In this crucial discussion, we delve into the most pressing questions about the region's future with two leading experts: academic and author Dr. Tim Anderson, and the chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, Massoud Shadjareh.

Our panel confronts the core issues head-on, discussing whether Iran's nuclear program is merely a pretext for suppressing a powerful, independent nation that resists the U.S.-Israeli agenda. We analyze Western hypocrisy, questioning how the UK government can ban the activist group Palestine Action while its ministers meet with individuals linked to globally recognized terrorist organizations.

Join us as we explore the concept of a "Greater Israel," the strategic implications for Syria, and the collapse of Western moral standards. We also discuss the future of resistance, the impact of global pro-Palestine demonstrations, and whether the pervasive Islamophobia in Western media can be countered. This is a vital conversation that connects the dots between policy, media, and popular movements.
