Another great interview w/Nima. But I wish more detail could have been provided on exactly what Iran is prepared to accept with respect to Lebanon. For example, if an occasional apartment building is demolished in Southern Lebanon without major air strikes on the Beirut suburbs, is that acceptable to the Iranians? Since this approach has been going on in Gaza since the "cease fire" with the tacit approval of the "Board of Peace", one wonders where the Red line might be.
Alastair added a crucial point in this interview: the obsession with “permanent security” resulted from the furor surrounding Oct. 7. What was left out was the strong evidence that Israel —and Netanyahu specifically— intentionally let the attack happen, and stood down the response. The emotional response to the loss of overwhelming Israeli dominance was manipulated into fervor for genocide.
Dear Mr Crooke you are a real treasure for all of us.
Your knowledge and wisdom about the situation is so important for us to understand the reality. But most importantly is your generosity in the way you talk about Iranians and all the West Asia population, with the respect they deserve. I hope that some stupid people learn something from your generosity and knowledge.

The Israelis have sprayed glycophosphate on all the crops in southern Lebanon, I heard, so that the population has to either move, or starve.
