Col. Larry Wilkerson: Is War with Iran the Final Blow to the American Empire.

War with Iran may hasten U.S. decline; risks global conflict; intel dubious.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. Do you believe a war with Iran could mark the final decline of the American empire?
2. How do you assess the credibility of U.S. intelligence claims about Iran’s nuclear capabilities?
3. What role do you think the IAEA played in enabling an attack on Iran?
4. Is Israel capable of sustaining a prolonged conflict with Iran without U.S. support?
5. Could the current tensions in the Middle East escalate into a global conflict?

Col. Larry Wilkerson:

1. A war with Iran could severely weaken the U.S., especially under current leadership and global dynamics.
2. Intelligence claims appear inconsistent; historical parallels suggest manipulation to justify conflict.
3. The IAEA likely provided critical data to Israel, aiding targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
4. Israel heavily relies on U.S. backing and would struggle to maintain momentum in a drawn-out conflict.
5. Escalation is possible, especially with interconnected tensions involving Russia, China, and NATO.
