On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Alan Eyre, a former senior adviser for Iran and first Persian-language spokesperson at the US State Department. He discusses the Trump administration’s strategic ambiguity and inconsistency towards Iran regarding the nuclear program, missiles, and regime change, whether China and Russia will come to Iran’s rescue for economic and military aid, the weakening of the Iranian economy by the US and structural economic problems, Iran’s continued deterrence via hypersonic missiles, whether Iran should pursue nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the US and nuclear-armed Israel, the power of the Israel lobby as war with Iran looms, Israel’s goal being the annihilation of Iran rather than a US-Iran deal, whether he would advise Trump to use military action against Iran, and much more.
