The “Chaotic U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan and the reposturing of the U.S. policy towards Iran – What’s the deal?” – KGNU, Hemispheres, Middle East Dialogues. October 26, 2021

John Kerry and Jawad Zarif at the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015. Will the USA return to the agreement and respect all of its clauses? Or is the agreement in a state of cryonic suspension, close to dead in the water, being held a float until the Biden Administration can safely discard it?

The following audio is a taped discussion on KGNU – Boulder Colorado – Hemispheres – Middle East Dialogues hosted by Jim Nelson, featuring Ibrahim Kazerooni and Rob Prince, a monthly program now in its eleventh year.

Was the August, 2021 U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan as unplanned and chaotic at it appears?… Or was there some other underlying plan that was hatched beforehand and implemented theee past months. Kazerooni and Prince try to deconstruct mainstream narratives and hypothesis was is actually going on. In the end, they conclude, that from the broader geo-political view point, U.S. strategy in Central Asia – increased subversion in Central Asia and China’s Xinjiang Province continue as do U.S. plans for regime change in Iran… only the details to work out these plans have changed. There are a number of suggestions that, as off the wall as it might sound, that Washington hopes to include the Taliban in these plans.
