CRIMINAL FOREIGN POLICY

DW—The video features an in-depth discussion with Scott Ritter, a former Pentagon analyst and intelligence officer, about the ongoing 12-day war between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other. The conversation centers on the tragic and controversial events of the war’s first day, specifically a devastating Tomahawk missile strike on a primary school in Iran that killed over 180 children. Ritter exposes significant failures in U.S. military targeting procedures and the disregard for international law, particularly the cancellation of the civilian harm and mitigation team by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which led to unchecked strikes on civilian infrastructure such as schools and hospitals.

JUDGE NAP—The video is a deeply insightful and urgent interview conducted by Judge Andrew Napolitano with Professor Seyed Muhammad Morandi, who provides a firsthand account of life in Tehran amid an aggressive conflict initiated by the United States and Israel. The discussion centers on the resilience of the Iranian people, the miscalculations made by Western powers, and the broader geopolitical and moral implications of the ongoing war. Professor Morandi describes the devastation caused by preemptive “carpet bombing” terror strikes, including the tragic bombing of a girls’ school, and condemns the false narrative propagated by the U.S. government accusing Iran of such atrocities.

JULIAN MACFARLANE—Let us keep in mind, however, that Trump’s policies are not his own, not even his lies — they are long-standing national policy, in place since 1945, when the US became the only empire to survive the war intact . Yes, they lied then too.

Trump is bad, a war criminal So was Biden. So was Obama. So was Bush. So was Clinton. But we have too look beyond personalities to the environment that has generated this malignancy.

JM—Western analysts as of March 2026 like to classify Iranian missiles as MRVs rather than MIRVs (independently guided to different areas) mostly because they like to sneer at Iranian technological advances —but Iran claims “multiple warhead” capabilities, meaning independent targeting within an area or adjacent areas. In practice, it all depends on the target environment.

In fact, Iran’s tactical technology ahead of the US, which has both MRVs and MIRVs but only for nuclear weapons, and has yet to develop operational hypersonic missiles like the Iranian ones. Simply put, its missiles are a generation behind.

RICHARD MEDHURST—In recent days, Iran has inflicted one of the most humiliating military defeats on the United States and its allies in the Middle East by systematically destroying critical radar and communication infrastructure that underpins the U.S.-led missile defense network in the region. The Iron Dome and associated missile defense systems, which many believe are centered inside Israel, actually rely heavily on radar installations spread across Gulf Arab states such as Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, and Kuwait. These radar sites serve as the eyes and ears for early warning and missile interception, connecting frontline bases to command centers like the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and the Pentagon.
