Michael Lester - Is the United States Going to War with Iran For Israel? | SRS #289 | Shawn Ryan Show

The conversation centers on the influence of Israel on U.S. foreign policy, particularly concerning Iran, with Michael Lester, a decorated U.S. Marine Corps combat pilot and author, providing insights. Joe Kent's resignation from the National Counterterrorism Center due to the ongoing war in Iran is highlighted, alongside Senator Lindsey Graham's interactions with Israeli intelligence. The discussion explores Israel's strategic goals in the Middle East, including weakening regional rivals like Iraq and the potential economic consequences for the U.S. should Middle Eastern countries cease trading oil in U.S. dollars. The potential for a U.S. false flag event blamed on Iran and the historical context of U.S.-Iran relations, including the 1953 coup, are also examined. The conversation concludes by focusing on the importance of citizen involvement in holding representatives accountable.
