00:00:43I of
00:00:43of realized the importance of photography when it comes
00:00:46to moments in
00:00:47history.
00:00:52of I think it's
00:00:55just um a personal feeling that is
00:00:58interesting for me. to be part of history that is
00:01:02in the making right now, in the moment when I'm
00:01:05there.
00:01:10I think faces
00:01:12a and mostly the eyes of a person
00:01:16can tell more than anything else
00:01:20you can
00:01:24of of take photos of.
00:01:30Iran had warned if war begins, this time it will not remain within Iran's
00:01:35of borders, but Washington did not take Tiran's warning seriously, but
00:01:38of followed a was a widening battlefield, Israel and US bases in
00:01:42Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and
00:01:45Kuwait came under attack, the war began in the skies, but soon reached the
00:01:49veins
00:01:49of the economy, then Tehran issued its next warning, if Iran's
00:01:53infrastructure is targeted, your infrastructure will be targeted as
00:01:56well, and the world quickly understood that even silence and neutrality. and this war
00:02:00could carry heavy
00:02:01of price, but Iran's next warning is even more
00:02:04consequential. The war could become extra
00:02:07regional. No official evidence says that all recent incidents
00:02:11are connected, but this is where the central question begins. When Iran
00:02:15speaks of an extra regional war, does it only mean an
00:02:19expansion of geography, or does it refer to a chain of energy
00:02:22routes, supports, military bases, markets and the global
00:02:26economy? The United States once ignored Iran's warning about the regional.
00:02:30information of war and it is still dealing with the costs. now the
00:02:33question is, if Washington ignores the warning of an extra regional
00:02:37war this time as well, will it be able to pay the
00:02:40price?

00:05:33the Islama about ceasefire unraveled almost as quickly as it had
00:05:37been signed, giving its way
00:05:39to new round of conflict between Tehran and Washington.
00:05:48the embattled president the US has left no stone unturned and
00:05:52yet he seems desperately looking for a way out of this part the
00:05:56world, will he succeed, time will
00:05:59tell?
00:06:29hello everyone and welcome to Press TV's news review program, we get in-depth in one
00:06:33the days top stories. now American media reports say chairman the US joint
00:06:37chiefs of staff is uh looking or us joint chief pardon is looking for an
00:06:41off-ramp from the... in Iran. According to reports, general Dan
00:06:45Kane is a privately made clear to top advisors the US president Donald
00:06:48Trump that Washington needs to find an exit from the war and uh during
00:06:52our program we're going
00:06:53to get deep into it. Let's get on it uh here
00:06:55we go, we have we're joined by Mr. John Stepling author and commentator joining us out
00:06:59of Inderoy Norway as well as uh zain Adam zakaria our Prest TV colleague
00:07:03here joining us in Tehran. I guess we get uh started with you a John out there
00:07:07in Norway um now we know the the war has been
00:07:11largely unpopulated. from its very onset, John, and it's continuing to get even
00:07:15more and more unpopular, and lot of people feel that this second round of
00:07:19aggression wasn't even far from warranted. Your initial thoughts on
00:07:22this? Well, it is
00:07:26extraordinarily unpopular domestically,
00:07:30uh, but it's also viewed as as
00:07:34incompetently prosecuted war uh,
00:07:38and and there the the
00:07:41administration. uh is searching
00:07:45for fall guides for for people
00:07:47to uh get the blame catch the blame Pete
00:07:51Hegseth is probably first in line for
00:07:54that uh Trump doesn't like to admit his
00:07:58own failures ever uh but but yeah
00:08:01Dan Kain who has the reputation uh of being
00:08:05a realist and and kind of a you know a hard
00:08:09ass about these things uh is such.
