On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Theodore Postol, Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and National Security Policy at MIT and former Chief of Naval Operations Adviser at the Pentagon. He discusses the state of Donald Trump’s war on Iran and the pressure on him from the Israel lobby, why this is a war of existential survival for Iran and not a defensive war on the part of the US, the prospect of Donald Trump using nuclear weapons against Iran and why it is impossible for the US and Israel to fully destroy Iran’s nuclear program, Iran’s strategy of remaining on the brink of obtaining nuclear weapons but not crossing the threshold, why Israel is the real nuclear danger in the region as Israel’s military is on the ropes, the prospect of Iran striking Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility, and much more.
