Mehdi Hasan

Mehdi Hasan, a prominent left‑wing journalist, sat down to dissect the U.S.‑led war on Iran, labeling it illegal, unjustified and self‑destructive. He argues the conflict is driven largely by Israel’s strategic influence over American policymakers rather than clear national interests. Hasan also highlights a sharp shift in U.S. public opinion, with polls showing a growing majority opposing the war. The interview underscores the disconnect between former Trump promises of “no new wars” and the current reality, raising questions about political motivations behind foreign‑policy decisions.
