Laith Marouf: Iran Is Now A New Global Superpower And The West Can't Stop It | GEH W/ Radhika Desai

Is the West's devotion to Israel rational statecraft, or ideological blindness dragging the whole imperial order down with it? Laith Marouf, founder of Free Palestine TV, returns to break down why even mainstream military and intelligence assessments now admit Iran cannot be defeated, why the CIA's own hidden regional bases have been destroyed, and why Washington's pivot to economic warfare, sanctioning Iranian gold, crypto, and aviation, is a mark of desperation rather than strategy. Laith argues a rational empire would have abandoned Israel decades ago to preserve itself, but Jewish supremacist ideology among Western elites now overrides basic imperial self-interest, pushing them to strip their own populations of civil liberties to protect the colony. 00:00 Introduction 00:19 Israel's Escalation In Lebanon and the Limits of Empire 09:09 Damascus's Fall: The Road Not Taken 11:03 Turkey, Israel, and the Idlib Strike Propaganda 16:39 Israel Continues To Genocide Gaza, Increase West Bank Settlements 19:26 America Desperately Shifts To Economic Warfare on Iran 25:10 How Iran Is Managing the Public Debate 30:06 Gulf Allies And Relationships Broken By The US 36:23 US Military Decline and What Comes Next Check out Free Palestine TV: ‪@tvfreepalestine‬ Support me on Patreon ►   / radhikadesai   TikTok ►   / raddesai   X ► https://x.com/RadDesai Substack ► https://substack.com/@radicaldesai Website ► https://www.RadhikaDesai.com Edited by gena.sm@genasmirnovs.com
