classic is a classic situation when it is required to find a strategic and political foothold in the middle east thanks to which it would be possible to deploy a project in relation to other countries of the east , with the help of this base, not only military, but also political, one can spread influence over saudi arabia. egypt jordan is strong, then the people of bush sr. stopped on the border of iraq their main task, a massive military presence in the gulf. they ensured that in 10 years people more than the younger will no longer be able to stop such global goals as the fight against international terrorism does not provide for any borders and no stops. on the events of september 11, i would write our foreign policy as a protracted hysteria. it is useless, september 11 is the tragedy of several thousand people, but there are not only human, but also the state level at the state level there should not have been hysteria should be said, it did not harm us. you have achieved absolutely nothing. remember, again, our brzezin no world islam is not exist. it is necessary to stop the hysteria of the

even in the middle east, where the u. s. has been heavily invested and has spent trillions of dollars over the last 20 years in the name of this war on terrorism. top allies in the region are now concerned that the u. s. is too distracted by russia and ukraine and to return to the wrong nuclear jail may be right around the corner, leaders from egypt. the u. a. e are rock and saudi arabia met in jordan, head of an unprecedented meeting between the foreign ministers of the reign. egypt, the u. a. e morocco and jordan and israel over the weekend. while us secretary of st. anthony's blinking wasn't attend this, he was not in charge. the latest talks come as leaders in the middle east emphasize the need to give their own countries the level of global attention as a western world is giving to you. we have never seen a global response to us, nor sufferings. and we've been calling for this, that setting get precedent. and the region is by having witnessing the brutality again, it's the syrian people are in the scene ends, organic li

so what does that mean for israel the middle east and the conflicts that you lay out in the book? oh look. that is the that's the big question. it's the biggest question. i mean here you have what i would call neil isolationist trends here in the united states on the left and on the right during the trump administration we saw maximum pressure on iran even as we look to draw down from the middle east now we have no pressure on iran even as or say less pressure. i mean very kids would say very little pressure very little we're looking at really, you know an attempt to get back into a deal to provide, you know sanctions relief not a lot of restrictions put in place to keep a run in check and and so the iranians see this and they they smell opportunity. they look at this as a moment where we want to get out of the middle east and again, this is a fairly bipartisan sentiment right now, and we want to pivot to asia. the question is i think you know, and i raise this in the last chapter of the book. who are we going to tap to take our place when we leave because we are drawing down afgh

for more, we can speak to middle east expert or russia zane. he's also the author of a book on the u. s. and iran. welcome to the w. and now a bronze revolutionary guard has claimed responsibility for the missile attack and their bill. but there was some confusion about the intended target. can you tell us more about that? but when it comes to be clearer, now the i just itself said that it targeted and israeli base would be claimed and israeli base monday actually in this statement, they say that it was not in the same member in the other if they have been made, they say that it was far from any us base. and when the sharon security that they went on fox news a short while ago to say that the united states believe that the consulate was in fact not the intended target. so it seems clear that the, the militia in iran targeted and a midget israeli be in, are in iraq the quarter and not the beach was close by. and yet, what does this actually tell us about the relationship right now between the us and the iran officially looking at israel as being

it refused to accept a single person from the water on middle east ortiz don cosmo on us. what a great team player poland is for the west. from the beginning, it's supported kiev, criticised russia, and it's even taken in more refugees than any other nato country. since february 24th 2022, a total of over 2230000 refugees from ukraine have crossed the polish border with the largest number on march 6th. more than 100. 42000 people. it's always tragic when people are uprooted and forced to seek refuge in foreign lands. so hats off to poland for helping out. but looking at the bigger picture, it looks like warsaw, as generosity, only goes as far as its political interests. remember what happened last time migrants were at the country's borders. ah, thousands of middle eastern migrants and sub 0 temperatures begging for a chance at refuge in poland. they were met with tear gas drenched by water cannons and treated like invaders. it's no doubt a big contrast to that hospitality that ukrainian asylum seekers have been met with so far. you know what though, at least many in the w

the war in ukraine is threatening to send food prices soaring and parts of the middle east. the north africa countries there rely heavily on wheat imports from both russia and ukraine. dana holder reports, 11000 tons of wheat, arrived in lebanon this week. but this will be the last shipment from ukraine, the world's quay, wheat producers, russia and ukraine are at war lebanon, like other countries in the middle east and north africa can no longer rely on them for most of their imports. they're now trying to make up for an expected shortage beyond the beyond the other. we've reached out to a number of countries including the us, india, canada, and some european countries which produce the soft we need for our bread. but the problem is not just finding alternative sources, diversifying supplies could mean transportation delays or an increase in shipping costs. we prices have already hit a 14 year high. the words to go and differently. we will resort to more expensive countries that export weight, which would sell to us at prices that are not as cheap as in russia and ukraine.

even more precisely, the middle east became the direct object of the american projection of power, thef is the main site of the great game of the oil era, and here the americans directly, although not always smoothly inheriting british interest in american geopolitical concepts of the late forties iran, together with greece, turkey, afghanistan and pakistan, formed the so-called northern train on the path of the ussr's attempts to break through to the indian ocean. at the same time, iran was a zone of special british interests. since all of its oil was given away at the end of the session to british companies, the traditional pirate monarchy. pathological fear of the british, precisely in the wake of the struggle for the right to dispose of their own oil, masadyk becomes the head of the government, is appointed prime minister on may 1, 1951, after 3 days the interlis parliament adopts a law prepared by him on the nationalization of the oil industry and turns to the ussr for help the british asked for help from washington, but they advised not to be nervous the americans proposed creati

the middle east. >> for the world. the entire world.have a rogue regime like this with nuclear weapons, they can use them in two ways, they could threaten you directly with atomic bombs, they have a nuclear umbrella to threaten you with conventional weapons. and that gives them awesome power. i think you have to understand that i think iran would be a nuclear power different from all of the others. some are bad enough. but i think they won't obey any rules, this is so dangerous, dangerous for americans, and israelis and arabs and europeans, it changes history, that is why i took the step of coming to congress. speaking there, something that was not easy to do. and i am i doing it now took i'll continue to do this. i think it is important to prevent iran from having those means. by the way, if you want to know how bad the deal is, not only gives iran freedom with an international legitimacy, to enrich uranium in an unlimited quantity is more sophisticated centrifuges it gives them enormous amount of money, it is absurd, they are lifts sa
