‘Israel
has become radioactive. I think Iran has started behaving the same way.
Choosing to be a bully never works’ – Alanoud Al Thani, Qatari
political analyst and researcher.
In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ Rick talks to Alanoud Al Thani, a Qatari political analyst and nonresident fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs.
She
explains Israel’s destructive role in the region as it attacks local
nations such as Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinian Authority, and even
Qatar. Al Thani says that Israel’s behavior is getting out of control,
even for its allies. At the same time, she condemns Iranian attacks on
the Gulf States, saying that US and Israeli aggression do not justify
Tehran’s actions.
In this episode, Al Thani discusses whether
American bases in the region pose a threat to Iran, as well as a looming
oil crisis if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened.
