Generated Summary:

Main Topic:

The video features a conversation with Scott Horton, delving into the historical context and events that have led to the complex relationship between the US, Israel, and Iran, potentially leading to war.

Key Points:

• 1953 Iranian Coup: The discussion begins with the 1953 CIA-backed coup against democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and the reinstallation of the Shah. This is cited as a key event that led to long-term "blowback" and resentment towards the US.
• Iranian Revolution (1979): The Iranian Revolution is discussed, highlighting the initial US assessment that Ayatollah Khomeini wasn't so bad and could be worked with. The hostage crisis is contextualized as occurring later, after initial attempts at cooperation.
• US Support for Saddam Hussein: The video highlights the US support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, including providing intelligence and potentially turning a blind eye to his use of chemical weapons against Iran.
• Afghanistan and the Soviet Union: The conversation touches on the US policy of supporting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to bog down the Soviet Union, potentially leading to the rise of Al-Qaeda.
• Iraq War I (Desert Storm): The discussion covers the events leading up to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, suggesting mixed signals from the US that may have inadvertently encouraged Saddam Hussein. It also highlights the lies and propaganda used to garner public support for the war.
• Shiite Uprising: The video discusses the US encouragement of a Shiite uprising in Iraq after Desert Storm, followed by the US abandoning the rebels and allowing Saddam Hussein to crush the revolt.

Highlights:

• The importance of understanding historical context when assessing current US-Iran relations.
• The CIA's internal acknowledgment of the potential for "blowback" from covert operations.
• The US's shifting alliances and policies in the Middle East, often driven by short-term interests and Cold War calculations.
• The role of individuals like David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski in shaping US foreign policy.
• The discussion of the US providing support to Saddam Hussein, including chemical weapons, during the Iran-Iraq war.
• The lies and propaganda used to justify the first Gulf War.

About Tucker Carlson Network:

We’re building an alternative to legacy media

What is TCN?

Tucker Carlson Network is the new streaming platform that is home to exclusive all-new content from Tucker Carlson. We will regularly be releasing new video content that tells the stories that matter and helps you make sense of the world around you. Why We Founded TCN

News coverage in the West has become a tool of repression and control. Reporters no longer reveal essential information to the public; they work to hide it. Journalists act as censors on behalf of entrenched power. They have contempt for the public. They hate the truth.

Democracy can’t function in a society like this. Voters can’t know what they’re voting for. People do understand they’re being manipulated, and they resent it. The population becomes angry and paranoid. Things fall apart.

There’s only one solution to a propaganda spiral like the one we’re living through, and it’s telling the truth about the things that matter — clearly and without fear. That’s our job. We plan to do it every day, no matter what.

We are the sworn enemies of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. We believe the corporate media is broken beyond repair, and the only way forward is to build something better.^[[1] https://tuckercarlson.com/about]
