Topic: Shah Of Iran

A Navy veteran recalls training to defend against the Soviet Union and notes that the military has long understood the unique challenges posed by Iran compared to Iraq. The host shares anecdotes from a family member who worked under a top CENTCOM general, emphasizing that Iran is the "worst" possible theater for conflict. He argues for anti-missile defense and diplomacy over the current path toward nuclear war.

A military contractor named Cool Hand Luke suggests that Trump should use Turkey to provide humanitarian aid to Iran instead of military force. He argues that Iranians will unify behind the Mullahs if attacked by Al Qaeda or Kurdish groups. The caller compares Trump's current situation to the setup of Saddam Hussein prior to the invasion of Kuwait.

A Marine veteran argues that Iran was on the verge of civil war due to a massive water crisis and currency collapse. He claims Operation Midnight Hammer was designed to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of warring factions. The host counters by noting the history of Western intervention in Iran, from the 1953 coup to the installation of the Ayatollah.

A historical analysis suggests that the CIA and British intelligence have historically destabilized the Middle East to prevent the rise of stable nations, citing Operation Ajax in 1953. Current military strategy involves placing US aircraft carriers within range of Chinese-made hypersonic missiles to potentially provoke a total war scenario. The Iranian military has responded by striking US bases and neighboring allies, resulting in significant casualties.

The historical transition of Iran from a Western-aligned nation under the Shah to a theocracy under the Mullahs is discussed. Savage argues that the Shah, while a dictator, oversaw an advanced society where women had rights, whereas the current regime enforces 13th-century restrictions. He blames the Jimmy Carter administration for undermining the Shah and allowing the rise of radical Islamic governance.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach characterized Jimmy Carter as one of the worst presidents in US history for allowing the 1979 Islamic Revolution to succeed. Boteach called for the US to provide B-2 bombers and 30,000-pound bunker busters to destroy the Fordo nuclear site. He noted that Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly advised Donald Trump that multiple strikes may be necessary to fully penetrate the Iranian mountain redoubts.

Israel, the CIA, and MI6 have a documented history of destabilization, including the 1953 Operation Ajax and the 1979 removal of the Shah of Iran. Historical records suggest the Shah believed Israel was behind his ousting because he intended to modernize Iran with nuclear reactors. Current geopolitical strategies are compared to these past events, noting that Benjamin Netanyahu previously provided support to Hamas to maintain a "dumb evil" opponent.

A historical analysis posits that the CIA and British intelligence have repeatedly destabilized Iran, from the 1953 overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh to the 1979 installation of the Ayatollah. Similar claims are made regarding Israel's role in founding Hamas to prevent regional stability and the involvement of Western intelligence in the 9/11 attacks. This Machiavellian cycle of creating and then destroying "monsters" is presented as a tool used by the British Empire and modern globalists to maintain geopolitical control.

Stewart Rhodes makes a distinction between the Iranian people, who desire freedom, and the "hereditary lunatic dictatorship" of the Mullahs. He argues that the globalist shadow government, comprised of the Five Eyes, Mossad, and the Federal Reserve, uses these radical groups to maintain a state of perpetual war. The discussion concludes that the ultimate goal of these Machiavellian elites is global depopulation and the establishment of a technocratic utopia.

Dale Comstock explains how Iran fights via proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis, and is now allegedly using cartels to target U.S. operators. The host provides a historical overview of CIA interference in Iran, including Operation Ajax in 1953 and the betrayal of the Shah. They argue that U.S. leaders have a long history of destabilizing the Middle East for globalist control.

Gerald Celente recounts his transition from a government affairs specialist to a "political atheist" following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. He critiques Jimmy Carter’s support for the Shah of Iran and the subsequent rise of the Mujahideen under Zbigniew Brzezinski. Celente argues that analyzing situations objectively requires letting go of ideology and recognizing when "leaders" are lying to the public.

Historical CIA involvement in the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran is discussed alongside current funding of Middle Eastern proxies. The ongoing conflict is seen as a tool to keep unpopular leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and the Iranian mullahs in power while advancing a global surveillance state. Donald Trump is positioned as an obstacle to this "New World Order" because of his preference for peace over perpetual war.

Jerome Powell is labeled a liar for previously claiming inflation was "transitory" before it hit 40-year highs. Gerald Celente shares his history as a political atheist, recounting how he made a fortune in the 1970s by betting on gold and oil during the Iranian Revolution. He provides a historical correction on Iran, noting that the U.S. and UK overthrew their democratically elected government in 1953 to protect oil interests.
