Description:
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 | US Superpower Myth Shattered | The Duran | May 6, 2026
Source: The Duran youtube
Description:
Iran has achieved what almost no country has managed in the post-Cold War era, a strategic defeat of the United States military without being knocked out on the first punch. In a landmark conversation on The Duran, Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou sit down with Trita Parsi to dissect exactly how America's 40-year obsession with finding a "silver bullet" against Iran has brought Washington to its weakest position in the Middle East since 1979.
Parsi argues that the naval blockade of Iran sold to Trump as the final pressure tool that would force capitulation was built on dangerously flimsy analysis, and that the window for Trump to negotiate a genuine exit and spin it as a win is rapidly closing. From Iran's nuclear calculus and the prospect of a grand bargain replacing the JCPOA, to the long-term unraveling of the American security umbrella across the Gulf states, this episode maps out the tectonic shift now reshaping the global order. The question is no longer whether US primacy in the Middle East is ending it's whether Washington will recognize it in time to leave on its own terms.
