➡ The U.S. and Iran are in talks about an agreement, but it’s unclear if a deal will be reached. The negotiations involve issues like the return of Iranian assets, lifting sanctions, and a regional ceasefire. However, the situation is complex and the outcome uncertain, with potential impacts on the global economy and regional stability. The discussion also touches on the role of the media, the influence of the Israeli regime, and the potential consequences of the negotiations.
➡ The text discusses the influence of various powerful groups, including the Zionist lobby and the military-industrial complex, on U.S. politics. It suggests that these groups are interconnected and have significant sway over decisions, including those related to foreign policy. The text also discusses the potential for conflict with Iran, suggesting that the U.S. is seeking to exert pressure on Iran but that Iran is prepared to resist. Finally, it mentions a medical service that provides easy access to prescription medications, and speculates on the future of populist leadership in the U.S.
➡ Iran is benefiting from controlling the Strait of Hormuz, allowing only friendly countries to pass through, which also depletes the US’s oil reserves. Despite low oil prices, Iran doesn’t want to destroy demand. The US’s claims of Iran laying mines are dismissed as false, with the speaker accusing the US and its allies of disrespecting life and using coercive tactics to pressure Iran. The speaker also discusses the reopening of the internet in Iran, acknowledging the risks but emphasizing the necessity for businesses and society.
➡ The article discusses the tense relationship between Iran and the U.S., focusing on the possibility of Iran giving up its enriched uranium. It highlights Iran’s distrust of the U.S., due to past experiences where the U.S. did not fulfill its obligations. The article also mentions Iran’s preparedness for potential attacks and its resilience, which is rooted in its religious and national identity. Lastly, it suggests that the U.S. has a flawed understanding of Iran, leading to miscalculations in its policies.
➡ Flint and Hillary Leverett, former White House workers, believe that Western narratives about Iran are based on fantasy, not reality. They argue that these misconceptions lead to harmful actions, like attacks and propaganda. Despite the reality often proving these beliefs wrong, they claim that Western journalists and influencers can’t learn from their mistakes due to the power of these narratives. The speaker encourages resistance against injustice and maintains hope for a brighter future.

The Iranians and Americans have been negotiating this agreement for weeks now. We don’t know if a deal is going to be signed. Yes, it’s going to hurt us. The economy will continue to suffer, but the global economy will ultimately collapse. The Iranians are in control of the straits. Iran doesn’t want demand destruction. Iran wants the US to continue to use all of their strategic reserves. Trump doesn’t have a lot of time if he thinks that he can outweigh Iran. Sure he can try that. The Iranians are not going to give any concessions. This is a war for the country’s survival and it is a war that we will fight to the finish.

World War three is already happening. This is a house of cards and it is in the process of collapsing right now. You’re going to see an economic crash the likes of which we’ve never seen. Hi, folks. Canadian prepper here. Back once again with Professor Saeed Mohammed Morandi of the University of Tehran. He’s a former combat veteran of the Iran Iraq War, a US Citizen and currently residing in Iran, and a former adviser to Iran’s nuclear negotiating team. He has earned worldwide recognition as one of the most prominent voices who is articulating the Iranian position. And I’m hoping today that he can help us make sense of these nebulous negotiations that are currently taking place with the Iranians and the United States.

Professor Morandi, how are you today? Thank you very much. I’m doing well, thank you. So what do you make of the White House this morning denying the Memorandum of Understanding publication from Iranian media? They’re claiming that the stipulations within that MOU that were released by the Iranian media are untrue. One of these things were the release of funds to the tune of $20 billion or something like that. The agreement on environmental protection fees, lifting of a blockade, withdrawal of US forces from the region, and a final deal after 60 days via a UN binding resolution. Every day it seems that we’re going back and forth.

In your understanding of the situation, where are we at in terms of these negotiations and is this real or is it all just a time buying exercise? I don’t know what the Iranian media or Iranian television said. Basically what the deal says is that Iranian assets that were stolen by the Americans over the years, half of the. Half of it will be returned at the beginning of the implementation of the first part of this agreement, the first phase, that’s around, I think, $12 billion. And the other half, at a later stage, there would be waivers on Iran’s energy Export sanctions during this period of time, the two months and the.

