Iran Would’ve Become Trump’s Afghanistan: Another Failed War

Obaidullah Baheer, PhD scholar at The New School and lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, joins the show from Kabul to discuss the US escalation against Iran as Trump deepens America’s endless wars in the Middle East.

Drawing on Afghanistan’s 20-year experience under US occupation, Baheer explains how Washington’s talk of “peace” whitewashes a legacy of bombings, proxy wars, and impunity, from Kabul to Gaza, as the region teeters once again on the brink.

“It doesn’t matter how many buildings we build, the West will see us as uncivilized, as subhuman, which is why our deaths don’t matter, which is why there’s a hierarchy of death.” – @ObaidullaBaheer
