Saudi & UAE Leaders BEG Trump To Stop Attacking Iran! (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy argues that the United States has lost leverage in its conflict with Iran, claiming President Trump backed away from additional military strikes because of military, economic, and strategic constraints — including pleas from Gulf State allies that Iran is poised to wipe them out. He cites a recent interview with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, who contends Iran has greater negotiating leverage, that U.S. missile stockpiles are limited, and that Iran is negotiating shipping arrangements with Oman rather than directly with the United States.

The discussion criticizes statements by Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, alleging the U.S. has repeatedly broken agreements while portraying Iran as the party violating deals. Jimmy also speculates about broader geopolitical consequences, including potential impacts on the Strait of Hormuz, global energy markets, and U.S. foreign policy toward Iran.



The US has to follow the MOU before anything else can go forward. No negotiations. The rest of the Middle East wants the US to back down, except the Israelis.