There will be a comprehensive ceasefire across the region. And the Israeli regime would have to end its genocide in southern Lebanon. It is a genocide. Even the Western media is trying to hide it from the public. And in Gaza, the Western media basically, during the. On, during the genocide, the ongoing genocide, which is approaching three years, Western media would refrain from reporting on the, the mass slaughter that was occurring every day using the excuse that we’re not present on the ground in the ongoing genocide in Lebanon, which is very similar to what we saw in Gaza every day, tens of people being slaughtered, women and children included, and infants.

Western media has a huge presence in Beirut and it is probably, it has more journalists, Western mainstream or legacy media, journalists, any other Arab country, compared to its size and population, but there’s no difference. They frame what is going on in a way in which hides the, the magnitude of the slaughter and the devastation, because they’re basically employees of the Epstein class. In any case, the Iranians have in the agreement there must be a regional ceasefire that includes Lebanon. So it is the release of the stolen funds or assets. It is a waiver of sanctions on Iran’s oil exports during these two months and a comprehensive ceasefire.

And of course, the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranians will allow it to be opened and to have trade return to what it was before the war. Because at the end of the day, this was all because of the US Israeli war that we have this crisis. But Iran will retain control over the Strait. It will be Iran that allows these ships to pass through. In return, what will the Iranians have to do? Well, first allow those ships to go through, but. And also Iran would give a commitment that it will not produce nuclear weapons, which is not really a, a concession because Iran has been saying that for decades.

Okay, so the Iranians are saying they, they’re going to charge environmental protection fees. Is that going to be something that the US Will agree to, do you think? We don’t care. Right? Because that’s what, that’s what Iran is. That is what Iran is doing. And that’s what Iran will continue to. But in terms of like practically achieving some sort of agreement, I mean, what, what is it in your mind that the neocons want from Iran at this point? Because it seems like if they were to agree to these terms, then they would be in a worse situation than prior to the war.

And I just can’t see the Americans accepting that. So, so what in your mind do you think they want? It doesn’t really matter to us what they want. They lost the war. They carry out, carried out a genocidal war. They began by slaughtering 168 little school children, predominantly girls in an elementary school. On purpose? On purpose. I’ve been in major military operations. Day one of any major operation is a day where all the targets are very carefully vetted. They’ve been vetted for months. And you know, in subsequent day, maybe, maybe an officer would make some mistake and then something would happen, something horrible could, would happen.

But not on day one, not on the first strike that was, that was intentional. Those, because many of those children were the children of, of officers because it’s not far from a military base. And the Americans wanted to teach these officers a lesson. So in any case, they’ve carried out this genocidal war of aggression and they lost after 39 days. Iran won the war. So the Americans have to live with that reality. And the Iranians will not allow the ships from those countries that were hostile towards Iran to use the straight. Remember, the Strait of Hormuz is not closed.

It never was closed. But Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Atar, Bahrain and Kuwait, they assisted the United States in this genocidal war. They gave them the ability to use their bases to launch attacks against Iran. Not just their bases, the whole of their territory was used. Their airspace, their air bases, their, their hotels, their, their ports beyond the, the American bases, they were all being used. So they were, these five countries were waging war against Iran. That’s why Iran retaliated and that is why their ships are not going through the Strait of Hormones. But ultimately in this deal, Iran would allow those ships to go through and it would, the amount of trade could, would be the same as it was before the war.

So the concession that the Americans would get is to prevent their economy from collapsing. But if the Americans expect anything more than that, well, they should have won the war. It seems like Trump’s fundamentalist base, like his die hard mega supporters, if he came out today and said we won the war, that we destroyed the Navy, we destroyed the Air Force and all of this stuff, they would accept that. So the idea that they’re trying to, to create that this is all a PR game and that the only reason why there’s delays is so they can make it appear as though it’s a victory.

