Trump Claimed He Destroyed Iran's Nukes Last Year. Wrong.

[00:00:02]Tell me something if Iran thinks Israel and the US wanted to destroy them, but Israel tells Iran is exist existential threat to them.

[00:00:11]Who is actually the one who started this conflict from the start?

[00:00:15]Look, both situations can be true.

[00:00:19]And okay, let's let's unpack this entire issue.

[00:00:25]In the 1950s, 60s, etc., 70s also, Iran was ruled by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was an American puppet.

[00:00:36]His job was to give full access of Iranian oil to the West at discounted prices.

[00:00:47]So, essentially during Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's time, Iranian oil was sold to the West at discounted prices, which was bad for Iran. He made Iran a complete puppet of the West.

[00:00:59]There was the prime minister of of Iran, uh Mohammad Mosaddegh, who stopped that who tried to stop this.

[00:01:06]He nationalized Iran's oil industry and stopped giving preferential treatment to the West.

[00:01:12]And there was a coup against him.

[00:01:14]Okay? And uh Pahlavi was reinstated as the guy in power.

[00:01:20]So, this was the situation before 1979.

[00:01:24]And Pahlavi eventually became extremely unpopular in Iran because he was a Western slave.

[00:01:30]So, eventually there was an Islamic revolution in Iran, and Mr. Khamenei came to power when the Islamic revolution succeeded in 1979.

[00:01:43]And the Shah, the fake Shah was ousted. He went into exile in the West.

[00:01:49]And Iran the the new Iranian regime, the government, the government of the Ayatollahs, the government of the Mullahs, they declared the US as enemy number one. They declared the US as Shaytan-e Bozorg, the Great Satan.

[00:02:04]And they also said that Israel has no right to exist.

[00:02:08]Okay?

[00:02:10]And they they they took over the American Embassy in Tehran and they took a number of diplomats, American diplomats, hostage for more than 400 days. Long story.

[00:02:23]So, Iran became super hostile to the US and super hostile to Israel.

[00:02:30]And in retaliation, the Americans induced Saddam Hussein to launch an invasion of Iran.

[00:02:35]There was the Iran-Iraq War, 1980s, which was a disaster for both nations.

[00:02:40]So, that's the story. That's how it all began.

[00:02:44]Now, um now the question you're asking is so so Israel from Israel's perspective, Iran is a nation that says Israel has no right to exist, so obviously Israel is right to be worried about Iran.

[00:03:01]Because from Israel's perspective, it has the right to exist.

[00:03:04]Israel is a legitimate nation. Even I would say that. Of course it is, right?

[00:03:08]So, Iran says it has no right to exist.

[00:03:10]Israel says, "No, no, no, we will exist.

[00:03:12]You can't stop us."

[00:03:13]And then Israel says that Iran is developing a nuclear program. Iran does have a nuclear program. It says that it's for uh civilian use, for power generation.

[00:03:24]But obviously a nuclear program can be used for other things as well, like creating nuclear weapons.

[00:03:30]So, that's the issue. Okay? Now, this current conflict, who started it?

[00:03:35]Well, there was a war, 12-day war in 2025 last year, which started with the Israelis launching air strikes on Iran.

[00:03:44]And it ended with American B-52 bombers destroying Natanz and Fordow two Iranian nuclear facilities. And then Trump claimed at the time that Iran's nuclear program had been destroyed once and for all.

[00:03:58]So, last year Trump claimed that Iran's nuclear program was destroyed, finished, permanently.

[00:04:04]Now, in 2026, this new war has started.

[00:04:07]How did it start? With an Iran with an Israeli and American attack on Iran.

[00:04:13]And and and Trump said that we are doing this war, we have joined this war, so that we destroy Iran's nuclear program. But did not did Trump not claim last year that he had ended it?

[00:04:24]So, that's the thing. So, this current conflict started with an Israeli and American attack on Iran. They started the conflict and then they assassinated Mr. Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran. That's how the conflict started.

[00:04:38]Overall, that's the story. All right?
