Geopolitical analysts Brian Berletic (The New Atlas) & Rachel Blevins reveal the TRUE goal behind the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran:
⚡ This is NOT about "self-defense" – It's a WAR ON THE MULTI-POLAR WORLD!
• Target #1: Iran’s alliance with Russia & China (BRICS+)
• Target #2: Kill the petro-yuan & protect dollar hegemony 💵☠️
• Target #3: Sabotage Eurasian integration (China’s Belt & Road)
🛑 HIDDEN REALITY:
Israel = U.S. proxy doing Washington’s dirty work
False flags coming? Another "Pearl Harbor" to justify full invasion?
Global South FIGHTING BACK – Will this spark WW3?

00:00It is June 13th, 2025, and Israel and the U.S. have just carried out an unprecedented attack against Iran,
00:08targeting nuclear facilities and ballistic missile factories,
00:12but also carrying out a number of targeted assassinations against some of Iran's top military commanders.
00:20And the Trump administration just went from acting as though they wanted to talk with Iran,
00:25that they wanted some sort of a deal to Trump, now coming out in the open and saying,
00:30hey, Israel used our weapons against Iran.
00:34We warned Iran that all of this is Iran's fault, though the U.S. is completely involved in this attack,
00:42which essentially means that the U.S. is now declaring war on Iran.
00:46But why are they doing this when even Trump's own director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:52testified that the U.S. has no evidence that Iran is planning to create a nuclear weapon
00:58when Iran is not posing a direct threat to Israel.
01:02And yet you have the media here in the U.S. parroting this claim that Israel is simply launching preemptive strikes.
01:09Well, we got into the reason why these attacks are happening and why they have been years,
01:16even decades in the making with a special guest earlier.
01:19So let's take a listen to that conversation now.
01:23Joining me now to discuss is Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst, former U.S. Marine,
01:29and host of the new Atlas.
01:31Brian, thanks so much for taking the time to join me.
01:35Thank you so much for having me back, even though it's a little bit earlier than I would have liked.
01:40Yeah, I know what you mean.
01:42And I'm glad that I get a chance to talk to you because you are one of the very few people out there
01:48who has called this, warned us that this was going to happen, and now we're seeing it happening.
01:55Israel has launched an unprecedented attack on Iran.
01:58It's still continuing to attack Iran.
02:00I know there's a lot of breaking news updates still coming in.
02:04With wide-scale strikes that Israel has said targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories, and military commanders.
02:13So we saw kind of what was expected, which was this attack.
02:17We also saw a number of assassinations targeting Iran's top military command.
02:23So will you start by kind of taking me through how you see this attack?
02:28Were you surprised by the sheer scale of what Israel carried out?
02:32Well, I think it's a misnomer to say this is an Israeli attack.
02:37It was carried out by Israeli planes and pilots, at least that's what we were being told.
02:45But there's absolutely no possible way Israel carried out any aspect of this operation without complete and absolute support from the United States
02:53that would have had to have spanned both at least the Biden administration and the Trump administration.
03:00So this is bipartisan, the United States, both administrations supported Israel in preparing for this operation.
03:07It's not something that you put together overnight.
03:09This took months, if not longer, to put together, possibly even years.
03:15Not only that, the United States has been preparing the region for years, many years,
03:21from the Obama administration all the way up until this second term of the Trump administration,
03:27preparing the ground for this very opportunity.
03:31We have to remember it was under the Obama administration all the way back in 2011.
03:36The Arab, the so-called Arab Spring, the U.S. engine near that,
03:40precipitated multiple wars in the region,
03:42specifically attacking Syria, a very close ally of Iran,
03:47to also Ansarallah in Yemen.
03:50And that was the beginning of this process of dismantling Iran's network of allies in the region.
03:57And we remember the Obama administration signing the nuclear deal with Iran.
04:03And I've warned people, before it was even signed, I said,
04:07this is in U.S. policy papers.
04:10Pretend to make a deal with Iran.
04:12Use it as cover to distance yourself from an unprovoked attack carried out by U.S. proxies, Israel.
04:20This is what I have warned about literally for years, years and years.
04:23And that is exactly what has happened now.
04:25We remember the Trump administration, the first term in office,
04:30unilaterally withdrew from this deal,
04:33killed senior military commander, General Qasem Soleimani.
04:38There was an act of war against Iran, unprovoked.
04:41General Qasem Soleimani was fighting ISIS and al-Qaeda, and they killed him.