I’m just not so sure about that. Like Trump just said today that the Iranians won’t outweigh me, their economy is in freefall, and I don’t care about the Midterms, like, it seems like there’s backpedaling happening here. So, like, what, what is the real purpose for this delay in negotiations? Are they really just going to try to wait out the Iranians? Because something is not what it seems with these negotiations. We just heard Rubio say a few days ago that we were hours away from a deal. So, like, what exactly is, is going on here? Like, have you thought about this? And like, what is the broader strategy of the US Engaging in these, these temporizing tactics? But we have to remember that Joe Kent, he resigned right after the war started.

And in his resignation letter, he said that Iran is not a threat to the United States. Iran is not producing a nuclear weapon. Something that Tulsi Gabbard also said months earlier under oath. He said this war is because of the Israeli regime and the Zionist lobby. So that which is preventing Trump from signing what he’s already negotiated is the Zionist lobby and the Israeli regime. But don’t you think that’s also like a convenient scapegoat? Because if you look at who’s making money, it is a lot of U.S. oil companies. It’s the U.S. military industrial complex. Isn’t the Zionist scapegoat.

Isn’t that really convenient for them to just deflect responsibility onto that and say, well, you know, it’s not our fault, it’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s fault. Do you, do you actually believe that Netanyahu has that much sway over the US Government? Or is it really that they’re just, they keep that there as a convenient alibi or excuse for, for their misdeeds? No, I didn’t say Netanyahu as an individual, Netanyahu’s power, even just the Zionist lobby as a whole. Like, do you really think they’re the ones who are benefiting? Netanyahu’s power comes from the Zionist lobby. It comes from a powerful oligarchy and the donor class.

And they’re not separate from the oil oligarchy. I mean, look at who, who are the people who control Venezuelan oil right now. So there’s a huge amount of overlap, and the same is true with the military industrial complex. These are not separate entities. This is what many would call the, the Epstein class. And so the Zionist lobby, I’m not talking about APAC as a, as a building with employees who, whose priorities in life is, is, is the Israeli regime. I’m talking about the forces that made the forces that lie behind that, the forces that brought Trump to power, the forces that can make life hell for Trump if he, if he moves against them.

So we already saw the Americans negotiate and they almost reached the finish line. And at the last moment we saw who it was that began speaking out against the deal. It was those people who are affiliated to the Zionists and the oligarchy in the United States, the Epstein class. And Trump got cold feet because he is a very weak president. So when you speak about the military industrial complex and you’re, or you, when you speak about the, the oil barons in the United States, you’re not speaking about a totally different set of people than the people who are behind.

I mean the same people who control the media in the United States, the same people who control the social media in the United States and, and the world to a large degree. They, they have interests in, in all of these, they have major interests in all of these sectors. Contrary to popular belief in the apocalypse, most people aren’t going to die by the hands of marauders. In fact, you’re probably going to die from disease. This is why you need antibiotics. The problem is getting them requires a prescription. Well, today’s sponsor is Jace Medical. They’ve created a revolutionary service that allows you to get prescription medications like antibiotics with relative ease, hassle free.

This will be worth more than gold in an emergency for somebody who needs them. So do yourself a favor and, and take your prepping to the next level while you still can. Check out the link in the description below. And now back to the video. Yeah, I just always thought that Joe Kent was, he seemed to come off as a bit of a Trump apologist, almost trying to groom the next generation of populist leadership, particularly JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. It seems like they’re, they’re trying to do something there that’s a bit of something that doesn’t meet the eye necessarily.

So how feasible do you think a deal is if the Ayatollah hasn’t really presented himself publicly yet? If Trump can’t make a deal with Vladimir Putin and he invited him to Alaska, how feasible is a deal that’s going to be enduring with a leader who has yet to emerge from, for lack of better terms, from hiding. Understandably so, because of course he would be likely subject to assassination attempt. But it just seems really implausible at this point that we have anything beyond a 60 day temporary ceasefire. If the level of trust between the US and Iran is such that the, the main leader has yet, has, hasn’t been seen since the start of the war.

I don’t that the leader being in A secure location has anything to do with the decision making process in Iran. He is giving his instructions. He is meeting senior figures. Decisions are made. The negotiators are all active. They know what their, what the framework is within which they can negotiate. So that is not. The problem is not in Tehran. The problem is in Washington. And it began even in Islamabad. In Islamabad, when we were negotiating after the war, remember the war at the beginning, the United States said, well, Trump said, unconditional surrender, lay down your arms.

