686: Fifth Column
Iran Gas Sector, Azerbaijan Pipelines and Hillary Clinton
Iran is reportedly entering the European gas market, competing with the U.S.-backed Southern Gas Corridor. The hosts suggest that the West's recent diplomatic overtures to Iran are motivated by a desire to control the flow of gas from Azerbaijan and the Persian region. They reference Hillary Clinton's past involvement in Baku and the strategic importance of the Eurovision Song Contest as a soft-power tool in the region.
