INTERVIEW: The Iran deal is an unmitigated disaster for the US
“This is a historic capitulation that will define the structure of global power for the next hundred years.”
I was interviewed by French broadsheet newspaper Liberatión earlier this week about the US-Iran peace accord. I spoke with their international affairs correspondent Isabelle Hanne on Monday, before the full text of the memorandum was released, based on widespread reports of what was anticipated.
We now know what the Trump administration has since agreed to, and it only strengthens my conviction that this ‘deal’ represents the most humiliating and catastrophic capitulation in US foreign policy history… or at the very least, in 47 years of negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Liberatión have kindly allowed me to reproduce the Q&A in full on these pages. For the Francophones, the original (in French) is here. I have appended some details on what is actually included in the text of the deal in the post-script.
