Should Iran remain in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when it believes its security is under threat?

In this Press TV Spotlight discussion from Tehran, I join writer and podcaster Henry Hakamaki to debate Iran’s defence doctrine, nuclear sovereignty and the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT.

We examine Israel’s nuclear arsenal, the obligations of nuclear powers, Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy and whether strategic ambiguity could strengthen deterrence.

I also explain why I believe Iran must reconsider its defence strategy in response to military threats from the United States and Israel.

Is the NPT protecting Iran, or restricting its ability to defend itself?

In this special monologue from Tehran, I examine reports of Iranian strikes on US military installations, the targeting of early-warning radar systems, the pressures facing American naval forces and the changing balance of military power in the Persian Gulf.

I discuss Iran’s defensive strategy, the consequences of prolonged military deployments and why I believe Washington has seriously underestimated Iran’s capabilities and determination.

Could another confrontation expand far beyond the Persian Gulf?

These are my assessments of a conflict Iran never wanted and the risks of further escalation.

30:07 The Future of Palestinian Solidarity

Welcome to another episode of Uncle Hoz in Tehran.

In this episode, Uncle Hoz is joined by Sayed Mohsin Abbas, a broadcaster, political analyst and former BBC Radio reporter and Channel 4 producer. He hosts Deep Dive Perspective, where he examines geopolitics, Western foreign policy and resistance movements, with a particular focus on Palestine and West Asia.

Together, we discuss the massive Palestine solidarity demonstration in London on 10 October, the mood among activists, the growing debate around a One-State Solution, and whether the political landscape in Britain is beginning to shift.

Drawing on conversations he had with demonstrators, campaigners and prominent anti-war figures, Sayed Mohsin reflects on the enthusiasm he encountered for a Palestinian-led vision of the future. The discussion also examines the Labour Party’s position, the Green Party’s debate over Zionism, and whether demonstrations can translate into a sustained political movement.

From the limitations of protest politics to the role of the British establishment, media narratives and Western foreign policy, this is a wide-ranging conversation about Palestine, political solidarity and the future direction of activism.

IN THIS EPISODE

THE RALLY AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Sayed Mohsin describes the scale of the London demonstration, the atmosphere among attendees and the renewed energy he witnessed after months of campaigning for Palestine.

THE ONE-STATE SOLUTION

Why is the idea attracting renewed attention? We discuss conversations with demonstrators, the response to a one-state Palestine campaign, and the question of who should determine Palestine’s political future.

ED MILIBAND, ZIONISM AND BRITISH POLITICS

The conversation explores recent political developments, the Labour Party’s approach to Palestine, and the debate within the Green Party over Zionism and a one-state solution.

VOICES FROM THE MARCH

Sayed Mohsin shares reflections from interviews with ordinary demonstrators and prominent anti-war campaigners, including their views on solidarity, political strategy and the future of the movement.

CAN PROTEST BECOME A POLITICAL MOVEMENT?

Both speakers consider the limitations of demonstrations without a clear long-term objective, the importance of unity among solidarity groups, and the need to turn public engagement into sustained action.

PALESTINE, WEST ASIA AND BRITAIN’S FUTURE

The discussion widens to include Western foreign policy, regional conflicts, media narratives, political accountability and the argument that solidarity with Palestine is connected to wider questions of sovereignty and social justice.

This is a frank discussion about the future of the Palestine solidarity movement, the competing visions for a political settlement, and the challenge of turning public solidarity into lasting change.

40:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

For this episode, I’m joined by @DDGSarah, founder of @DD_Geopolitics, for a wide-ranging discussion of global unrest, political power, economic hardship, and the growing anger on the streets of Europe and the Americas.

Sarah is known for her political analysis and research, and she previously travelled to Iran as part of a group of journalists seeking to report on events there.

Together, we examine why protests are spreading across countries, the struggle over national sovereignty, the controversial Isaac Accords, and the increasingly dangerous trajectory of the conflict in Ukraine.

IN THIS EPISODE

GLOBAL UNREST AND THE PROTESTS IN EUROPE

We begin with the protests sweeping parts of Europe, including France, Italy and Belgium. Sarah discusses the economic despair, austerity and bleak prospects facing ordinary people, particularly younger generations. We also explore why protests can bring together different groups with different grievances, rather than rallying around a single cause.

ALBANIA: PROTESTS, LAND AND POLITICAL POWER

We turn to Albania, where demonstrations have raised questions about government corruption, economic opportunity and the proposed development of Sazan Island involving Jared Kushner. Sarah examines the competing political interests behind the protests and concerns about foreign influence, elite power, and Albania’s national sovereignty.

