Iran's former Foreign Minister and current parliament member Manouchehr Mottaki sits down with Mnar Adley on the MintCast podcast to expose the full scale of the US-Israeli war on Iran — from the deception behind "negotiations" to the bombing of an elementary school that killed 168 children, the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, and Iran's destruction of 17 US military bases in three days.

Mottaki reveals:
- How the US used five rounds of Oman-mediated negotiations as a "deceptive scheme" before launching unprovoked attacks
- The American airstrike on an elementary school in Minab — 168 students killed, pilot returned to drop a second bomb
- The assassination of Iran's Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and why Trump and Netanyahu must face qisas (Islamic justice)
- Iran's missile cities and military capabilities far beyond what US intelligence claims was destroyed
- The UAE's betrayal — hosting CIA/Mossad spy training centers and facilitating Zionist infiltration of the region
- US-orchestrated kidnapping of Iranian athletes in Australia ahead of the FIFA World Cup
- Why Iran warns: if the war continues, it will expand beyond the region

Guest: Manouchehr Mottaki — Former Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs (2005-2010), current member of Iranian parliament. Interview conducted in Farsi with English subtitles.

Abby Martin joins MintPress News founder Mnar Adley for a sweeping conversation
about the dystopian merger of AI, the U.S. war machine, and the Israeli military.

From her groundbreaking new film "Cuba After Castro" — featuring the first
sit-down interview with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel by an American
journalist — to the explosive growth of AI data centers being built in American
communities, Abby breaks down how tech billionaires have folded into the Trump
administration and are openly profiting off genocide, surveillance, and war.

They discuss:
- Trump's escalating sanctions on Cuba and the push for regime change
- How AI is being weaponized in the Gaza genocide and U.S. strikes on Iran
- Jared Kushner & Miriam Adelson's grip on U.S. foreign policy
- The Thomas Massie primary and the death of American democracy
- Iran's strategic closure of the Strait of Hormuz
- Why independent media is more critical now than ever before

Abby also shares an inspiring call to action: "It just takes 5%. That's all
we need. And when we do, it's a wave that's going to be unstoppable."

Mnar Adley interviews Dr. Mohammad Marandi on the US-Iran conflict, assassination threats, and the UAE's secret role.

From Trump’s threats to "annihilate Iranian civilization" to sudden calls for negotiations, the geopolitical landscape is shifting rapidly. But behind closed doors and in hawkish op-eds, a darker strategy is emerging: explicit calls to assassinate Iranian officials who dare to negotiate. In this episode, we go behind the headlines with Dr. Marandi to break down what really happened in Pakistan, why JD Vance was rejected, and how the UAE is secretly fueling the war against Iran despite publicly claiming neutrality.