And by day 39, Trump accepted openly the 10 point Iranian plan as a framework for negotiations. So the war didn’t go well. But then at the negotiating table in Islamabad, Vance, he had no authority. The Iranian side had authority. The speaker of Parliament, who is the chief negotiator, who was flanked by the Foreign Minister and the deputy of the Supreme National Security Council, they had, he had the authority to make decisions. But Vance, during the day he was caught, even though to his left and his right was Kushner and, and Witkoff, you know, two Israeli firsters, he still had to make roughly a dozen phone calls during the day and one apparently to Netanyahu, to reports to Netanyahu, as, as Netanyahu later put it.

So he didn’t have the authority, whereas the Iranians did. And so the problem doesn’t lie in Iran, it lies in Washington. So the Iranians and Americans have been negotiating this agreement for weeks now. And the fact that Trump says no, this is not in it, that is not in, just shows his weakness. It shows that he is not able to show any, any authority. So we don’t know if a deal is going to be signed. We’re prepared for war. If the Americans want to continue with the siege, yes, it’s going to hurt us. The economy will continue to suffer, but the global economy will ultimately collapse.

We will have a global economic major deep recession. And then if it still continues, the Iranians are prepared for war, the Iranians are prepared for the siege to continue and the Iranians are prepared for a deal. Trump doesn’t have a good solution, obviously there’s no good outcome for him because he lost the war. What do they want from Iran that Iran is not providing? Like, what do you think the sticking points are in this deal right now? Is it the nuclear issue? Is it this environmental protection fee? Is it the, that they don’t want to relinquish control of, of assets? Because Trump said today that he wasn’t going to do that.

So where, where’s the sticking point here? We keep hearing that we’re 95% of the way there, but clearly that last 5% is a pretty substantial 5%. Well, the United States wants to crush Iran. Remember, Trump has said many times that he wants to obliterate Iran, that he wants to send Iran back to the Stone Age, that he wants to wipe out the civilization. I mean, he’s, he’s, he uses genocidal language repeatedly. And of course, the Israeli regime is genocidal. So obviously the Iranians know what they’re up against. This is a war for the country’s survival, and it is a war that we will fight to the finish.

So whether it’s a siege warfare or whether it’s a hot war, it doesn’t matter. The Iranians will remain steadfast. And the Iranians don’t trust the United States. They don’t trust Trump for obvious reasons. No one does. But, but Trump doesn’t have a lot of time if he thinks that he can outweigh Iran. Sure, he can try that. The Iranians are not going to give any concessions to the United States that he could not gain on the battlefield. He’s not going, he, they’re not going to give to him at the negotiating table what he failed to get when he launched his murderous and illegal and unprovoked war against the Iranian people.

If Iran is going to try to outweigh the US it’s in their interest for oil prices to rise. But it seems like a lot of the language that we’re hearing lately is doing a lot to actually calm the oil markets. And we’re starting to see passage through, through the Strait of lots of vessels, not lots. But, you know, certainly not at the level that it was pre war. It almost seems like the US now is the one who is trying to manipulate the price of oil upwards. And the Iranians are using a lot of soft language to calm the oil markets.

Wouldn’t it be in their interest if they were in this war of attrition that is contingent on the success of the US Blockade and their closure of the Strait of Hormuz. They don’t seem to be using the language that you would expect if they were really leveraging high oil prices and the threat to the global economy in the way that would be maximalist that I would expect. I mean, I would expect every day to hear Gallabou for one of these guys coming out and saying, yeah, the strait is still closed and we’re not letting oil tankers through.

But they don’t seem to be counteracting a lot of the US Propaganda that claims that everything is just fine. And that’s, that’s a good question. But I think that the Iranians, they are in control of the strait. So every ship that passes through there is some financial benefit to Iran. And those ships are limited in number and they are linked to countries that are friendly. So many of them are Chinese ships. So Iran benefits and Iran’s friends benefit. But the strait is still mostly closed and the Americans are unable to, to get any of those ships out.

