Hey Folks,
Both shows had some excellent history, and were not always kind to the US government and its bungling of its relations with Iran since WW2. And the producers drew the conclusion that US land war with Iran not likely. US air strikes at Iran’s nuclear facilities, almost a certainty.
They also mentioned several counterattack possibilities the Iranians might undertake. Like more bombings in Europe and the US. But they never mentioned Iran turning off the oil spigot.
Also, the program documented that the US supplied Iraq the money for, and Israel sold Iraq the components for the Gas weapons he used against the Iranians during the Iran/Iraq war.