00:08:12ly sounding like like he
00:08:15desperately wants to find a
00:08:18way uh to to withdraw
00:08:22with anything that resembles
00:08:24feasible justification uh
00:08:28they're going to kind the the US will declare victory no
00:08:32matter what that's always what they do but they have been
00:08:35humiliated and and the public knows this in mid-term
00:08:39elections uh Republicans will will
00:08:43suffer hugely, that's the general consensus, and
00:08:47I i think that's right, so top
00:08:51of this, the economy is terrible, there
00:08:55are more and more problems with
00:08:58infrastructure, and there is
00:09:01huge backlash now against the ice
00:09:05agents, and their raids and deportations
00:09:09domestically, and there is backlash against... lock
00:09:12cameras and surveillance and the building of data centers, all
00:09:16of this, um, the public is is hugely
00:09:20against, so we're reaching some kind of
00:09:24crochendo here uh, right before these mid-term
00:09:28elections, and and Trump has no idea what to do, I mean he
00:09:32keeps you know engaging in vanity projects
00:09:35and putting gold leaf on on,
00:09:39half century old statues and so forth. he doesn't
00:09:43know what to do and he has stocked his
00:09:46administration with people that don't know what to do
00:09:50uh, this is least competent, least
00:09:53educated, least statesman-like administration
00:09:57in US history, this is the the just
00:10:01wildly um untrained for
00:10:05for their positions, none them have
00:10:08a reputation as great thinkers,
00:10:12have great experience uh and and we're seeing kind
00:10:16the result of this is that that the US is
00:10:20alienating more and more countries every week and
00:10:24and "the the US in general is
00:10:28not used to this and it's part of part of Trump's
00:10:31unpopularity is the US, the casual
00:10:34American voter wants a winner, they want to be seen
00:10:38as a winner, and then the maga people of course will
00:10:42insist that US is the greatest country in the world, the greatest thing
00:10:46since sliced bread and you know they can do no
00:10:50wrong, but people are angry and and the ice
00:10:54raid..." "I think are an unprecedented assault
00:10:58on civil liberties and the bill of rights, I've never seen anything
00:11:02like it, and the backlash is is growing, we're
00:11:05seeing enormous resistance to this now and enormous
00:11:09anger, so top of it, the US has been
00:11:13humiliated with with this aggression against
00:11:17Iran, they've thoroughly been beaten, this once
00:11:20great, supposedly great military
00:11:24that..." Hollywood has spent 40 years making movies
00:11:28about uh, this military has been reduced to
00:11:32lathing stock, they can't, they can't carry
00:11:36out any kind of um assault on
00:11:40Iran, certainly no ground invasion, they don't know how to
00:11:43mount um an offensive that makes
00:11:46any sense or or would not
00:11:50lead to even further
00:11:52you know destruction of bases in the... region further destruction
00:11:56of um ships and drones and
00:12:00fighter jets, the US has lost all
00:12:03them, and so that what are they going to
00:12:07do, they don't know what to do, so we're looking at people like Dan
00:12:10kane, very,
00:12:13you know, realistic guy with lot of experience,
00:12:16even if he's even if he's a sort of full-blown
00:12:19fascist, um, and even he is looking for a way
00:12:23out, a justification. to withdraw and and
00:12:27get out because the US has has
00:12:30exhausted its options at this point. thank
00:12:34you, john, z, welcome to the conversation, thanks
00:12:37for your patience. z and then donald trump also on the other hand
00:12:40orders a probe into um see what the leak
00:12:44came out, that that people, so it's not only bad that the war is highly
00:12:48unpopular both with lawmers in Trump's cabinet with the American people, but if you talk
00:12:52about it and if you're close to Donald Trump, you might... get targeted
00:12:56uh tell us how unpopular this war is back in the states with law makers and
00:13:00even now is we're hearing increasingly Trump's
00:13:02intercircle? well the thing Danny is that Trump
00:13:06has not just
00:13:07you know alienated lot of people within his
00:13:10administration he has also make it um very easy for
00:13:14people within the US administration itself to hate him and I'm
00:13:18talking about the fact that he has invested heavily in
00:13:21reducing the federal um you know um
00:13:25uh grants that goes into various um you know
00:13:29um us whether it's the US senate whether it's the it's
00:13:33the pentagon um you know we've seen a
00:13:36lot of money being pulled out of this very very important um
00:13:40operation and that's why you see that within the administration itself
00:13:44within um the US um government itself
00:13:48there is lot of um anger towards what the US president is
00:13:52doing not just with the war in Iran just like our guest even
00:13:55internally with ice and everything, so I think it it's multif
00:13:59it, so the first part is internally within the United State,
00:14:03people generally don't have problem with wars, we've seen that the
00:14:06US population have gone through multiple wars and the
00:14:10media has been able to sell it to them as a way of exacted pressure and the
00:14:14power the United States, so people don't have problem with war, the wars
