Who knows Iran best?
In a recent interview, Tucker Carlson sat across from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, asking polite, unchallenging questions of a man who represents a regime that has issued a fatwa against a sitting US president and enshrined “Death to America” as a founding slogan. It was a stark contrast to Carlson’s often combative posture with American lawmakers – from mocking Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to his recent grilling of Senator Ted Cruz – as if democratically elected US officials were more of an adversary than the head of a theocracy with a long record of hostage-taking, terror sponsorship, nuclear brinkmanship and brutal repression at home. But Carlson’s posture is not an anomaly.
