🎙️ Carl Zha: The Myth Is DeadIn this explosive episode, I speak with Carl Zha of the Silk & Steel podcast about the rapidly escalating military conflict between Israel and Iran—and why Israel and the U.S. may have underestimated Iran’s resilience.🇮🇷 Iran’s Shock ResponseFollowing Israel’s initial surprise attack, Iran stunned both Israel and the U.S. by regrouping within hours—filling leadership gaps, repairing air defences, and launching retaliatory strikes almost immediately. This is the first time Israel has faced a real adversary that can hit back just as hard.🌍 Why This Isn’t IraqWe break down why comparing Iran to Iraq is a strategic mistake. Iran is four times larger, has a tougher terrain, a larger population, and far more missile-manufacturing capability. A U.S. ground invasion would require over half a million troops—something simply not possible today.💣 Can the U.S. or Israel Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Facilities?Carl explains why Iran’s enrichment facilities are buried too deep—literally under mountains—for either country to strike effectively. Even the U.S. would struggle, bunker busters or not.🧨 Regime Change Fantasy?If regime change was the goal, it’s unattainable without an unimaginable ground invasion and massive regional blowback. Most likely? A symbolic attack for headlines—nothing more.🗣️ Scott Ritter’s Controversial TakeWe respond to Scott Ritter’s claim that Iran provoked this war and that the U.S. can "end" Iran. Carl strongly disagrees—and shares a fiery debate he had with Ritter on his own channel (linked below).🌏 China’s Growing RoleChina is not sitting this one out. It’s calling out Israeli aggression, supporting Iran’s right to enrichment, and quietly limiting U.S. access to rare earth materials vital for missile production—while likely supplying Iran with what it needs to keep building its arsenal.Subscribe for more in-depth discussions on geopolitics, Islam, and emerging tech.🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss upcoming interviews.Visit us at: 🌐 www.kianistan.comSupport our sponsors: 💼 www.worldwidelistings.co.uk Follow Carl Zha: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaUg2PM1J5b3nc5KGZnTAiOJWJ7VilEH2 youtube.comhere are the 3 external videos that were referenced in this discussion:1 Carl Zha earlier interview on another channel:https://youtu.be/0tQq-XVVBqs?si=5ipcmndoKaMudo1S2.
