Thank you for this brilliant and informative episodes about the Iran.

And I can tell you: you know sooo much more than these so-called experts I get in Europe! đđź

Germany20 days ago - Is this guy serious?
Itâs painful watching the Saudi lobbyist squirm as the war he so eagerly championed begins to unravel.

United Statesa month ago - A rather partial perspective
The hosts admit that theyâre of a GCC/Trump/Israeli perspective, so itâs interesting if youâd like to understand current situations from those points of view.

Some very interesting guests, though rarely a female voice or perspective but thatâs not a surprising blind spot, given their proud... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Mendacious rude nonsense
Distasteful jokes about blowing up women, brazen untruths about the war situation, absurd attempts to justify bloodshed and war crimes. Even Hitler comparisons, like itâs 1985. I canât believe people take the commentator at face value.

Taking Kharg island will be a cake walk. Okay.
US hands control of the gulf to Iran. 4D chess. Okay.
Iâm all for hearing two sides of an argument but lay off taking your own supply.