THE ISAAC ACCORDS AND LATIN AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY

What are the Isaac Accords, and what could they mean for Latin America? We discuss the agreements’ reported demands on diplomatic relations with Israel, embassy policy, United Nations votes, and intelligence sharing. Sarah outlines her concerns about foreign interference in the region and what it means for countries seeking to maintain an independent foreign policy.

RELIGION AND THE CHANGING POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

We examine how religion shapes political attitudes across South America, including the historic influence of Catholicism and liberation theology, and the growth of evangelical movements. Sarah argues that these changes may be influencing public opinion on Israel, Palestine and the wider political direction of the region.

VENEZUELA, COLOMBIA, ARGENTINA AND THE FIGHT FOR RESISTANCE

From economic hardship and austerity to disputes over land, elections and relations with Israel, we explore the pressures facing countries across Latin America. We also discuss public anger over Gaza and why many people see Palestinian rights as connected to wider questions of sovereignty, justice and resistance.

PROTESTS IN THE UNITED STATES

We turn to demonstrations in New York and Los Angeles and ask whether public protest can bring meaningful political change. Sarah reflects on political disillusionment, government accountability and the importance of recognising the grievances that bring people onto the streets.

UKRAINE, RUSSIA AND EUROPE’S FUTURE

Finally, we examine the escalating Russia–Ukraine conflict, European involvement, attacks on energy infrastructure and the risks of further confrontation.

We also discuss deindustrialisation, energy insecurity, defence spending and whether Europe’s economic difficulties could deepen the unrest already visible across the continent.

This is a conversation about a world under pressure: populations demanding answers, governments facing growing distrust, and nations caught between domestic hardship and international power struggles.

We discuss these issues from our own perspectives, examining the arguments, claims and consequences shaping today’s political landscape.

06:58 The Complicity of Gulf States in Regional Conflicts
15:36 The Future of Gulf States and American Influence
22:44 Iran’s Strategic Position and Global Impact
39:44 The Consequences of Gulf States’ Actions

For the third episode of Uncle Hoz in Tehran, I’m joined by Sulaiman Ahmed, the journalist and geopolitical commentator behind Moral Resistance, who has built a substantial audience through his coverage of Palestine, Iran and the wider Middle East.

Sulaiman and I discuss the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the role of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states in regional conflicts, the Abraham Accords, and the consequences of aligning with American and Israeli strategic interests. We also examine Iran’s position in the region and what the current conflict could mean for the future balance of power.

IN THIS EPISODE

THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND SAUDI ARABIA

We begin by examining the Abraham Accords and the prospect of Saudi Arabia normalising relations with Israel. Sulaiman explains why he believes Saudi-Israeli ties were already well established behind the scenes, and discusses the concern that normalisation could sideline Palestinian rights and aspirations.

THE ROLE OF GULF STATES IN REGIONAL CONFLICTS

We look at Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, exploring their relationships with Washington and Tel Aviv and their roles in the region. The conversation considers allegations of political and military cooperation, the question of Palestinian solidarity, and the consequences of Gulf governments’ regional decisions.

AMERICAN MILITARY PRESENCE AND THE FUTURE OF THE GULF

How secure are Gulf states when their defence strategies depend heavily on American military power? We discuss the US bases and military infrastructure across the region, the vulnerabilities exposed by conflict, and whether Gulf governments can continue relying on Washington to protect their interests.

IS PAX AMERICANA IN DECLINE?

Sulaiman argues that the era of unquestioned American dominance in the Middle East is coming to an end. We explore what that could mean for regional alliances, economic stability and the future of countries that have tied their security and prosperity to US influence.

IRAN’S STRATEGIC POSITION AND THE FUTURE OF WEST ASIA

We turn to Iran’s military capabilities, regional influence and potential role in reshaping the geopolitical order. Sulaiman shares his assessment of the conflict’s possible outcomes and why he believes its consequences will extend far beyond Iran and Israel, affecting the entire region and the wider world.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF GULF STATES’ DECISIONS

In the final section, we consider the economic and political costs of the conflict, the pressure on Gulf economies and the long-term implications of their alliances. We ask whether the region is approaching a historic turning point—and what these developments could mean for Palestine, sovereignty and the balance of power in the Middle East.

This is a frank conversation about power, resistance, regional alliances and the future of the Middle East. We challenge prevailing assumptions and discuss the competing perspectives shaping one of the world’s most consequential geopolitical struggles.

