In this episode of Parallax Views, journalist and foreign policy analyst Ted Snider joins us to discuss his latest article for Antiwar.com, "America’s Deception Strengthens Iranian Hardliners." As tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran escalate following devastating Israeli strikes, Snider breaks down how recent events, such as Trump's rhetoric following the strikes, may have sabotaged permanently sabotaged nuclear negotiations and reinforced the position of Iran’s most hawkish factions.

We examine:

Trump’s inflammatory statements and alleged coordination with Israel

How U.S. deception may have derailed peace talks

The historical pattern of American betrayal toward Iranian reformists

The long-term consequences for diplomacy and U.S.-Iran relations

This conversation provides critical context for understanding the geopolitics of the Middle East and how American foreign policy continues to undermine moderates while fueling hardliner narratives in Iran.
