‘This is not America’s war, this is Israel’s war against Iran’ – Kevork Almassian

As we go to air, it looks as though the war on Iran has resumed, and this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect scours the footage and all the details of this latest round of escalation. And the perfect guest to talk about the entire situation in the region is Kevork Almassian, award-winning journalist and host of the Syriana analysis podcast on YouTube. Mr. Sanchez thinks Donald Trump may abandon Israel in this conflict, with the American president looking to restore his approval numbers before the midterms. But Kevork asks whether Israel has something on Trump to keep him in line. Almassian also underscores the high stakes for the entire West and America’s global system, so they will go all in. Election developments in Yerevan are also in view, as our guest says Armenia will never become part of NATO or the EU, despite huge pressure to make it happen. The award-winning journalist claims that all the West’s actions point to efforts to ignite the Caucasus and create another point of tension on Russia’s border.
