We’re witnessing a proxy world war unfold and the public has no idea who’s really pulling the strings.
In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, Firas Modad breaks down the true geopolitical stakes behind the Israeli strikes on Iran, America's role in enabling regional chaos, and the long-term neoconservative agenda to destabilise the Middle East. From false pretexts and targeted assassinations to the economic costs of regime change.