00:14:18they have problem with is the war that they begin to feel internally
00:14:22within the United States, so when we saw that the... when the Vietnam war
00:14:26began to be very, very costly for United States, it
00:14:30became very unpopular internally, the Iraq war lasted for almost
00:14:3420 years uh, and yeah, there were protests here and there, but it it it
00:14:38was still a very popular war, so the United State and the population
00:14:42in the US generally don't have problem with wars, the wars they have
00:14:46problem with, it's wars that are very, very costly for the United State, and we've
00:14:49seen from the very beginning, whether it's in the 12-day war or the
00:14:5340-day war, the... said of of lost especially when it comes
00:14:57to um the media, the US media very very
00:15:00powerfully
00:15:01has been able to convince many people that you know war is beneficial, but when it comes
00:15:05to Iran,
00:15:06it was almost very quickly that that narrative changed,
00:15:10especially because we're coming off the Gaza genocide where people saw
00:15:13how um the United State assisted Israel in carrying out that
00:15:17genocide, so we we have a preparation already on the ground
00:15:21where not just um you know um in the US but also in
00:15:25global atmosphere, people are against any war, especially war, the
00:15:29benefit Israel or is supported by the United States and so when he came
00:15:33to Iran and the Iranians were
00:15:35you know we saw how ' the
00:15:38Iranian um um embassies around the world were
00:15:42when he went on x and the way that they were able to make this
00:15:45war very very clear that is expensive for the United States so that is the
00:15:49first aspect when it comes to generation. second aspect is that when the
00:15:53straight up almost closed immediately the prices of brend and
00:15:57oil prices and other associated um you know product
00:16:00went up so americans saw the effect of that war almost
00:16:04immediately coming out their pocket and this is coming up. the economic crisis
00:16:08that is already happening in the United States and when it comes to how
00:16:12Iran has
00:16:13been able to systematically target the the
00:16:16foundation the US military bases around the region and
00:16:20also the impact that is having on American soldiers
00:16:23so when you put all of this um you know issues together it makes this
00:16:27war very very expensive and very very visibly
00:16:30expensive for the American um people and that has make it
00:16:34um to where we are now where many senates many senate. does
00:16:37even um you know from the republican um you know asking
00:16:41Trump what is the point and our view our guest also said something
00:16:45very interesting which is that Trump is surrounded by
00:16:49idiots and those who are not idiotic have been fired we
00:16:53saw how he he
00:16:55he he purged uh you know in essence the the the um the
00:16:59military command center in the United State and replace them with yes
00:17:03man because we know Trump is always looking for people who say yes to
00:17:06him so... "this war did not come from a place where
00:17:10everything was pre-planned, it came from reaction to
00:17:14whatever happened um,
00:17:16you know, on the battlefield where Trump I this want,
00:17:18says
00:17:18what is bring me something that is related that can give me exactly
00:17:22what I want, and when th those failed and he comes back and say, I want something else
00:17:25again, when the um, during the war when the Trump administration said
00:17:29that they were going to start escorting ships through the straight of
00:17:32Ormus, many generals told him that this was impossible, it's
00:17:36it's not f'. able and we saw that many them were fired and then
00:17:40just 24 hours later Trump came and said
00:17:43that has been canceled and that we consistently see that and continue to
00:17:47see it um the war and and until now it seems though Trump is
00:17:51just reacting um you know to whatever situation happened then he
00:17:55react and bring new plan um into front but I think as the
00:17:58war progresses we're going to start seeing new emergence
00:18:02of new coalition in the region recently we saw the Saudi
00:18:06Turkey and Pakistan. act and that is as a direct reaction to
00:18:10the war happening um you know in the region, everyone is beginning to understand
00:18:14the dependence on the Americans is not going to take you anywhere
00:18:17okay
00:18:18and that the Iranians have demonstrated that when
00:18:19you stand on your own and you try and form you know multilateral um
00:18:23relation it's far better than depending on the Americans because you get nothing um you
00:18:27know for that thank you uh zab and John uh you you kind of touch
00:18:31on this I wonder if you could elaborate on the on the unpopular on
00:18:35the unpopularity the war what do you think it soly goes back to or
00:18:39primarily goes back to the uh impact it has in the fuel
00:18:43stations on energy uh cost, the failures to actually
00:18:46achieve any the objectives on the ground that are tangible,
00:18:50possibly lack of a pretext that satisfies the
00:18:53American uh people uh where do you see the the
00:18:57issue with the American people with those in congress, with those around or within
00:19:01Donald Trump's cabinet
00:19:03uh where is that opposition, what fuels it uh and what do
00:19:06you see the primary fuel that?
