U.S.-Iran tensions echo Iraq War fears, with regime change and nukes in focus.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. How does the current situation with Iran compare to past conflicts like Iraq?
2. What is your take on Trump's ambiguous stance regarding potential military action against Iran?
3. Do you see parallels between the propaganda before the Iraq War and the rhetoric around Iran today?
4. What are the main issues in the talks between Iran and the U.S.?
5. Do you think the primary goal of the U.S. and Israel is regime change in Iran or targeting its nuclear program?

Norman Solomon:

1. We’re witnessing a demagogic approach from Trump, treating global affairs as his plaything, backed by the U.S. military-industrial complex.
2. There are chilling parallels to the Iraq War—manufactured threats, fearmongering, and dangerous rhetoric about preemptive strikes.
3. The U.S. demands unrealistic terms like no enrichment, ignoring peaceful civilian uses of nuclear technology in Iran.
4. Regime change is definitely on the agenda for some, particularly Netanyahu, though it’s irrational and could lead to catastrophic outcomes.
5. Using nuclear weapons, even tactical ones, would be suicidal and heighten global risks to human survival.
