Episode notes
Regime Change Not Nuclear Safety
- The Iran confrontation is driven by a regime change agenda, not genuine nuclear safety concerns.
- Larry C. Johnson shows Iran already said it doesn't want nukes and offered concessions, yet the goal remains toppling the clerical regime.
Iran Is Not The Primary Sponsor Of Terrorism
- Most global terrorist attacks since 1979 were by radical Sunni groups backed by Gulf states, not Iran.

Tripartite Pact Shifted Iran Into BRICS Orbit
- After the June 12-day strikes, Iran pivoted to Russia and China for economic and security ties.
