Yes the late great Nader Talebzadeh, Yes Sireeeee. Last I saw Nader was in 2019 at the New Horizon Conference in Beirut where he seemed quite at home with his Lebanese wife whose her parents lived in the capital. Dugin was there. Pepe was there. We journeyed to the south where most people identified strongly with Hezbollah. It was nice to be with the Iranians in one of their strongholds on the Mediterranean. The more I got to know Nader the more I got to appreciate how he lived and strategized near the pinnacle of global geopolitics. When I think back to Walter Cronkite, the famous CBS journalist, I envisage Nader as Iran's Walter Cronkite. Everyone in Iran knew him from his famous Iranian public affairs show wherein he sometimes featured us New Horizon folks in TV with immediate translation into Farsi. In attendance in Beirut were some of the Houthi folks, really charming and gregarious people who have certainly demonstrated the consistency of their commitment to defend Palestinians during recent months.
