Description

“Keep protesting,” Donald Trump told the Iranian people earlier this year—promising that “help is on its way.” In cities like London, Washington DC and Los Angeles, some in the Iranian diaspora rallied behind that message, calling for action and, in some cases, for war. More than six weeks later, with conflict grinding on and no clear resolution in sight, serious questions are emerging. Has any of this actually helped the people inside Iran? While parts of the regime’s military capability have been damaged, its grip on power—and its ability to suppress its own population—appears unchanged. Claims of a potential uprising, championed by figures including Benjamin Netanyahu and echoed in Washington, have yet to materialise. Meanwhile, reports of attempts to arm protesters—allegedly via Kurdish groups—raise further controversy and unanswered questions. As the war drags on and the human cost mounts, one central question remains: who has this conflict actually helped? Piers Morgan is joined by Iranian-American actor Sam Asghari, Iranian-American journalist & US Editor of Unherd, Sohrab Ahmari, international affairs scholar Professor Robert Pape, president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani, game theorist, 'Professor' Jiang and author of ‘Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America’, Gordon Chang. 00:00 - Introduction 02:00 - Professor Robert Pape joins Piers to discuss the U.S-Iran war 09:39 - Is China the real winner of the Iran War? 13:18 - Gordon Chang on Iran’s nuclear capability 16:00 - Trump’s relationship with Xi Jinping 32:00 - "A terrible outcome for the U.S in the war against Iran" 43:04 - Sam Asghari and Sohrab Ahmari join Piers to discuss the Iran war and regime change 55:50 - "A double pronged economic war being waged by Iran" 01:03:10 - Sohrab Ahmari on Iranians who support the regime and Reza Pahlavi 01:06:10 - John Bercow’s latest comments on Reza Pahlavi 01:13:43 - The Iranian regime using memes during war 01:17:00 - Trump attacking the Pope 01:24:45 - Bafel Talabani joins Piers to discuss allegations of Kurdistan stealing weapons Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all Uncensored content.

I'm only here to see how long it will be before Piers Morgan says he is friends with Trump and that he has known him for many years.
