The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 3692 - Iran War Spirals After Trump Tanks Diplomacy w/ Trita Parsi · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

But many of these bridges are actually seasonal in the sense that the riverbanks under them are dry for most of the year, except for a couple of moments a year because of flooding.

So it's not as if it's really impacting things as tremendously as I think perhaps the Trump administration thought.

And now we also have revelation that the intelligence community has been saying to the administration that this is not gonna change Iran's position.

um in the negotiations what is really baffling to me is that 10 days have passed and we've seen absolutely nothing from the administration that suggests that they had some sort of a plan of what the war was going to be now there's a lot of buzz that there may be a major escalation this week and perhaps we will see then whatever that plan is but i would still suspect that it's not going to make that much of a difference if anything it's going to harden the iranian position it's going to make it even more difficult

to get back to the negotiating table.

And then once at the negotiating table, it's going to be even more difficult to actually get to a deal.

Absolutely.

And reality is also that the Iranians are far less dependent on their desalination plants than what the GCC states are.

They have no other water resources.

Iran has rivers and other sources.

Now, many of them are very upset at Iran, of course, because at the end of the day, they say that their territory is not being used by the United States.

We're seeing increasingly evidence that it is.

We're seeing HIMARS being shot from Kuwaiti territory, filmed by American soldiers themselves and put on the internet.

We've had analysis by international networks, France 24, for instance.

I showed already in the first war, there was a lot of attacks coming from Kuwaiti territory.

The Kuwaitis completely deny that.

But at the same time, we're also seeing another trend.

Whether these countries want the U.S.

to leave or not, the U.S.
