The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal visits a neighborhood in Eastern Tehran, Iran bombarded with 8 missiles launched by the US-Israeli coalition on March 9, 2026. There, he met local residents who witnessed what they described as a major atrocity in which dozens of civilians were killed, and many wounded, while scores of families were left homeless.

Above the door of an apartment building which was completely destroyed by the bombing, a local painted the phrase, "Proof of American crimes."

Former US Rep. Dennis Kucinich joins The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal to discuss Section 219, a measure insidiously inserted into the NDAA bill which will effectively merge the US and Israeli militaries across areas including AI, cyberwarfare, biotech, missile defense, and defense industrial production.

Kucinch explains why the bill will shatter what's left of American sovereignty and congressional oversight, contaminating the US military with Israeli spy technology, encouraging new levels of domestic repression while essentially forbidding any disentanglement from the strategically calamitous special relationship with Israel.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal reports back from Iran, where he covered the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, documented US-Israeli war crimes and interviewed officials and others about the shattered MOU and the latest phase of war. He will also discuss his political harassment at the hands of the Trump administration, which ordered Customs and Border Patrol agents to interrogate him on his return to the US and seize his electronic devices.

Former US Rep. Dennis Kucinich also joins The Grayzone to discuss the dangerous congressional bill that will effectively merge the US military with Israel's, cementing the so-called special relationship at a time when the American public is turning on Israel.

In an interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal, Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani addresses the public calls for avenging the US-Israeli killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by holding Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu personally accountable.

Does this constitute a shift in official Iranian policy, or is the Iranian government focused exclusively on conventional warfare as the US imposes a new phase of conflict on the country?

The US-Israeli coalition bombed Iran's Azadi Stadium on March 5, destroying the indoor volleyball and wrestling complex which hosts international competitions.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets top Iranian analyst and journalist Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran on July 9, moments after the US resumed airstrikes on Iran, and as the funeral procession for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proceeded through Iraq.

Blumenthal asks Khoshcheshm what the red flags of revenge seen throughout the funeral procession signify, and whether the many public calls for targeting the US president and his inner circle as retaliation for Khamenei's assassination, and the killings of other top Iranian leaders, are to be taken seriously.

Khoshcheshm explains why he sees a massive regional war over the horizon, and why this war may eventually reach the United States due to Trump's reckless behavior and "betrayal" of his own regional allies.

Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm has taught at a number of Iranian universities and academic centers, including the International Relations Faculty of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani after he presided over the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – the largest gathering in human history, where millions clamored for revenge for their leader's assassination.

Zakani is a leading conservative politician who campaigned for the presidency as an opponent of the JCPOA nuclear deal, and has since emerged as top critic of the MOU between Iran and the US.

In this exclusive interview with The Grayzone, Zakani addressed the popular calls for vengeance against Trump and Netanyahu during Khamenei's funeral, and whether they expressed an official policy.

As a former friend and ally of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani and former President Ebrahim Raisi, Zakani discussed the impact of their deaths on the Iranian nation, and addressed whether Iran responded strongly enough to Soleimani's assassination.

Zakani explained his critical views on the MOU, and provided his perspective on the deadly riots that rocked Iran this January as well as the devastating US-Israeli military campaign that followed.
