Olga and Tara are joined by Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, who was on the ground in Islamabad during the high-stakes 21-hour negotiations between the US and Iran.
We analyze the breakdown of diplomacy between US Vice President J.D. Vance and the Iranian delegation. Is the US strategy a calculated move for regional dominance, or a sign of diminishing diplomatic options? We look into the reality of the Strait of Hormuz crisis and the ‘information war’ that is shifting global perceptions of power.
We also explore how civilian casualties get normalized in global coverage and why Western media turn a blind eye to assassination calls for Iranian negotiators.