So. But your question is a good one. It’s very good one. The price is low. Is that seems to be bad for Iran. But actually it’s the exact opposite because Iran doesn’t want to destroy demand. The more the demand, the more oil the United States has to release from its strategic reserves. And so right now, the US and its allies and other countries, those that still have strategic reserves, many are finished or are finishing. The United States has a few weeks left if they continue to sell. The reason why the price is stable is because of the strategic reserves and some oil that is leaving the Persian Gulf with Iranian consent.

But that’s free run and also manipulation. The Americans keep saying they were close to deal. We know it’s almost over. And that’s kept the prices relatively low, even though the spot market is not the same as the paper market, which you know better than. But yeah, I think you call it demand destruction or consume, you know something. Demand destruction. Right, exactly. Iran doesn’t want demand destruction. Iran wants the US to continue to, and, and the Europeans to use all of their strategic reserves. That’s a very interesting perspective. I haven’t heard it explained that way before. The, this Iranian gunboat situation that happened a couple days ago.

The US claimed that the Iranians were laying mines. Is that in your mind fake news or was that actually what they were doing? Yeah, that’s fake news because those sailors whose families are mourning their, their murder, they were in Iranian territorial waters. Why would Iran lay mines in their own territorial waters? And as we speak, every day, as you rightly pointed out, Iran allows like something like 25 or so ships on average to leave through the Strait of Hormos. So why would they want to block that passage for those ships? No, the Americans were just like the Israelis.

They are, first of all, for them, killing is very easy. They have no respect for life. And the, the west in general doesn’t have any respect for life. And I think ordinary people in the west are see that now. I mean, in the past, it was very difficult for people in the west to see this because of the power of the mainstream media. A lot has happened and people’s eyes are opened and they see what these elites are like. The Epstein class, the Epstein files. They’ve seen the genocide in Gaza and that’s why so many people in the United States, to their immense credit, have turned against the Israeli regime.

So many young Jews have turned against the Israeli regime. Many of the best activists and effective, many of the effect, very effective activists against Zionism are Jews. So people in the West, I think, increasingly recognize this. But the west, meaning the elites, those who are in charge, they have no respect for human or human life. The reason why they murdered those four officers, those four naval officers, was to put pressure on Iran. And, and they just make up stories about minds and all that to justify. And that’s the same thing that we see in, in Lebanon.

They’re carrying out mass killings and slaughter across the country. And of course, the Western media looks away or tries to justify it and pretend that they’re not massacring women and children, even though we see images every few hours of babies being pulled out from under the rubble and all that. But why are they doing that? In order to get concessions from Iran? They’re slaughtering the Lebanese. It doesn’t portend well if they’re currently still trying to use these coercive tactics in terms of kinetic strikes and we’re told that the negotiations are going well, but here they are trying to force Iran’s hand.

I mean, that doesn’t seem like it’s very conducive towards some sort of agreement. Are you at all concerned that the reopening of the Internet in Iran is going to be used as an attack vector once again? Like, is this all just a ploy to kind of induce complacency in Iran? Not that they’re necessarily going to be nearly as, you know, caught off guard as they would before, but is it an attempt to try to cut through the vigilance of Iran and get them to rest on their laurels and perhaps open up the country once again for another attack? Is there concern amongst the authorities about opening up the Internet and it being used as an attack vector once again? Yes, it is.

But at the same time, a lot of businesses need the Internet. The Internet was working. It was just the internal Internet. In other words, Iranian apps worked. Iranian websites were the equivalent to WhatsApp and Telegram, the Iranian versions. They were all working, but the international Internet was, was disconnected. And yet that is something that’s hurting businesses and it’s hurting A lot of people. So the government and the, the state now feel that they have to open up and allow the Internet to go back to normal. It will pose challenges, but keep it, keeping it shut down causes other sorts of damage to the country.

So I think it was the right decision to make. But yes, it creates more challenges. But I would also add that the security situation now is much different than before and I don’t think they’ll be able to catch Iran off guard. Well, I don’t think Iran was off guard in the past. But in any case, the Iranians were not during the 12 Day War, they didn’t understand how far Israeli regime would go. They knew that there would be an attack, but they didn’t think they would strike Tehran and strike residential buildings and assassinate senior leaders. They didn’t think that was going to happen.

