Greg LaMotta has a Ph.D. in Caribbean and Latin American history and is a longtime activist on behalf f Cuba and has visited the island numerous times over the past 40 years.

Here we talked about his most recent trip, for May Day, and the current situation there, including food and power shortages and strains on the medical system. But despite this, the Cubans are adapting and continuing to fight for their sovereignty amid the worst embargo in world history.

Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi is a professor of history at York University, England and author of "Revolution and its Discontents" and is a recognized scholar of Iran . . . and today I had a great talk with him about the current attacks and threats of a larger war coming from Israel and the U.S.

We discussed the possible reasons for the current crisis, the role of Iran's nuclear program and the JCPOA, the Axis of Resistance, Israeli losses and potential vulnerabilities, what the regional environment is like, and Iran's domestic political situation.

It's an analysis you're not likely to hear elsewhere.

Eskandar Sadeghi has written extensively on this topic, including at "Iran and the 'Axis of Resistance': A Brief History" and "Culmination" in NLR's "Sidecar"