00:19:37context of this discussion, because this
00:19:41is huge part of
00:19:43the the geography, not
00:19:46geography, but the physics of the
00:19:50global movements of capital and so forth,
00:19:54always kind of follow the US and Israel, and
00:19:58and the zionists are scrambling, they are trying to colonize
00:20:02Argentina and the Philippines, Cyprus, they're always looking
00:20:06to buy land and somewhere the Greek islands and they're
00:20:10being rejected, everybody in the world hates them. one the
00:20:14huge issues in the coming elections in the US
00:20:18is who is backed by Abac and who is not
00:20:21backed by Abac, people are, I people that
00:20:25that used to support Israel no longer support
00:20:28them, a live stream genocide will
00:20:32do that, Israel is hugely unpopular, and
00:20:36so uh... people people want
00:20:39uh to believe in something again the
00:20:42way they they once did and they're having a hard time doing
00:20:46that the U.S. public education
00:20:50crashed after Reagan, they pulled the plug on public education. This
00:20:54is hugely underereducated populaus
00:20:58now, compared to China or Iran or even
00:21:02Russia, the US is is lagging behind
00:21:06by every metric you can find, and they're not
00:21:09producing scientists, they're not producing innovations in
00:21:13industry or or infrastructure, it's a it's a
00:21:17it's a huge,
00:21:19you know... one one factor affects
00:21:23the next factor and we're seeing cascading
00:21:26effect of failure in this culture
00:21:29now, and and you're seeing the oligarchs, the people
00:21:33that call lot of policy decisions, Peter teal
00:21:36and and people like that, Sam altman and
00:21:40Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, all these people are
00:21:43hated figures now, but they have enormous power
00:21:47and the their their policies are being... push through things
00:21:51like data centers uh, so it it
00:21:55feeds kind of collective paranoia in the
00:21:58US, my reading of it, the
00:22:02from distance and talking to people is that there is a
00:22:06growing paranoia, more and more people are leaving the country
00:22:10in fact, and part of this equation though
00:22:14is Israel and and how they are perceived now,
00:22:18they are not popular. "there are constant,
00:22:21you know, disturbances and fist fights and
00:22:25public brawls about Israel, involving
00:22:29zionis in the United States, even, so this
00:22:32is unusual, we only have a couple minutes left, I really want to give this last a
00:22:36question to you, John, what do you think continues to fuel and
00:22:40drive uh Donald Trump and his ambition, this belief that he has that
00:22:44this aggression against Iran will yield in the intended
00:22:48results that he's looking for." um,
00:22:52i the Trump is not going to get
00:22:56anything that that he wants, i don't think. we also have to
00:23:00remember he's in, he's a very old guy, and he's in
00:23:04decline, he's in physical decline,
00:23:07uh, it's pretty obvious he's in some kind of cognitive
00:23:11mental decline, um, how how
00:23:15extensive is,
00:23:17you know, is unclear, but it's, but it's... marked
00:23:21and he is constantly making speeches that make
00:23:25no sense and and are and embarrassment,
00:23:29so his staff are trying to manage him more than
00:23:32ever, it's hard to know what what he wants, what he thinks he
00:23:36wants anymore, i don't really know, but the the
00:23:40things that have to be remembered are the effect of Israel, netan
00:23:44yahoos influence, the epsteen files and
00:23:48his apparent. inspiration to keep those from coming
00:23:52to light, he
00:23:53is essentially selling pardons to criminals, mostly
00:23:57zionist white color criminals, but if you
00:24:01if you have the money you can buy a a prison pardon
00:24:05from Donald Trump, there's naked insider
00:24:08training and corruption, people are aware of
