WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange interviewed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday in the debut of his “The World Tomorrow” talk show on Russia’s state-funded RT cable broadcaster. Assange remains under house arrest and spoke to Nasrallah, who is considered a “terrorist” by both the United States and Israel, from his study in London via a computer video link. The English-language channel that is funded by the Kremlin and openly promotes Moscow’s views on global affairs with the slogan “Question More,” had boasted that the choice of guest would irritate many viewers. Assange in his introduction called Nasrallah “one of the most extraordinary figures in the Middle East.”
