Paradoxical Putin condemns US strikes as Russian bombs fall on Ukraine: Marwan Bishara
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara dissected the US-Iran escalations post-US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, speaking after Russia condemned Washington’s actions at an emergency UNSC meeting. He noted Moscow’s paradoxical position – invading Ukraine while positioning itself as mediator – suggesting it could counterbalance US influence over Israel if Tehran consented. Bishara dismissed Trump’s "regime change" rhetoric as attention-seeking theatrics, highlighting erratic decision-making that bypassed formal security processes. Bishara revealed Netanyahu’s unprecedented reliance on US presidents, yet noted neither Trump nor Biden leveraged this to restrain Israel’s actions. Contextualising the strikes, he criticised America’s eight military interventions in Muslim nations over 15 years, framing the Iran attack as part of this pattern. While acknowledging Trump’s capacity to control Netanyahu, Bishara argued Israeli narratives consistently override US intelligence assessments.
