🚨ARE WE MISREADING IRAN’S NUCLEAR INTENT? The West’s entire security strategy is based on the premise that Iran is an irrational actor, but Glenn Diesen argues there is no evidence to support this. Historically, nuclear weapons have served as a defensive deterrent rather than an offensive tool for "blowing... show more

🚨🌍 NUCLEAR ESCALATION IS NO LONGER UNTHINKABLE Glenn Diesen says once both sides feel cornered and unable to accept defeat, escalation can spiral beyond control, even toward tactical nuclear use. He warns pushing a regional power into an existential fight removes off ramps, and in that environment, worst case scenarios stop sounding impossible. Glenn Diesen

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Every concession the U.S. wants is something Iran needs to survive. Professor Glenn Diesen breaks down why Trump's maximum pressure playbook hits a wall this time. "There is no deal making on the things that Americans want. There's no giving up on a civilian nuclear program. There's no giving up on its conventional deterrent." Glenn Diesen

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The people warning about nuclear escalation are increasingly treated like the dangerous ones. Diplomacy itself has become politically toxic across much of the West, where even talking to adversaries is framed as weakness or surrender. Geopolitical analyst Glenn Diesen says that mindset is exactly what makes catastrophic escalation more likely. “If they say Iran is an existential threat, it's not that far-fetched. They might see this as an existential threat, and they would use a nuclear weapon. It's not unthinkable.” Glenn Diesen

🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN IS RATIONAL; THIS WAR IS NOT Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen argues Western assessments of Iran are flawed. "It's often presented as just being a bunch of crazy mullahs who wants to acquire nuclear weapons and just burn the world and kill all Jews.” "Once the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, now they face an existential threat. What else can they do? They go all in.” Glenn Diesen

🚨ASKING IRAN TO GIVE UP ITS MISSILES IS LIKE ASKING IT TO GIVE UP BREATHING The UAE wants Iran's ballistic missile program dismantled as part of any peace deal. Glenn Diesen says that will never happen. Those missiles are the only reason Iran is still in this fight. Demanding a country surrender its only deterrent isn't diplomacy. It's asking for unconditional surrender dressed up as a negotiation. Glenn Diesen

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE FINAL SETTLEMENT: BEYOND THE "WHACK-A-MOLE" STRATEGY The American political culture has long viewed Iran as the "final piece" to be knocked out, but the old playbook of bombing and withdrawing is officially broken. Iran is no longer interested in a temporary ceasefire that allows the West to rearm and reset. According to Glenn Diesen, Tehran is now pushing for a final settlement to end the threat for good. This shift in logic mirrors the conflict in Ukraine, where "resetting" the war is no longer an option for the opposing side. The U.S. assumes it has escalation dominance, but the reality on the ground suggests a much longer and more costly confrontation than the Trump administration is prepared for. Glenn Diesen

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE ESCALATION TRAP: WHY THE U.S. IS RUNNING OUT OF MOVES We have entered a dangerous escalation cycle with no clear exit strategy. Trump’s "victory" speech is falling flat because the variables are no longer under American control. As Glenn Diesen explains, the U.S. has already hit its primary military targets, yet Iran continues to soldier through. This lack of escalation dominance means the focus is shifting toward inflicting economic pain on civilians, a desperate move that rarely leads to the intended capitulation. Is the U.S. losing its grip on the variables of war? The situation suggests we are entering uncharted territory. Glenn Diesen

Iran’s Nuclear Program Is the New WMD Lie. ft. Scott Ritter Trump and the Zionist neocons around him keep blowing up peace talks by alleging that Iran is racing toward a nuclear bomb. The question is simple: are we actually facing an Iranian nuke threat, or are we watching a reboot of the Iraq WMD scam? Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter reports Iran has never run an active nuclear weapons program, and that the nuclear scare narrative is political, not factual. Israel had previously rolled out dramatic “Iran nuke” files before, including a 2018 forged dossier that was more about manufacturing a pretext for war than revealing any real, ongoing weapons program. Israel itself sits on an undeclared nuclear arsenal, has never signed the Non‑Proliferation Treaty, and still claims the right to decide which countries are “allowed” to have these weapons.