And that was a, an important miscalculation the second time around during this war. The Iranians knew that this would happen, but they made, they made many mistakes or a number of mistakes. I think that if there’s another round of war, I’m sure there will still be mistakes, but I think there’ll be less than at the beginning of this war. Iranians now, as we speak, are more prepared for war than three months ago. If war restarts, Iran will be, will fight much better than three months ago. Just like three months ago when the war started, they fought much better than during the 12 day war.

So they won the 12 day war, but they learned a lot, a lot of lessons. So when a much more powerful force came, meaning Trump regime, alongside the Israeli regime, they, they fought well and won because a lot of it was because of the experience that they gained from the 12 day war. Now they have 39 days of fighting. So, and they’ve repaired all that needs to be repaired. They’ll build, they’re building new missiles. Remember, during the first few weeks, couple of weeks at least, most of the missiles and drones that were used were old generations of, of drones and missiles that were built 15 years ago.

So they use, I assume, most of, if not all of them. And, but now all they produce are the, of the advanced models. And, and in Iran, you know, the other experiences that they’ve gained during the war. The economy is doing worse than three months ago, of course, but the military is much more prepared. So they will obviously, if they restart the war, they’ll try to use the Internet to find targets and to, and to find out where scientists are, where academics are, where, where senior officials are, where senior generals and commanders are you’re absolutely correct.

But they’re more careful now. Again, I’m sure if war starts, they’ll, they’ll be able to find some people, but it’ll be more difficult than three months ago. But again, at the end of the day, we do need the Internet to go back to normal because that’s how our society has functioned. And you know, in today’s world, it’s not just not possible to keep it shut forever. The first mistake that probably 50% of people make when they get into prepping is they run out and they find the cheapest, biggest bucket of so called emergency food, food that money can buy.

The problem is it usually tastes awful. And I know what you’re thinking, Nate. In a disaster situation, I’m gonna rise to the occasion. My palate is formidable. No, it’s not. You’re not built like that. You’re a first worlder, just like me. There’s a much better solution that your family’s gonna love you for. Let’s check it out.

If Iran was to get some concessions from the US in terms of having these funds returned, the argument that would be made while they’re going to use these funds to, to weaponize further, and this would put the US in a certain predicament that they, they would be like this, this. Right prior to this war, I argued against Ray McGovern that we were in the Goldilocks zone for the US and Israel. If they were ever going to try to do this, it had to be at that period of time.

And it appears as though they failed in reaching their goals. And so if that is the high watermark of the US military empire, I can’t see them just going gently into the night. It seems like what they’re trying to do is genuinely appear as though they’re genuinely engaging in these negotiations. The same thing they did for the first two times. And as soon as they induce a sufficient amount of complacency amongst Iran, they’re probably going to strike again. I mean, am I blackpilled for believing that or did? Is there a way that Iran can get the guarantees that they need that would prevent the US from just unilaterally violating the terms of any agreement.

Like, in what world does this work out? The Iranians don’t trust the United States. And there’s a myth out there that is often repeated, and that is that the Iranians were deceived before the 12 Day War and they were lulled into thinking there wouldn’t be an attack. Or at the beginning of this war, the Iranians were lulled again because they were negotiating, which is not true. Before the twelfth Day War, the Iranians knew there was an imminent attack, but they, as I said, they didn’t expect the Israelis to strike senior officials and to strike. That was a miscalculation.

But they were waiting for an attack and they were prepared. But since they hit senior military officials, their Iranian response was delayed for a few hours, I think. I don’t know how many hours, but like a bit more than half a day. I don’t know, between maybe 12 hours or 17 hours. I’m not sure which one it was. You know, they had to have new people put in place and to make decisions. But in any case, before this war, the Iranians also knew there would be an attack, and they were more prepared this time around. But again, when the other side is going to carry out an assault, you can’t block it.

