In this interview, recorded on January 25, 2026, the recent unrest in Iran is analyzed as a coordinated foreign-backed operation involving trained rioters, MEK, and Kurdish groups, aiming to destabilize the country through economic sabotage, violent riots, and false narratives. The discussion reveals how Iran’s swift internet and Starlink shutdowns disrupted external command structures, leading to the failure of the insurrection. Contrary to Western media portrayals, no significant internal fractures or elite defections occurred. The conversation also covers Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, Europe’s strategic dependence on the U.S., and the fragility of American geopolitics amid economic pressures and midterm anxieties. Finally, the so-called “Board of Peace” is critiqued as a transactional, Trump-centered alternative to multilateral institutions, reflecting a shift away from the rules-based international order.
