Description

The hosts of The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris, join Jimmy to analyze the current US-Iran stalemate, noting that US military commanders have advised against resuming airstrikes because "more bombing is not going to achieve anything," leaving Trump with no good options—unable to negotiate or escalate without risking Iran wiping out Gulf States. They argue that Trump was "talked into this war by Netanyahu" based on false assumptions that Iran would collapse immediately and that despite Trump's claims of having "all the cards," Iran actually holds the ace by controlling the Strait of Hormuz, which is crippling the global economy. They further note that Russia and China stand firmly behind Iran, with Putin praising Iran's "heroic defense" and the head of Russian military intelligence present at high-level meetings, signaling logistical support. The hosts also discuss the psychological toll of the Gaza genocide on Israeli soldiers, citing a 40% increase in PTSD and a sharp rise in suicides among active-duty IDF personnel, with at least 10 soldiers taking their own lives since the beginning of the year.

Israel's idea of a ceasefire is you cease and we fire.

The attempted Trump assassination isn't news bc it's obviously fake, and a total embarrassment, as is this failing administration.

The Duran is hands down the leading, publicly available, authority on geopolitical analysis & commentary. Thank you Alex & Alexander 👏