The United States has advanced technology, it has weapon systems that they’ve given to the Israelis that make it difficult to block their assaults. And of course, when the Americans get involved, they’re much more powerful than the Israeli regime. So when they assault the country, it has an impact. And the Iranians do not have a culture because of the religious culture to initiate a war, initiating a war is problematic for us. So this time around, some are saying, well, will Iran be fooled again? Iran wasn’t fooled during the last two wars, and Iran today is prepared. But if the Americans attack, obviously they’ll, they’ll attack when they think that they have an opening.

When they have, they can. There are some people that they can murder. Some, you know, during the, during this 39 day war, what the Americans and the Israelis would do is that they would monitor the families of scientists, of academics, important academics, officers, and wait to see. And, and then when, whenever those officers, let’s say, they’d stay away from their families, but then when they would go and see them, they would find out through their families, and then they’d attack and kill them with their families and their neighbors. That’s basically what the Americans and the Israelis would do.

So the Iranians are becoming more and more careful. I just have to ask you one last question. Is there a scenario in which Iran will agree to dilute its enriched uranium? And will, would that be sufficient, do you think, in the US Calling off the dogs of war, is that the primary objective? Is it the real objective? Or are they still hell bent on regime change? Will Iran relinquish control of its enriched uranium ever? And if they were to do that, do you think that would appease the US Warhawks? The Iranians at this stage are not even going to negotiate about the nuclear program at all.

This only comes in phase two. So there has to be a confidence building process for us to get to stage two. After the 60 days, if the Americans sign the deal and then if they abide by the deal. There are many ifs because that’s Zionists and the American regime. They are the most untrustworthy on this planet. But if hypothetically we get through the 60 days and they sign the deal and they abide by the deal, then we sit down and talk about outstanding issues. And key to that are the sanctions. So the Americans get nothing if they want to keep sanctions in place.

And Iran has learned a lot from the jcpoa, the nuclear deal. The, in the nuclear deal, the Iranians gave many concessions and then the Iranians implemented their side of the bargain and the Americans didn’t. And so Trump actually is very foolish by wrecking because he wrecked the deal because Obama, what he did was, was very hurtful to Iran. It wasn’t a good deal for Iran because Obama used the loopholes in the deal to refrain from implementing his side of the bargain. So the Iranians gave significant concessions and the Americans did not carry out its obligations. For the most part this time around, the Iranians are not going to work that way.

Everything has to be 100% and the Americans are going to have to carry out their obligations before the Iranians do anything. And for the Americans to remove sanctions, it’s going to be very difficult because as you know better than I, many of most of the sanctions are, are law. They’ve been passed by Congress. And can Trump get Congress to remove those sanctions? I think you and I both know the probable answer to that question. However, however, Nate, the big issue is that Iran holds the cards and the Americans started something and they miscalculated big time. If they had listened to us, they wouldn’t have started this war.

You’ve probably, you’ve, you’ve heard, I’ve been saying this for years, that if the United States launches an attack on Iran, the Iranians will shut down oil exports from the region. It was clear. And I’ve been speaking about Iranian missile capabilities and drone capabilities in underground cities. And, and, you know, I think the biggest problem in the United States, and I’m terribly sorry, I’m. I may be a bit exhausted, so. But I, I hope I’m explaining well, the, the major miscalculation I think comes, that comes from the United States is their Orientalist worldview. Their, their exceptionalist worldview.

They think they, they underestimate us. They think that these Iranians, they believe their own propaganda. We’re backward, we’re fanatics. We have these mad mullahs, as they say. We are corrupt. It’s imploding. The regime is, if they love to call it a regime, they, you know, you can, the more they use the term regime, it. Often you can tell how, how much rage is. Is it, you know, is inside them. The regime is on the verge of collapse. It’s. It’s brutal, it’s barbaric, it’s unpopular. And so they believe their own nonsense. And then when they carry out policies based upon that framework, that narrative, they hit a brick wall.

And, I mean, if the Islamic Republic did not have popular legitimacy, it wouldn’t have won this war. Everyone in the west expected Iran to fall. Even Iran’s friends expected Iran to fall. Even friends of Iran, they didn’t expect Israel. We knew this would happen. We knew because we knew that they were talking nonsense. And we tried to tell them the truth and to comprehend, but to no avail, because whenever we said things, they’d say, this is propaganda, regime propaganda. Okay, fine. But it just shows that the Islamic Republic has a high degree of public legitimacy. It is a technologically advanced country.

It is very resilient and resistant. A lot of it comes from its religious ideology. Shia Islam is particularly resilient and resistant. And they, you know, supporting the oppressed against the oppressor is something very key to the religious identity and national identity. Thus, that’s why the Iranians support the Palestinians. That’s why they support Cubans. That’s why they supported the Bosnians, and that’s why they support, you know, the people of, of. Of Syria against the dirty war or Libya or and so on. That’s why they resisted against empire. It’s. It has much to do with that. So this, you know, this resilience, this technological.

There’s a good book, actually, for people to read a couple of good books if they want to understand this, this culture. And so one is a book by Alistair Crook, who I’m sure you know, you know of. At least it’s called resistance. And the. Another is going to Tehran by Flint and Hillary Leverett, who worked in the White House during the Bush years and resigned over the Iraq war. So, so they believe their propaganda and thus they do things that, that, you know, the, that based on that model would work. So Iran is a house of cards.

So let’s just attack, kill some kids, kill some leaders, and you know, shock and awe and the population will submit. But since all of their calculations are based upon a model that only exists in their fantasies, in their, in their, in their own minds, when it, when they confront reality, something else happens, but they don’t learn because this narrative is so powerful. They can’t learn. Western journalists, mainstream legacy media journals can’t learn. It’s not possible for them. It’s not possible. It’s kind of like how they have all these paid influencers who are circulating information that is kind of pro monarchy, pro, you know, son of the Shaw.

And then they, they believe that that’s the actual reality. And you know, there’s a saying in the west here that’s you shouldn’t get high off your own supply. And that’s, that’s kind of what they’ve, that’s kind of what they’ve done. But I want to thank you for coming out. You always have an insightful perspective and it’s because of that Orientalist default view that we have here in the west that we bring guests like yourself on to try to give us a more comprehending, comprehensive understanding of these things. Asides X, is there anywhere where people can find more information about you or is that the best place that they could.

Not really, because I’ve been removed from in Instagram and Facebook a long time ago and there’s a lot of AI of me on, on. I noticed the AI thumbnails are getting. It seems like everyone I see is further and further from your likeness, but. Well, some of them are actually getting quite good. I think in, in a few months time they’ll probably be. They’ll look more like me than myself. So I think that they’re the real thing and I’m the fake one. Yeah. Is there actual AI video of you now too? Yeah, I’ve. Well, they’re not great at the moment, but they’re getting better and better.

I mean, some of them say nonsense and some of them seem to be saying, I, I don’t watch them because I don’t have time. I’m so overwhelmed with work. But every now and Then someone sends me click a clip and then I, you know, I, I look. Just one thing before I go. What is this on the wall? The, the, the picture? What is this? I know it’s like sort of like doomsday, but it’s a compilation, it’s a compilation mural of various kind of Hollywood depictions of end time stuff. So you know, there’s a bunch of characters and movies that you may not, may or may not know.

And it’s kind of just a confluence of various cataclysms and catastrophes. And so we had a local artist paint it. It, it’s bigger than it looks on the screen. It’s about 30ft by 25ft. So it’s a giant mural. Yeah, he’s a great artist. And you know, we’re all about preparedness here and preparing for large scale catastrophes and you know, one of those. Well, hopefully, hopefully we’ll not get to that and we will see better days. Although I’m pretty sure that things will get worse but. Well, there’s always a rebirth process. There’s always a reason. Exactly. There’s a silver lining at the end of it all.

Yeah, I, that’s what I was going to say. I think that there is definitely a brighter future after this darkness. And, and so people should be live with hope. I mean they should resist the empire and ethno supremacism and, but, or, and racism and injustice. But no one should despair. Despair is, is, is actually what the empire and what the. Those who impose their will on others, that’s exactly what they want. And so that’s. We should never give it to them. Very sage advice. Wise words.
