About this episode

Max Blumenthal interviews Iranian analyst Mostafa Khoshcheshm about the escalating conflict involving the US and Israel and its implications for Iran's regional power status.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets Mostafa Khoshcheshm, one of Iran's most connected and prolific analysts and journalists, to discuss the next phase of the US-Israeli war on the country, and why he thinks Iran will emerge as a regional power. Khoshcheshm explains how the current phase of conflict will likely escalate into a full blown regional war, and why he believes that Israel is already on its way toward an internal political implosion.
