Show Notes

On this episode of New Order, we speak to Ambassador John Bolton, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump in his first administration. Afshin Rattansi challenges him on his desire for Trump to pursue regime change in Tehran, his assertion that the Iranian people are on the brink of a mass uprising over the economic crisis caused largely by US sanctions, US-Israeli bombing causing Iranians to ‘rally around the flag’, claims that Iran is ‘isolated’ internationally, his assertion that the US can break Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz and that Iran’s military capabilities are severely degraded, and much more. 

Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you the viewers to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode! 

And a question for you, the viewers: Will the US’ war on Iran rank as a bigger disaster than the neocon wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
