Agenda: Iran, Israel and the USA - What’s it all about?
In this interview, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Chris hedges discusses what the consequences would be if Israel draws the USA into a full-blown war with Iran.
Hedges reflects on his years reporting from war zones, the cynical nihilism driving Netanyahu‘s assault, and how Israel’s genocide in Gaza has become a “spectacle“ that has irreparably broken trust in the region and with respect to international politics.
Hedges will address many other questions including whether the complicity of Arab states in the genocide will lead to blowback? As well as whether regime change is an end goal for the United States?

She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny.
