Interview 2024 – Trita Parsi on Why the Iran War Isn’t Over Yet

by | Jul 7, 2026 | Interviews, Videos | 3 comments

Rejoice! The Iran war is over!…or is it? Today James talks to Trita Parsi, the co-founder and Executive Vice President of The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, about his recent reporting on why Iran believes Israel will attack again before October. We also discuss the emerging new Middle Eastern order and whether Israel can be brought into the fold or if an anti-Abraham Accord pact will define the new status quo. As a bonus, James asks Trita about reports that the State Department is trying to have him deported.

Trita Parsi is talking like a sensible grown up and we live in hope – if this was the aim of governments towards peace we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. Put simply I can’t help but think that the Israeli’s need to be brought to heel for anything to work diplomatically!

May Trita Parsi be right about this issue, the European restrictions of crude oil, liquefied gas, fertilizers, Aluminum and helium… etc. have already started at this point, I believe it is a trick of the European Union run by the elites. They are just playing with this conflict to impoverish their citizens. .

One big difference between Europe in 1945 and the Middle East now is that Europe’s royal families did not hold much real power, unlike the principalities of the Middle East.

Personally speaking, I think peace is more about how people see themselves. If the average person in the UK sees themselves as at war with the average person in Russia, war is more likely. People who see “Russia” or “Iran” or any other country as some amorphous entity personified by a caricatured leader are the ones who sit yelling at the TV (yes, the TV), calling for war.
