They delve into the historical context of U.S. intervention in Iran, particularly the 1953 coup that destabilized a democratic, multi-ethnic government and reinstated the Shah, ultimately leading to the 1979 revolution and the current theocratic regime. They also explore the internal dynamics of Iran, suggesting that a significant portion of its population desires a less theocratic government. Furthermore, they dive into Iran's nuclear ambitions and its support for proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah and question the effectiveness of military intervention and advocating for diplomatic solutions. The brothers touch on the broader challenges of foreign policy in the Middle East, including the historical tendency of the U.S. to engage in naive regime change, they speculate on potential future scenarios and biblical prophecies related to the region.Featured Cocktails1792 Full Proof Old Fashioned Classic DaiquiriShow NotesCIA Confirms Role in 1953 Iran Coup What Is the Iran Nuclear Deal?
