Most Americans don’t realize *just* how embedded the U.S. has become in the Mideast rivalry against Iran, regional expert @vali_nasr tells @mehdirhasan: “We don't see ourselves as being a party to this, but we are. We are the army of Saudi Arabia.”

The question remains where US policy for the Middle East is being set and whose interests it serves. Is it being set in Washington or is it really being set in Riyadh and Jerusalem. And whose interest does it serve, the United States or Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Ridiculous accusation considering Iran also embeds themselves into the ME. Saudi and most of the people in ME see Hezbollah, Iraq PMU and Houthis as part of the IRGC. Iran just hates the US because the US opposes its presence in the region and Iran has no real way to fight the US
