Israel's Attack on Iran: Western Imperialism, and the Future of West Asia | Prof. A.K. Ramakrishnan

In this episode, we speak with Professor A.K. Ramakrishnan, Nelson Mandela Chair at Mahatma Gandhi University and former Chair of the Centre for West Asian Studies at JNU. He breaks down the politics behind Israel’s recent attack on Iran, examining how nuclear double standards, U.S. militarism, and racialised global hierarchies shape who is seen as a threat and who is allowed to use force.

We discuss:

Why Iran is framed as a nuclear threat despite no clear evidence
How Israel’s military strategy is rooted in its settler colonial history
The impact of U.S. military bases and regime change policies in the region
Iran’s role as a resilient, independent force in a shifting, multipolar West Asia

This conversation moves beyond headlines, offering context, clarity, and critical insight into one of the most pressing geopolitical confrontations today.
