Why The Deep State Needs A Nuclear Iran

from What’s Going On? Hosted by Dr. Dannielle Blumenthal

6/16/2025–What is the real reason they can’t get rid of Iran’s nukes? What’s the reason some on social media defend Iran, a terrorist state pledged to destroy America and Israel? It’s a clear and present danger. The deep state—unelected individuals seeking power and exerting influence behind the scenes—needs Iran as a threat to justify mass surveillance and control. Without a nuclear Iran, if people are getting along, producing wealth, and being happy, they can’t create police structures that limit human freedom. From a sociological perspective, terrorism, though bad, serves a purpose for those who want power. They claim that without mass surveillance and control measures, we won’t be safe. This is the real reason for what’s happening. We need to discuss and practice self-governance, avoid victim language, and use empowerment language to ensure everyone has a piece of the pie.
