The U.S. and Israel have attacked Iran and killing some of the Islamic Republic's top leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has responded with attacks on Israel, U.S. bases in the Gulf Region, oil infrastructure and by closing the Strait of Hormuz. There is a long history of Iranian and U.S. relations and this war is another part of it. In our latest, we talk with Prof. Afshin Matin-Asgari, author the new book "Axis of Empire: A History of Iran–US Relations," about the current conflict and the relationship over the past 76 years including the overthrow of Mossadegh, the Shah's brutal regime, the Islamic Revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, Iranian adventures in the Gulf, the Obama nuclear deal and the conflict between Trump and Iran's leaders.

Russia invade Ukraine four years ago and has resulted in a bloody conflict that has bled both countries and scrambled global politics. Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 on a platform of ending America's "forever wars" and in 2024, he and J.D. Vance said they were the "most pro-peace" campaign in history. We now know neither of those things are true as Trump attacked the Islamic Republic with Israel sparking a quickly escalating war that will last many years. In our latest, we talk about the recent history of forever wars and how Ukraine and Iran are the latest in these never ending conflicts. -------------------------🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody🔗 Links🌐 G&R: Deep Background on Ukraine and Russia (https://bit.ly/4bwEyxx)🌐 G&R: Trump’s Aggression Against Iran Continues, w/ Professor Eskandar Sadeghi (https://bit.ly/4tW5he0)🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/uuP6yVQr📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.

Mondelēz International — the food giant behind Oreos, Cadbury, and Toblerone — has spent years cultivating an image as a sustainability leader, earning high environmental scores and pledging to eliminate deforestation and human rights abuses from its supply chains.

After 9/11, the radical environmental movement was considered the number one domestic terror threat by the U.S. government. But by the end of the decade the movement had largely gone silent. What happened? And given the threat from climate, why haven't more radical tactics re-emerged?In our latest, we talk with Thomas Zeitzoff (zeitzoff.bsky.social) about his latest book "No Option But Sabotage", the radical environmental movement, state repression and resistance to the climate crisis.

Donald Trump's long-time aggression against Iran--abrogating the nuclear treaty, assassination officials, ramping up sanctions, and last June's prolonged attacks--is ramping up. So I talked to our good friend and one of the best-respected scholars of the region--Eskandar Sadeghi of the University of St. Andrews--about the current crisis . . . the ongoing brutal impact of sanctions--the inflation, shortages, damage to infrastructure; the harsh repression of the Iranian government; the regional context, especially Israel's aggression; and of course the U.S. threats to attack Iran again.For more information about Eskandar Sadeghi, see his faculty page at: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/international-relations/people/es404/ -------------------------------------------------🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/QYh9SGRd📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreen...💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: / greenredpodcast ☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodca...📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they’ve sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd’s and Sandra Bland’s, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. Professor Terence Keel's new book, "The Coroner’s Silence" reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. ​In our latest, we talk with Prof. Keel about the complicity and silence of coroners in the police and in-custody deaths. Bio//Dr. Terence Keel (@TerenceKeel) a professor of human biology, society and African American studies at UCLA.
