Great to be on @BeckyCNN to discuss Iran-Israel escalations, the important role of the United States at this major crossroad, the prospect of war with Iran, and the significance of diplomacy. (1)
👇Great article by @MazMHussain & @jeremyscahill at @DropSiteNews on Iran's missile strike on Israel.
I'm quoted explaining how Iran's aiming to create a new deterrence equilibrium, with the message being: "We can still hit you, & we can hit you ...hard."
Tehran tests the limits of retaliation as Israel lays siege to southern Lebanon
Governor @Tim_Walz is correct on Iran
There was a global coalition (called P5+1) and a nuclear agreement (called the JCPOA) that monitored + limited Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump left that agreement in the name of getting a better deal but replaced it with nothing.

The US is the adult in the room now. They can help deescalate this conflict, as they did once in April when Iran & Israel had a tit for tat episode. Or they can let this escalate into an even bigger war. This is a major crossroad.
“Joe Biden has… full support for Israel, and little if any acknowledgment of the humanity of the Palestinians.”
@mattduss explains why Washington, D.C. fails to recognize the humanity and value of Palestinian lives.

The Israeli government’s decision to dramatically escalate its attacks in Lebanon is a dangerous gamble that risks the lives of countless Lebanese, Israeli, Palestinian and other civilians across the region.
Read @CIPolicy full statement here
Center for International Policy (CIP) executive vice president Matt Duss issued the following statement regarding Israel’s recent escalation in...
In the months since this conflict began, Iran has chosen to avoid all-out hostilities with Israel and signaled it wants to avoid escalation, but this is a new and particularly volatile moment. The US must use all available tools to pull the region back from the brink.
I spoke with @CNBC about Iran's potential retaliation to Nasrallah's assassination.
Despite tough rhetoric, Iran's shown restraint, but many say a strong response is needed to deter Israel, with fears that Iranian territory & nuclear sites could be next.
Iran's leadership has vowed revenge, but its actions and language suggest — at least so far — a more measured response.
Great to join @mehdirhasan today to discuss the escalation in Lebanon and how Washington failed to learn lessons from 9/11.
Mehdi debunks some of the main media and hasbara myths about the new escalation in the Middle East.
