America Needs An Intervention (S01E146)
Description
Tuesday, September 8, 2026, Istanbul
Canada is finally standing up to America’s abuses and the UK finally is standing up to Israel’s crimes. But will such interventions be enough?
In the latest jam-packed episode of badlands, I discuss the Ottawa’s doubling down on its confrontation with the US and the UK’s proposal to impose sanctions on Israeli settlements.
The episode features part one of my interview with Chatham House’s brilliant Sanam Vakil, who has a critical, well-informed take on the crisis in the Persian Gulf.
Also in the episode, I discuss the wider implications of the the US war against Iran in an in-depth interview with Pakistan TV.
Additionally, I discuss Iran’s latest attempt to impose its control over the Strait of Hormuz and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s attempt to bring a measure of control over Iran’s nuclear program in an interview with India’s NewsX World.