The U.S./Israeli war with Iran was based on the pretext that Iran was close to acquiring a nuclear weapon to use against Israel. But, Prof. John Mearsheimer tells Glenn Greenwald why he is more concerned about the Israelis using nuclear weapons against Iran:

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷THE POINT OF NO RETURN. TRUMP’S STRATEGIC BOX President Trump may have reached a stage where a clean exit from the Iranian conflict is no longer possible. Glenn Diesen, a leading Professor of Geoeconomics and Russian Foreign Policy, argues that the global economic fallout is now forcing a search for an urgent off ramp. As energy shortages hit Asia and nations declare force majeure, the pressure to end the war is becoming an existential threat to the administration. Glenn Diesen

🚨🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Iran reportedly already holds enough enriched uranium for up to twenty nuclear weapons. Geopolitical analyst Glenn Diesen, citing MIT nuclear expert Theodore Postol, says Iran avoided building a bomb for years because it would trigger a regional proliferation race. The campaign to destroy Iran has flipped that logic entirely, handing Tehran every reason to finally cross the threshold. He warns that the peace through strength approach all but guarantees the outcome it was meant to prevent, unless a deal emerges that actually recognizes Iran's security and accepts a conventional deterrent.

🚨🇺🇸 THE DECLINE OF HEGEMONY: A NEW WORLD ORDER The era of relying solely on U.S. security is rapidly coming to an end as the "declining hegemon" lashes out. According to Glenn Diesen, we are witnessing a global shift where betting your security on Washington no longer makes sense for rising regional powers. From the Gulf states to South Korea, nations are realizing that U.S. presence now brings more insecurity than protection. The monopoly on global security has been broken, and the Middle East will never look the same again. Glenn Diesen

🚨🇷🇺 MOSCOW WON’T SACRIFICE IRAN FOR A PROXY GAMBLE Glenn Diesen says Russia does not want chaos on its southern flank, with Iran central to its Greater Eurasia strategy. He says Moscow and Beijing may quietly provide intelligence or weapons, but neither seeks direct war with the U.S., even as escalation lines can shift faster than expected. Glenn Diesen

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇦 IRAN WAR FALLOUT WILL HELP END UKRAINE WAR Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen says the ripple effects of the war will reach Kyiv. Ukraine is bleeding weapons, money, and manpower while Russia is stacking cash thanks to the increased price of oil, and the Iran conflict is draining NATO stockpiles fast, leaving Kyiv with fewer options and harder choices. "The only way the war can end, either a nuclear exchange or Russia wins. You can't defeat the world's largest nuclear power facing an existential threat." Glenn Diesen

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 PROXY WARS & PUPPET MASTERS: THE IRANIAN FRONT As high-level trade talks between the U.S. and China loom, the world watches to see if these two superpowers will decide the fate of Iran. Glenn Diesen explains that in a world of nuclear deterrence, smaller nations are increasingly being used as pawns in dangerous proxy wars. Despite the rhetoric regarding sleeper cells and "irrational actors," the strategic moves on the ground suggest a much more calculated and dangerous game. When the global "elephants" fight, it is the smaller nations that get trampled in the chaos. Glenn Diesen

🇷🇺🇪🇺 Worrying about nuclear war used to be called deterrence. Now many European leaders treat it as weakness, appeasement, or “falling for nuclear blackmail.” Geopolitical analyst Glenn Diesen says the real danger is the belief that endless slow escalation can continue forever without triggering a direct response from Russia. “At some point, the Russians will retaliate and we're going to go very quickly up that escalation ladder.” The scariest part is that almost every step toward disaster still looks manageable right before it happens.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran may see the U.S. as slowly rewriting the rules in the Strait of Hormuz, one step at a time. Glenn Diesen argues that this is the logic behind “salami tactics”: chip away at a deal gradually, then make any serious pushback look like an overreaction. “Everything that the opponent will do to resist or oppose it will look like an overreaction. This is by design.” He says Iran may be acting now to stop that process before a new U.S.-controlled status quo takes hold. Glenn Diesen

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Political scientist Glenn Diesen says attacks on Russia's economy may be pushing the war in the opposite direction. Strikes on refineries, warehouses, and commercial infrastructure are designed to pressure ordinary Russians and force the Kremlin toward negotiations. But he believes the strategy misunderstands Moscow's motivations. Diesen says Russia views the conflict as existential and is unlikely to change course because of economic pain. Instead, he warns the pressure campaign could trigger a harsher response and further escalation. Glenn Diesen
