View from Iran: US Withdrawal From Afghanistan Reflects A Weakened Empire, w/ Mohammad Marandi

All eyes are on Afghanistan as the Taliban has rapidly taken over the entire country. Most coverage is focused on what this means for the US. But in reality, the West is removed and distant. Iran, on the other hand, is Afghanistan's neighbor and hosts about 2 million official or unofficial Afghan refugees and will likely absorb even more. Iran had a bad relationship with the Taliban in the 90s, which killed its diplomat. Iran now has to deal with this new reality on its border.
To discuss this as well as other developments in and around Iran, including sanctions, covid, nuclear deal negotiations and talks with Saudi Arabia, Rania Khalek was joined by Mohammad Marandi, professor of english literature and orientalism at the University of Tehran.

They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities - because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

@@stephencunningham6557 yeah but they didn't "provide homes, healthcare ,food and education" in Afghanistan. The entire 2 trillion dollars went directly inside of MIC's pocket and American contractors and business man were who benefited. They also benefited from opium production in Afghanistan.This invasion was also about global opium poppy production and American businesses profited over 2 trillion dollars from it. Now with new discovery of creating syntactic heroin in their own Pharmaceutical labs, corporation don’t need Afghanistan as much. Since United States military occupation of Afghanistan in 2001, followed by NATO occupation in 2003, opium production has increased exponentially. Areas under Taliban control had zero production in 2001 (Global Research, October 17, 2018). in 2001 there were only 8,000 hectares of poppy fields in the entire Afghanistan (non control by Talibans) and by 2017 it expanded to 328,000 hectares. in 2001 Afghanistan was accounted for 3% of the world's opium supply and by 2020 this number jump to 93%.

What a relief it is to see and hear an adult conversation about the issues in Afghanistan and the Iranian perspective!!!!!!!! Since the fall of the Shah in 1979 there has been little or no news allowed in the US that is in any way reasonable or rational. The Iranian government is treated as though it were a menacing enemy and rarely is there any reasonable consideration of the Iranian view, let alone the Iranian government view, of current developments in Iran, the middle east or anywhere. So thank you for being a responsible outlet that allows us to hear and see for ourselves an Iranian view that isn't pure negative propaganda. I do disagree with the Prof. in that the US is not weaker at all. It's simply reallocating assets. It is just as strong and just as menacing and just as capable of doing almost anything anywhere in the world. the US government did precisely what they intended to do: make a lot of money and maintain strategic control of Afghan territory for no good reason. They never intended to "win". They never intended to improve Afghanistan. It would be a very big mistake for any nation to misjudge the ongoing and sustainable power of the US in the coming decades. The imperialism of the US remains unchallenged, at least directly. As an American, I would love for our government to recognize that ongoing imperialism is not in our national interest, not to mention, the interests of other nations. But I doubt that will come to pass anytime soon.