39:57 Closing Remarks and Future Conversations

For the second episode of Uncle Hoz in Tehran, I sit down with Lubna Speitan, the British-Palestinian activist who authored the Zionism Is Racism motion adopted by the Green Party of England and Wales at its conference in Brighton on 4 October 2026.

The motion passed with 1,022 votes in favour and 813 against, marking a significant moment in the party’s debate over Palestine, Zionism and the future of the region. Read the coverage by The Guardian.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Lubna takes us through the campaign behind the motion, the obstacles she and her fellow activists encountered, and why she believes Palestinians must be able to speak for themselves in the struggle for their rights and liberation.

IN THIS EPISODE

LUBNA SPEITAN AND HER ACHIEVEMENT IN THE GREEN PARTY

Lubna explains how she became involved in the Green Party, her search for a political home that would properly represent her views on Palestine, and what led her to draft the motion that would become official party policy. We discuss the significance of this achievement and what it could mean for Palestinians and their supporters seeking a political voice in Britain.

THE MOTION: ZIONISM IS RACISM

We examine the substance of the motion, including its call for a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all, the right of return for Palestinians and their descendants, Palestinian self-determination, accountability and reparations. Lubna explains why she believes the motion challenges the longstanding denial of Palestinian political rights and why she argues that anti-Zionism must not automatically be conflated with antisemitism.

THE CHALLENGES AND PRESSURE BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN

Lubna describes the difficulties surrounding the campaign, including attempts to delay the motion, disputes at conference, allegations and accusations directed at supporters, and the wider political pressure surrounding the debate. We discuss the responsibilities of party leadership, the role of grassroots members and the importance of standing by one’s principles when facing opposition.

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND THE STRUGGLE FOR PALESTINE

We turn to the role of the British press in shaping public opinion. Lubna discusses her experiences of media scrutiny and what she sees as a pattern of portraying Palestinian activists through allegations and associations rather than engaging with their arguments. We explore the consequences of this coverage for political debate, public understanding and the wider movement for Palestinian rights.

THE DEHUMANISATION OF PALESTINIANS

One of the most powerful parts of our conversation concerns the treatment of Palestinian lives in political discourse and media coverage. Lubna discusses what she sees as the double standards applied to different populations, the human cost of the destruction in Gaza, and the importance of confronting racism, discrimination and the denial of Palestinian humanity.

ZIONISM, JUDAISM AND THE QUESTION OF EQUALITY

We examine the distinction between Zionism and Judaism, the diversity of Jewish opinion on Israel and Palestine, and the argument that criticism of a political ideology should not be treated as hostility towards an entire religious community. Lubna explains why she believes confronting the conflation of Zionism and Judaism is essential both to Palestinian liberation and to protecting the right of Jewish people to hold diverse political views.

THE FUTURE OF PALESTINE AND MARWAN BARGHOUTI

We discuss the future of Palestine, the limitations of the two-state solution as Lubna sees them, and the case for a single democratic state founded on equality, justice and accountability. Our conversation also turns to Marwan Barghouti, his importance to Palestinian politics, and why Lubna believes the struggle for Palestinian freedom cannot be separated from the demand for the release of Palestinian political prisoners.

A DUTY TO SPEAK AND A MOVEMENT THAT WILL NOT BE SILENCED

In closing, we reflect on the personal responsibility of political activists, the importance of international solidarity and the need to ensure that Palestinian voices are heard. Lubna explains why she refuses to be intimidated into silence and why she believes the campaign for justice must continue beyond the walls of any political party.

This is a conversation about Palestine, political courage, media accountability, human rights and the struggle to build a future founded on justice and equality.

Lubna’s campaign has brought the question of Zionism and Palestinian rights directly into the heart of British political debate. Whatever your views, this is an important discussion about the direction of British politics and the future of Palestine.

For my debut episode, I sit down with @georgegalloway, leader of the @WorkersPartyGB Party of Britain, broadcaster, and the man I proudly call my political governor.

George’s political example helped inspire me to enter British politics. In this wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation, we examine some of the most consequential questions facing Britain and Palestine today.

IN THIS EPISODE

ROCHDALE AND BRITISH DEMOCRACY

I was the national election coordinator for the Workers Party of Britain during the 2024 general election. George and I revisit the circumstances surrounding his defeat in Rochdale, including the late arrival of two ballot boxes, concerns raised at the time, and the dossier submitted to Greater Manchester Police. We discuss why we believe these questions deserve proper scrutiny.

THE BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT AND POLITICAL SOVEREIGNTY

We examine the state of British politics, the influence of lobbying, the relationship between Westminster and Israel, and the wider question of whose interests our political representatives serve.

PALESTINE: BEYOND THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION

George explains why he and the Workers Party of Britain support a single democratic state in historic Palestine, drawing comparisons with the end of apartheid in South Africa. We discuss Palestinian rights, refugees, equality, and the region’s future.

MARWAN BARGHOUTI: A LEADER FOR THE FUTURE?

We discuss the significance of the imprisoned Palestinian political leader, his broad appeal across Palestinian political currents, and the case for his release.

This is a conversation about political conviction, accountability, democracy, and the courage to challenge powerful interests.

George has spent decades speaking about Palestine, often long before it commanded the attention it receives today. Whatever your political views, this discussion raises questions that deserve serious engagement.

I’ve had enough of selective outrage.

The latest escalation involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen has once again brought civilian casualties and regional security into the headlines. Any loss of civilian life is a tragedy, and I have no desire to see ordinary people suffer.

But there is a question I want people to answer honestly.

Where was this same level of concern when Yemen was enduring years of conflict, bombardment, hunger and the destruction of essential infrastructure?

According to the UN Yemen Country Team’s 2021 annual report, the conflict had caused more than 377,000 deaths by the end of 2021, including both direct and indirect deaths. Millions of Yemenis needed humanitarian assistance, and the country’s essential services had been devastated.

Those figures are not an excuse to dismiss the deaths of civilians in Saudi Arabia. They are a reminder that Yemen’s suffering must not be forgotten whenever the political focus shifts elsewhere.

Civilian lives cannot matter only when it suits us

My argument is not that one civilian’s death matters less than another’s. It is that the same principles must apply to everyone.

If we condemn attacks that kill civilians in Saudi Arabia, we must also be willing to examine the record of the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen and the humanitarian consequences of that conflict.

We cannot demand that people look at one tragedy while refusing to look at another.

Nor should criticism of a government be confused with hostility towards its people. Ordinary Yemenis and ordinary Saudis deserve security, dignity and a future without war.

What does Muslim solidarity actually mean?

I also want to ask a difficult question about the language of Muslim solidarity.

When people invoke the suffering of Muslims, that concern should extend to Yemenis as well as Palestinians and Saudis. It should not become a political slogan that is applied to one group and withheld from another.

The war in Gaza has made questions about regional alliances, trade routes and the policies of Middle Eastern governments even more important. Those policies deserve serious scrutiny, including the extent to which they have helped or hindered efforts to support Palestinians.

My criticism of Saudi and Emirati leadership is rooted in those political questions. The evidence for specific allegations must be examined carefully, but no government should be exempt from accountability.

The way forward

The people of Yemen have endured far too much. They need humanitarian assistance, protection for civilians and a political settlement that offers a durable end to the conflict.

Escalation will not make ordinary Yemenis safer. Nor will selective outrage bring justice to the victims of this war.

I want the suffering of Yemen to be recognised, the record of those responsible to be examined, and the same principles of humanity to be applied across the region.

If we believe civilian lives matter, then they must all matter.

That is the argument I make in this video. Watch it, consider the evidence, and tell me where you disagree.

23:51 Conclusion: A Call for Unity and Integrity

Pakistan, Imran Khan and the Politics of Betrayal

When governments make choices that conflict with their people's convictions, we have to ask who they are really serving.

I’ve wanted to speak about Pakistan for some time. Many Pakistani friends have asked me to address Imran Khan, and I felt it was important to explain my perspective on what is happening across Pakistan, Iran, and Yemen.

In this discussion, I look at the relationship between Pakistan’s military establishment and Saudi Arabia, the implications for Yemen, and what I see as a profound failure of political integrity towards Iran.

I also explain why I admire Imran Khan and his stated ambition for Pakistan to pursue peace and better relations with its neighbours, rather than becoming entangled in conflicts serving other powers.

One point matters enormously to me: criticising Pakistan’s leadership is not the same as criticising the Pakistani people.

I have tremendous respect for the people of Pakistan and for their solidarity with Palestine. My concern is that the decisions made by those in power may take the country in a direction that many ordinary Pakistanis do not want.

Yemen raises an especially difficult question. What does solidarity with Palestine mean if those who have stood up for Palestinians are subsequently left isolated or attacked?

And what happens to trust between nations when diplomatic assurances are given and, as I argue in this discussion, broken?

These are questions of sovereignty, political accountability, and the principles that should guide relations between nations.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. I do believe these issues deserve an honest conversation.

Watch the full discussion below, and let me know where you stand.

Iran did not break. It stood up.

This is about sovereignty, resistance, and a nation refusing to submit.
