Iran Just Drew a New Red Line—And Israel Is Scared | w/ Trita Parsi

“For the first time, an attack on a third country has prompted a strong Iranian missile response against Israel. Netanyahu calls it a new equation; Israel’s power in the region is starting to be checked. Meaning it will no longer have complete impunity in its maneuverability in Lebanon, in Syria, and other places.”

Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to discuss Iran’s weekend retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. What does this mean for the broader conflict going forward? And as for ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, what of the up to $150 billion in Iranian assets frozen in U.S. sanctions?

“There’s never been any military force to back up the demands for Israel to stop committing war crimes. For the first time, now there is a willingness and a capacity by a state in the region.”
