Civil War in Iran Would Be 'Tenfold as Deadly' as Syria, Journalist Explains
15 months ago, Syria finally saw an end to the nearly 14 years of civil war after the ousting of Syrian Dictator Bashar Al-Assad. Now, as the US and Israel's war on neighboring Iran only escalates while they continue calls for Iranian civilians to "take over" their government, the question remains: could a Western-backed, civilian-led uprising come to fruition in Iran? And how much more difficult would regime change be there versus a country like Syria? Who better to ask than Middle East journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Anand Gopal – whose newest book, Days of Love and Rage, reports in-depth on Syria's civil war. In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Gopal explains to Mehdi which lessons from Syria's civil war are relevant for Iran today.

Israel 'Wants a Failed State' in Iran: Ex-Obama Official Slams the War and the Dems' Weak Response to It
Ben Rhodes served as deputy national security adviser in Barack Obama's White House for eight years. He was working with President Obama as Benjamin Netanyahu continued to pressure the US, time and time again, to attack Iran. Obama, says Rhodes, resisted the Israeli prime minister's pressure campaign, but now under President Donald Trump's second term, it's clear that "Netanyahu essentially bullied him [Trump] into this war." In this wide-ranging interview, Mehdi and Rhodes discuss Israel's role in provoking this war with Iran, the Democratic Party leadership's weak response to the conflict, and the events that led up to this disaster during the Obama and Biden presidencies.
