Pepe Escobar, Nima Alkhorshid – What Washington Doesn’t Understand: The Iran Ground War Trap for the US

by Dialogue Works Highlights [3-30-2026] Pepe Escobar(bio), Nima Rostami Alkhorshid(bio).

This interview argues that a ground war with Iran would be disastrous, stressing Iran’s large, battle-ready forces, deep military experience, and strong public unity. It claims pressure and assassinations have only hardened decision-makers, while resistance movements across the region are regrouping and growing stronger. The discussion also portrays U.S. leadership as misinformed and easily manipulated, warning that attempts to escalate could backfire badly, reshape regional power, and weaken Washington’s position globally.
