It really is an interesting time right now,

More than ever, it feels like Iran is in the news.

I would like to start this off with is...

-through the prism of America. -Absolutely.

and it's how Americans see the Middle East.

what's happening in the Middle East right now?

at the moment-- "War in the Middle East: It's Persianal."

If you live in Beirut, if you live in Baghdad,

It involves, uh, uprisings, it involves protests.

It involves the killing of Qasem Soleimani, of course...

-Mm-hmm. -...the head of Iranian Quds Force,

Um, that strike was, uh, ordered by President Trump.

But if you look at it from the Middle Eastern side,

who are afraid of Iran's regional, um... ambitions

that act in countries like Iraq and Lebanon and Syria,

uh, the assassination of Qasem Soleimani was a welcome thing,

So there's a debate, a political debate here

about whether what Trump does is good or bad for the country.

-Yes. -And the Democrats are very critical of him.

It is interesting because, in the region,

one thing that I think a lot of people don't realize is

Because even within Iran, there were people

who were mourning the death of Soleimani.

And then, there were those who were completely against

I mean, when the... when the plane was shot down

with the passengers, you know, that was a big uprising

This book, though, is really interesting, because...

if I may be so bold to say, in a simple way.

You know, where you talk about why Saudi Arabia and Iran

began this proxy war and this-this cold war

What do you think is the inciting incident?

1979. That is the turning point in the Middle East,

that is the year when Iran had a revolution

And I don't mind that you call it "simple,"

because this book is really not just for experts,

it is for anyone who wants to understand more

about the Middle East and wants to go beyond the headlines

This is 40 years of history, seven countries,

and 15 incredible people, whose lives are upended

People like you and me, who've had difficult pasts,

And when you tell their stories, you can really get to the heart

of the geopolitics, and you can explain the bigger picture

And the key of the book is to try to explain

why the Saudi-Iran rivalry is so enduring,

-Mm-hmm. -and why it is of huge consequence

to the world's security and America's security.

especially under Trump, there's no denying that,

in many ways, it feels like Saudi really has a hold

You know, he loves to work with them-slash-for them...

That's what people are wondering, about Kushner

and the WhatsApps after what happened to Jeff Bezos.

you have a ruler who is lauded on one end as being, you know,

Reformer. The person who's changing the way things are

and we're trying to just, you know, modernize the country.
