In an exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect, Kazem Jalali, Iranian ambassador to Russia, condemns America’s destabilizing impact on the international community and aggressive acts against sovereign nations – even without the age-old pretexts of ‘restoring democracy’ or ‘liberation’. He also assures that the Islamic Republic has no intention of attacking its neighbors unless they allow their territories to be used to strike Iran. The ambassador endorses the Houthis’ growing effort to push foreign influence out of Yemen – and advises Saudi Arabia to leave the country alone and choose cooperation instead.

Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
