Vijay Prashad – Trump’s Ukraine U-Turn, Starvation in Gaza & the Iran–Israel War

In this episode of The Source, senior editor Zain Raza speaks with author and historian Vijay Prashad about some of the most urgent geopolitical crises of our time.

They begin in Gaza, where over 100 humanitarian organizations have warned of mass starvation amid Israel’s ongoing siege and military assault—raising critical questions about Germany’s role and continued support. The conversation then turns to Israel’s bombing of Syria, exploring the underlying motivations behind the strikes.

Attention shifts to Ukraine, where they examine U.S. President Donald Trump’s surprising U-turn—marked by renewed military aid and sanctions threats against Russia. Finally, they assess the recent U.S.–Israel war on Iran and whether it achieved its stated goal of halting Iran’s nuclear enrichment program
