In this intense interview from June 10, 2026, a correspondent in Beirut analyzes the escalating regional conflict following Israeli attacks on Dahieh and subsequent Iranian retaliation. The discussion highlights a historic shift in military power dynamics, noting Iran’s unprecedented decision to attack first in defense of a third party, Lebanon. The guest argues that US imperial strategy is clashing with Zionist ideology, dragging Washington into a losing war as Israel resorts to genocide and ethnic cleansing due to military failures. The conversation covers the collapse of US-backed Gulf states’ security, the strategic isolation of Israel, and potential geopolitical realignments involving Turkey and Egypt. Key topics include the weakening of American air defenses, the resilience of the Axis of Resistance, and the growing disconnect between GCC leadership and their populations amidst widespread destruction.
