Was the Iran war to establish Israel's control over the Middle East?
Direct US involvement in Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran was a dangerous decision, argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East history at Johns Hopkins University.
Hours before a ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran was announced, Nasr told host Steve Clemons that 'the US doesn't have a regime change option in Iran' and should be wary of humiliating Tehran, which would lead to long-term consequences.
Nasr argues that the 12-Day War was meant to establish Israel's dominance as the premier Middle East power, backed by Washington, with no room for challengers.

At least 71 die in bus crash involving Afghans deported from Iran
At least 71 people, including 17 children, have been killed in western Afghanistan after a passenger bus carrying refugees, recently deported from neighbouring Iran, caught fire after colliding with a truck and motorcycle, according to provincial government spokesman Ahmadullah Muttaqi and local police. Police in Herat province said on Tuesday that the accident was due to the bus's 'excessive speed and negligence'. The returnees are part of a massive wave of Afghans deported or forced out of Iran in recent months. The accident took place a day after Iranian Minister of Interior Eskandar Momeni announced that a further 800,000 people would have to leave the country by next March. The bus was carrying Afghans recently returned from Iran and en route to the capital Kabul, provincial official Mohammad Yousuf Saeedi told the AFP news agency on Tuesday. He added that all the passengers boarded the vehicle in Islam Qala, a border crossing point. Taliban government chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed to the dpa news agency that the victims had been deported from Iran, but said that further details were not available immediately. Police in the Guzara district outside Afghanistan's city of Herat, where the accident occurred, said a motorcycle was also involved. The majority of those who died were on the bus, but two people travelling in the truck were also killed, as well as another two who were on the motorcycle. Traffic accidents are common in Afghanistan, due in part to poor roads after decades of war, dangerous driving on highways and a lack of regulation. Last December, two bus accidents, involving a fuel tanker and a truck on a highway through central Afghanistan, killed at least 52 people. Every year, conflict, persecution, poverty and high unemployment drive large numbers of Afghans to cross the 300km (186-mile) Islam Qala border into Iran without documentation. Many work in low-wage jobs in big cities, including on construction sites, where they are valued as cheap and reliable labour. Nearly 450,000 Afghans have returned from Iran since early June, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), after Tehran imposed a July 6 deadline for undocumented refugees to leave the country. The surge compounds Afghanistan's existing challenges, as the impoverished nation, back under hardline Taliban rule since 2021, struggles to integrate waves of returnees from Pakistan and Iran since 2023, amid one of the world's worst humanitarian crises after decades of conflict. The UNHCR reports that more than 1.4 million people have 'returned or been forced to return to Afghanistan' this year alone. Iran's late May directive potentially affects 4 million undocumented Afghans among the approximately 6 million Afghan residents claimed by Tehran. Border crossings increased dramatically from mid-June, with some days seeing approximately 40,000 people entering Afghanistan. Between June 1 and July 5, 449,218 Afghans returned from Iran, bringing the 2024 total to 906,326, according to an International Organization for Migration spokesman.

Armenia reassures visiting Iran leader it will control Azerbaijan corridor
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that a planned corridor linking Azerbaijan with its exclave would be under Armenian control, days after Iran said it would block the project included in a United States-brokered peace accord that puts a potential Washington presence on its doorstep. 'Roads passing through Armenia will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of Armenia, and security will be provided by Armenia, not by any third country,' Pashinyan said at a meeting with Pezeshkian in the Armenian capital Yerevan on Tuesday. He added that the corridor would open new economic perspectives between the two countries, and could offer a rail route from Iran to the Black Sea coast through Armenia. The land corridor, dubbed the 'Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity' (TRIPP), is part of a deal signed this month in Washington between former foes Armenia and Azerbaijan. Under the agreement, the US will hold development rights for the proposed route, which would connect Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave bordering Iran and Turkey. 'Governance in the Caucasus region must remain Caucasian – outsourcing the resolution of Caucasus issues to extra-regional forces will complicate it,' Pezeshkian said during his visit on Tuesday. 'Iran's position has always been to reject any changes to international borders in the Caucasus region.' Iran has long opposed the planned transit route, also known as the Zangezur corridor, fearing it would cut the country off from Armenia and the rest of the Caucasus while bringing potentially hostile foreign forces close to its borders. Since the deal was signed on August 8, Iranian officials have stepped up warnings to Armenia, saying the project could be part of a US ploy 'to pursue hegemonic goals in the Caucasus region'. The proposed corridor has been hailed as beneficial by other countries in the region, including Russia, with which Iran has a strategic alliance alongside Armenia. Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a series of wars since the late 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh, a region in Azerbaijan that had a mostly ethnic Armenian population at the time, broke away from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia. Azerbaijan Baku took control of the territory in a military operation in 2023, leading to an exodus of the ethnic Armenian population. Armenia last year agreed to return several villages to Azerbaijan in what Baku described as a 'long-awaited historic event'.
