven by Israeli interests, are bringing the world closer to nuclear war, the only existential threat to the US.
• Historical Context: Sachs references a memo describing a plan to take out seven countries in 5 years starting with Iraq, and how Netanyahu has dragged the US into these conflicts.

Highlights:

• Sachs's assertion that the US president's main job is to "keep the foot on the brake" regarding war, and that Trump removed it at Netanyahu's urging.
• The claim that the US is the least aligned country with the UN charter, with Israel close behind.
• Sachs's description of the US as a "rogue state" due to its disregard for international law and its alignment with Israel's policies.
• The warning that the US is recklessly pushing the world closer to nuclear war.
• The discussion of the "Clean Break" document and its influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East.

About Tucker Carlson Network

We’re building an alternative to legacy media

What is TCN?

Tucker Carlson Network is the new streaming platform that is home to exclusive all-new content from Tucker Carlson. We will regularly be releasing new video content that tells the stories that matter and helps you make sense of the world around you. Why We Founded TCN

News coverage in the West has become a tool of repression and control. Reporters no longer reveal essential information to the public; they work to hide it. Journalists act as censors on behalf of entrenched power. They have contempt for the public. They hate the truth.

Democracy can’t function in a society like this. Voters can’t know what they’re voting for. People do understand they’re being manipulated, and they resent it. The population becomes angry and paranoid. Things fall apart.

There’s only one solution to a propaganda spiral like the one we’re living through, and it’s telling the truth about the things that matter — clearly and without fear. That’s our job. We plan to do it every day, no matter what.

We are the sworn enemies of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. We believe the corporate media is broken beyond repair, and the only way forward is to build something better.^[[1] https://tuckercarlson.com/about]

Generated Summary:

Main Topic:

The video analyzes Joe Rogan's political shift from supporting Bernie Sanders to endorsing Donald Trump, and what this shift signifies for American politics.

Key Points:

• Rogan's Background: The video highlights Rogan's unconventional rise in media, making him a cultural touchstone but also a polarizing figure due to his willingness to platform diverse and sometimes fringe viewpoints.
• Initial Support for Sanders: In 2016 and 2020, Rogan was drawn to Bernie Sanders' anti-establishment message and policies aimed at the working class.
• Democratic Party's Reaction: The Democratic establishment, threatened by Sanders' popularity, attacked him and his supporters, including Rogan, branding them as sexist, racist, and misogynistic.
• COVID-19 and Media Criticism: The COVID-19 pandemic and the response to it, particularly Rogan's questioning of mainstream narratives and treatments like Ivermectin, further alienated him from the Democratic party and mainstream media.
• Move to Texas and Shifting Network: Rogan moved to Texas and his network of guests shifted, including figures like Elon Musk, whose own political transformation influenced Rogan's viewpoints.
• Democratic Party's Shift: The Democratic party's focus on coastal elite politics, social causes, and identity politics alienated working-class Americans, including Rogan and his audience.
• Trump's Outreach: Donald Trump and his campaign actively engaged with Rogan, resulting in a highly viewed interview and potentially contributing to Trump's success in the 2024 election.
• Realignment of the Working Class: The video argues that both parties have left the working class behind, but the Republican party has successfully positioned itself as the home for disillusioned working-class voters.

Highlights:

• The video emphasizes the Democratic party's coordinated attack on Bernie Sanders and his supporters, including the "Bernie Bros" narrative.
• The video highlights the Ivermectin controversy and CNN's misrepresentation of Rogan's use of the drug.
• The video suggests that a feeling of being welcomed and listened to, even imperfectly, is a significant factor in voters' political alignment.
• The video points out the irony of the Democratic party alienating the very voters they claimed to represent.
