Neocons Closer than Ever to War with Iran


Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou discuss the impending retaliation from Iran, which is expected to occur soon and could involve significant attacks on the US and its allies. The speakers note that Iran's response will not be a small-scale attack like the one in April, and the US military is preparing for this potential strike.

Markets are crashing, and travel warnings have been issued as tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate. Iran is reportedly seeking help from Russia and has called a meeting of the Organization of Islamic States (OIC), which may influence the timing of their response.

The speakers emphasize that indications point to a major Iranian response, and war seems imminent. The speakers also discuss the historical context of Iran's restraint and the potential consequences of a war, including missile strikes on Israel and US intervention.

The video also touches on the controversial telephone conversation between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the lack of diplomatic efforts from the Biden White House to deescalate tensions with Iran.

Alexander Mercouris is a writer on international affairs with a special interest in Russia and law.  He has written extensively on the legal aspects of NSA spying and events in Ukraine in terms of human rights, constitutionality and international law.  He worked for 12 years in the Royal Courts of Justice in London as a lawyer, specializing in human rights and constitutional law. His family has been prominent in Greek politics for several generations.  He is a frequent commentator on television and speaker at conferences.  He resides in London.