00:24:12this, and then you have the ice raids that are
00:24:16illegal and their human rights activists,
00:24:20screaming, legal aid lawyers are screaming, ACLU
00:24:24is screaming, everybody is outraged, there are
00:24:27families with people living in the US legally who have had
00:24:31family members deported and they don't even know where they have been
00:24:34deported, so um it's a it's a
00:24:38strange kind of time of of uh that will
00:24:42be looked back on, I think in in
00:24:45bewilderment by future historians, how did we get to
00:24:49this? place because uh certainly in our
00:24:52lifetimes we've never seen anything like this. all
00:24:56right, good stuff. thank you, Mr. uh, John Stepling, their author and commentator
00:25:00joining us out of Inderoy, Norway and our inhouse colleague here,
00:25:04our steam colleague, I should say zane Adam,
00:25:06thank you both dearly and sincerely and stay safe to both
00:25:09of you and viewers, and that's a wrap for this uh issue of your press
00:25:12tv news review program. thanks for joining us and bye-bye for
00:25:15now.
00:25:30Very deep within the US house armed services committee's massive
00:25:34$1.15 trillion dollar fiscal year
00:25:372027 national defense authorization act
00:25:40draft lies a provision that signals more than routine
00:25:44military cooperation with Israel, it signals a
00:25:48structural intanglement. Section 2:24, as
00:25:52it is identified, has now spark debate. It reflects a
00:25:56deeper shift in the long standing US and Israel's so-called
00:26:00security relationship, and it is moving it from
00:26:03partnership into formalized institutional
00:26:06coordination at the military level, and hey, it
00:26:10also comes a moment when the American public burned by an
00:26:14unprovoked and illegal war against Iran wants less
00:26:17entanglement in Tel Aviv's wars, not more,
00:26:21yet section 224 delivers the exact opposite,
00:26:25report suggests the provision would require the designation of
00:26:29dedicated pentagon executive agent to court. coordinate
00:26:32expanded cooperation with the Israeli military
00:26:36establishment covering research, development,
00:26:39procurement, and advanced systems integration. the
00:26:43US and Israel may say this is just a joint innovation in
00:26:47artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, quantum
00:26:50computing and next generation war technologies, but
00:26:54beneath this technical language lies a far more
00:26:57consequential reality, one in which intelligence sharing,
00:27:01data systems and military infrastructure become
00:27:04increasingly interwaven, structurally
00:27:07insulated from public accountability. Classified
00:27:11intelligence gathered by US military assets paid for the
00:27:15American taxpayer dollars could now be directly
00:27:19funneled into Israeli military systems through data
00:27:22fusion or the so-called network integration. By the
00:27:26way, this is already happening, but a lower scale. Can you
00:27:30imagine what could happen a larger? scale, it would deepen
00:27:34real-time operational coordination between the two militaries
00:27:38raising questions about overside accountability and the
00:27:42traditional bandaries between foreign military
00:27:45assistance and joint development. the provision
00:27:48also appears to expand industrial cooperation,
00:27:52potentially increasing co-production of weapons
00:27:55systems within the United States itself, further
00:27:59embedding the relationship into domestic. weapons supply
00:28:03chains, the asymmetric deterrance doctrine of
00:28:06Tehran and the entire axis of resistance has
00:28:10always rested on the reality that the United States and
00:28:13Israel are in practice a single joint
00:28:17actor. Section 22:4 now gives legal and
00:28:20institutional form to an operational reality that already
00:28:24existed, but the world did not want to
00:28:27see.
