Marwa Osman

MideaStream | An update on the situations in Yemen and Bahrain.

Welcome to MintCast — an interview series featuring dissenting voices the establishment would rather silence– I’m your host Mnar Muhawesh Adley.

During EP #300 of the SUNDAY WIRE show this past weekend, host Patrick Henningsen spoke to special guest, Middle East-based journalist and academic, Dr. Marwa Osman, for a breaking update on simmering protests in Lebanon.
With the country now at an apparent crossroads, some are concerned that the risk of a civil war type situation may emerge should tensions escalate. Where will they go from here? Listen:

Lebanon is facing a major challenge this week. How it fares depends on a multitude of factors and forces, all pushing up against each other at once – anyone of which could help make or break the country’s near-term future.

On this week’s SUNDAY WIRE show, we go to Beirut to talk with geopolitical and Middle East regional analyst Marwa Osman to discuss the current standoff between the United States and Iran over recent events in and around the Persian Gulf.
We ask the questions: Are US politicians well-informed enough to make an intelligent decision on what to do in the Middle East? What would likely happen if the US strikes Iran militarily? Which series of events would unfold and why? Listen:
