About this episode

The episode discusses a controversial report about U.S. and Israeli plans regarding Iran and features insights from counterterrorism expert Joe Kent.

A New York Times report alleges the U.S. and Israel planned to install former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the leader of Iran, a move seen as a sales pitch to embroil America in war. This comes as President Trump reportedly had a tense phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu, telling him "He'll do whatever I want him to do" amid pressure for a peace deal. Counterterrorism expert Joe Kent analyzes the situation, suggesting Israel thrives on chaos and may have pushed the U.S. into the conflict with false pretenses, similar to the "Venezuela model.
