Episode notes
Regime Change Is The Explicit Objective
- The US-Israel attack on Iran is driven by a stated objective of regime change and long-term Israeli regional hegemony.
- Jeffrey Sachs ties the operation to Israeli aims of dominance backed by the US and to removing Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
Iran Strike Is Part Of A Global Hegemony Campaign
- The attack fits a broader US global-hegemony strategy across multiple theaters, not an isolated Iran incident.
- Sachs lists Venezuela, Cuba, the Middle East and Europe as interconnected fronts of a US attempt to maintain dominance.
Negotiations Were Active When Attack Occurred
- Negotiations with Iran were progressing and Oman mediated talks were ongoing, undermining claims of imminent Iranian threat.
- Sachs says the Treasury admitted a policy of 'maximal pressure' aimed at collapsing Iran's economy to provoke unrest.
