Tucker X Jeffrey Sachs Just Exposed the Real Origins of the Iran War
By Masu Zafi
It’s NOT about nukes. It’s NOT about “evil Iran.”
It’s 73 years of American empire revenge + Israel’s Greater Israel project.
The official story is a LIE. Here’s the truth bomb they dropped: 👇
1/12
In 1953 Iran was a peaceful parliamentary DEMOCRACY that hadn’t invaded anyone in over a century.
Their elected PM Mosaddegh said: “The oil under our ground is Iranian, not British.”
CIA + MI6 overthrew him in a coup. Installed the Shah. Pure oil grab & regime change.
Sachs: “Iran had the audacity to say the thing never to be said… Immediately the British Empire came to the new ascendant American Empire and said, ‘We’ve got to overthrow this guy.’”

1979: Iranians throw out the Shah & CIA control.
THAT is the unforgivable crime.
From 1980 onward the US has been at war with Iran non-stop:
– Armed & paid Saddam to invade Iran (Iran-Iraq War)
– Knew about chemical weapons used on Iranians
– Decades of crushing sanctions
– Assassinations, covert ops, color revolutions
Trump himself was calling for “Vietnam-style military intervention” against the new Iranian government… IN 1980.
46 years of personal grudge disguised as “national security.”

The “Iran is building nukes” claim is the biggest lie of all.
US intelligence knows Iran has NO nuclear weapons program.
Iran’s leader issued a fatwa AGAINST nukes.
It’s pure pretext — just like every other war of choice.

This is ALSO Israel’s war.
1996 “Clean Break” strategy (Netanyahu’s team): Overthrow 7 countries in the Middle East to create “Greater Israel” — starting with Iraq, ending with Iran.
Gen. Wesley Clark confirmed the Pentagon plan: Iraq → Syria → Lebanon → Libya → Somalia → Sudan → Iran.
6 down. Iran is the last one.
Sachs: “We bought into the Iran story because Israel’s story that we got to kill them before they kill us is not inconsistent with our desire to have revenge and to control their oil.”

Right now we’re at the most dangerous fork in the road since WWII.
Option A: Take the off-ramp stop the bombing, negotiate, accept a stronger but peaceful Iran.
Option B: Full escalation → weeks of war that physically destroys Gulf energy infrastructure, Strait of Hormuz (20% of world oil), desalination plants, oil fields…
→ Global economic calamity. Oil shock + fertilizer crisis + stagflation on steroids. Possibly world war.
Sachs (economist who’s seen it all): “If we don’t take the exit ramp… I don’t see anything less than an all-out war… it would be a global calamity.”
6/12
The Iranian people have wanted to negotiate for YEARS.
They’re not the cartoon villain the media sells you.
The real story is American imperial humiliation + Israeli expansionism.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
7/12
Sachs doesn’t pull punches:
“We don’t need this. We don’t need the American Empire owning Iran. We don’t need revenge for 1979. We don’t need Greater Israel.”
This is the clearest, most historically grounded breakdown of the Iran war you will ever hear.
8/12
Tucker lets him go for nearly 2 hours with zero interruptions on the hard questions.
No spin. No “both sides” cop-out.
Just history + economics + geopolitics from one of the sharpest minds alive.
9/12
If you only watch ONE thing about the Iran situation this year — make it this episode.
It will change how you see every headline from here on out.

The narrative is cracking.
More and more people are realizing we’ve been lied into yet another forever war for empire and lobbies.
The question is: Will we take the off-ramp before it’s too late?
11/12
Drop a if this blew your mind.
RT this thread so the truth spreads before the next escalation.
The people deserve to know the real origins.
