How the US Backed Khomeini, Then Armed Saddam | Scott Horton | UNAPOLOGETIC

The US backed Khomeini's return to power, then a year later greenlit Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran, the same country it had just warned Saddam might attack.

In this latest episode of UNAPOLOGETIC, radio host and presenter of The Scott Horton Show, Scott Horton, sat down with MEE's Ashfaaq Carim to discuss the history of the US and its impact in the region.

They also touched on Netanyahu's "new Middle East" doctrine and whether real US pressure could actually force him to fall in line.

UNAPOLOGETIC is hosted by Ashfaaq Carim.
