From RUSSIA- On his program called Going Underground Afshin Rattansi spoke with three guests about the American targeted assassination of Iranian General Souleimani. First he speaks with former Israeli ambassador to the US Danny Ayalon about nuclear deterrence, why the US would choose to murder an ally in the elimination of ISIS, and Putin's relationship with Israel. Next is Iraqi MP Saad Al-Muttalibi, who talks about Iraqi rage over the US assassination of Deputy Chief Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis who was murdered with Souleimani. The US has not apologized for what they see as collateral damage. Saad also explains that the purpose of Souleimani's visit was to present a peace proposal to the Iraqi PM from Saudi Arabia. Then Afshin speaks with Geoffrey Robertson QC who discusses Donald Trump's threat to target Iranian cultural sites, for which he calls the US president a barbarian, and suggests that US generals will likely disobey the order to avoid being prosecuted for war crimes.
From SPAIN-A Cuban newspaper criticized the US government for ongoing attempts to destabilize the country through alleged pro-democracy programs. Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guiado has been accused of a PR stunt to enter the Parliament that has rejected him. The Arab League rejects foreign interference in Libya. Washington refused to issue a visa to the Iranian Foreign Minister to prevent him from speaking at the UN.
