Strikes on Iran Imminent, Trump Prepares ‘Catastrophic’ War: Expert

Mouin Rabbani, Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, discusses Trump’s escalating threats against Iran, as the U.S. deploys an aircraft carrier, fighter jets, and an “armada” to the region — saying that a US-Israeli attack on Iran is “imminent.”

Rabbani discusses the media playbook used to manufacture consent for war, from inflated casualty figures to selective outrage. He also situates this escalation in the broader context of U.S. and Israeli regional ambitions, sanctions, and the manipulation of public opinion to justify another potentially catastrophic war.
