Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi is a professor of history at York University, England and author of "Revolution and its Discontents" and is a recognized scholar of Iran . . . and today I had a great talk with him about the current attacks and threats of a larger war coming from Israel and the U.S.

We discussed the possible reasons for the current crisis, the role of Iran's nuclear program and the JCPOA, the Axis of Resistance, Israeli losses and potential vulnerabilities, what the regional environment is like, and Iran's domestic political situation.

It's an analysis you're not likely to hear elsewhere.

Eskandar Sadeghi has written extensively on this topic, including at "Iran and the 'Axis of Resistance': A Brief History" and "Culmination" in NLR's "Sidecar"
