Col. Larry Wilkerson: Israel SURVIVES a new WAR with Iran, Yemen Push Israel's Economy to the Brink!

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:How do you assess Iran’s behavior following the foreign minister’s interview on Fox News, especially regarding its nuclear program and desire for negotiations with the U.S.?Do you believe the main objective behind Israeli and U.S. actions toward Iran is regime change?Given Israel’s struggles in defending against Houthi attacks, how credible is their threat or plan to launch a major offensive against Iran?Why is the UK, despite strong verbal condemnation, not taking significant action to pressure Israel over Gaza?What role is Israel playing in exploiting divisions within the Druze community in Syria, and what are their broader strategic goals in the region?Colonel Larry Wilkerson:The Fox News question about Iran’s underground nuclear facilities was absurd—of course they’re underground, given Israel’s history of assassinating scientists and attacking infrastructure. It’s basic self-defense, not proof of malign intent. Iran is trying to negotiate, but I suspect they’re being naive, trusting Trump will deal in good faith, which he won’t.Yes, regime change is the official U.S. policy toward Iran, as codified by Congress. But the idea that the Iranian people would rise up and install a pro-Western government is delusional. Any new government in Tehran would still face the same threats—especially from Israel—and would likely pursue the same strategic deterrents, including nuclear weapons.Israel cannot realistically defeat Iran, but Netanyahu, like a dictator drunk on his own rhetoric, believes he can—especially with U.S. backing. He’s suicidal in his ambitions. Iran is not the weak state of 1953; it has learned from past conflicts and built a resilient, asymmetric defense. Any war would be catastrophic and unwinnable for Israel and the U.S.The UK talks tough but does nothing meaningful because it’s still aligned with U.S. and Israeli interests. Real pressure—like cutting arms sales or imposing sanctions—is absent. Meanwhile, what’s happening in Gaza—using aid distribution sites as killing zones—is a genocide live-streamed, worse than Dachau in visibility and cruelty. The world sees it but hesitates to act.Israel is bribing and manipulating Druze leaders in Syria to gain local support, not out of goodwill, but to clear its rear flank as it advances. Netanyahu’s ultimate goal is regional domination—Greater Israel—encompassing Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and beyond. But he’s overreaching; he’ll drag the U.S. into a war with Iran that neither can win, potentially triggering a wider conflict, even nuclear escalation. Hosted on Acast.
