Summary

Scott brings Ted Snider back on to discuss a major story that nobody but Antiwar.com appears to be covering. The Biden Administration recently declassified its Nuclear Posture Review where it is admitted that Iran is not working towards a nuclear bomb. After a quick discussion about how U.S. nuclear strike policy has evolved since the Cold War, Scott and Snider dig into this bombshell of a story. They reflect back on all the revelations that made it clear the Iran nuclear weapons program was a hoax. Now, this official acknowledgment really drives home how ridiculous all this chest-thumping has been. Scott and Snider finish with a quick discussion about how the U.S. has created and prolonged the nuclear tension with North Korea. Discussed on the show: “US Admits Iran Is Not Building a Nuclear Bomb” (Antiwar.com) The Threat by Andrew Cockburn Manufactured Crisis by Gareth Porter Losing an Enemy by Trita Parsi “When the Ayatollah Said No to Nukes” (Foreign Policy) “Iran, Islam, and Banning the Bomb” (Antiwar.com) Ted Snider has a graduate degree in philosophy and writes on analyzing patterns in U.S. foreign policy and history. He is a regular writer for Truthout, MondoWeiss and antiwar.com.
