"IRAN IS A BUFFER!" Iran isn’t just a rival to Saudi Arabia — it’s a buffer between Israel and the Gulf. That reality shapes every regional decision. Trita Parsi

Congratulations! You invited a regime lobbyist on your podcast. A very well-known one who was exposed on Iran's State Media and his connections to the Islamic regime was exposed during a court discovery. So yeah, you fucked up big time with your choice of guest. Tell us who told you to invite him?

@tparsi Trita is a lobbyist for the Islamic Republic. Even the regime people say it themselves.

Trita Parsi claims Iran acts as a "buffer" protecting Gulf states from Israeli hegemony. Flaws: - Iran isn't passive—it's the aggressor via proxies, missiles & attacks on Saudi/UAE. - Gulf states (Saudi, UAE) openly ally with Israel against Iran, not to preserve it. - Geography doesn't make Iran a real buffer between Israel & the Gulf. There are many other countries in between and sea. It's regime-friendly spin, not geopolitics. Iranians gave their blood for freedom, they will be allies of the west and make “Silicon Valley of Middle East” #Iran #Israel #MiddleEast

“Iran is a buffer”? Reducing a civilization of 85 million people to a geopolitical shock absorber between other states is exactly the problem. That language treats Iranians as objects, not agents — territory, not a nation. While people inside Iran are jailed and killed demanding freedom, calling the country a “buffer” normalizes the regime’s grip by centering foreign power games instead of domestic repression. Iran is not a cushion. It is a hostage state. And its people are not pieces on a regional chessboard. Shame on you for inviting this putrid accomplice to genocide of Iranians. Make no mistake, He will be sued by the 50000 plus family members who were slaughtered, raped, tortured in a transitional justice court for aiding and abetting to prop up the genocidal regime for years, once Iran is free. You should be ashamed for inviting this monster.

Only someone morally bankrupt reduces a civilization of 85 million human beings into a geopolitical shock absorber. While Iranians are being tortured, raped, imprisoned, and executed for demanding freedom, you sanitize the regime’s crimes with academic buzzwords. That’s not analysis. That’s complicity. SHAME ON YOU

@tparsi Calling the Islamic Republic a “buffer” is misleading. It is not neutral space but a revisionist regime with regional ambitions, proxy militias, and missiles. Tehran is not simply between Israel and the Gulf; it actively disrupts the regional balance.#Iran

@tparsi Julian, big fan. This guy is a known lobbyist for the mullahs. Need to do more research when it comes to certain topics as we can be easily led at a time of high propaganda by the mullahs and the Qataris

@tparsi He is right. Without the Islamic Republic these « US allies » will become useless to Israel and it will eat them in the same way it is eating the Palestinians.

@tparsi The status quo cannot and will not continue anyway. Moreover, country of Iran has been there before the Arab countries and Israel and it has been a source of stability under the Shah. The same can happen again with Reza Pahlavi.

@tparsi He can't even say the name of the Gulf because his sponsors who are trying so desperately to keep the regime in power won't allow it.