04:46And then, under the Trump administration, we remember maximum pressure
04:51in attempts to collapse the Iranian government.
04:54And then under four years of Biden, toward the end of his term, Syria collapsed.
05:01Its entire air defense network, very formidable integrated air defense network,
05:07completely destroyed, clearing this corridor Israel is now using right now as we speak
05:13to repeatedly bomb targets all across Iran.
05:18So this was continuity of agenda spanning many years, over a decade,
05:23preparing the ground for this war with Iran.
05:25And people have to, people who are making excuses, sorry to go on for so long,
05:30but I'm so frustrated and angry.
05:33Not that the U.S. is doing this as it's completely expected,
05:36but the cognitive dissidence and delusion and denial among so many people,
05:43they literally wrote this in a policy paper, point by point by point,
05:48and then went down the list and implemented every single one of the policies they let out.
05:53It's a policy paper that is publicly available, free to download for anyone to read.
05:58And people, I know, I personally sent this to every single person that I know,
06:03and almost nobody has read it.
06:05Or at least they haven't mentioned it since.
06:08And they laid this all out, and now they are doing literally what they wrote in this policy paper.
06:13So it wasn't a lucky guess.
06:15It wasn't some complex process of analysis that I used to figure this out.
06:19They literally just wrote it down on a piece of paper, and I read it.
06:23So now, spanning all of these years, preparing the ground, now they're carrying this out.
06:29But this isn't about Iran.
06:30Again, a lot of people are laser-focused, obsessed with Israel and their hatred toward Israel.
06:36Not that Israel hasn't done things to deserve people's scorn.
06:40But this isn't about just Iran.
06:42This is about eliminating a pillar of multipolarism to further isolate both Russia, with whom the U.S.
06:50is also pursuing fake negotiations with, and also, ultimately, China.
06:56We have U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the rest of President Trump's neocon warmongering
07:02cabinet, talking about how we need a division of labor.
07:06We need to divide up all of these regions.
07:08We're at war, proxy war, with these adversaries of ours, these peer or near-peer competitors.
07:14And we need to do strategic sequencing.
07:15We need to deal with China first, and then circle back around to Russia.
07:20And in between, we will get Iran.
07:22And I'm not sure if it was on your program, or maybe it was another program that I've done
07:27recently.
07:27But I was asked, do you think they're going to do Iran first before China?
07:31And I said, most likely, because you will be disrupting the flow of hydrocarbons to the
07:36Chinese economy, weakening China's position, making it much better for the U.S. to pursue
07:41the very same type of hostilities with China that it is already involved in, either directly
07:46or by proxy against Russia and Iran.
07:48Yeah, yeah, and that's a great point.
07:50And I think that it's important to look at that bigger picture, right?
07:53Because you're right.
07:54A lot of people get kind of locked into this Israel versus Iran, and they don't realize
07:58exactly as you were saying there, this has been years in the making, right?
08:03And I know we've all been kind of paying attention to what President Trump has been saying.
08:08He has been talking a lot.
08:09And the fact that, you know, he went from just a few hours before this attack, getting on
08:15truth social and saying, we remain committed to a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear
08:19issue.
08:20And it's like, well, clearly not.
08:22And I don't think that that was ever the case, to now Trump has just kicked plausible
08:28deniability out the window.
08:29And he's fully on board, right?
08:31And he's on truth social threatening Iran saying, oh, we warned you, the U.S. makes the
08:36best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far.
08:41And so I'm looking at these statements and just going, oh, okay, the U.S. is completely
08:46on board.
08:47I mean, when it comes to just how involved the U.S. is, is it safe to say that the U.S.
08:53is now openly at war with Iran?
08:56Or has it been this way for a very long time now?
08:59This was always a U.S. war.
09:01Israel was created in the first place, first as a forward operating base for the British
09:05Empire.
09:06And then when the Americans assumed British primacy over the globe, it became a forward
09:11operating base for the United States and its interests in the region.
09:15And absolutely everything Israel is doing is enabled by the U.S.
09:20Like you said, President Trump just said they're doing it with U.S. weapons that we gave them,
09:25which is a mystery to no one.
09:27We all know that, including under the Trump administration, billions and billions of dollars
09:31of money and weapons constantly flow to Israel.
09:34All of their military operations, whether it's genocide in Gaza or these unprovoked unilateral
09:39strikes on, not really unilateral because it is U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, but all
09:46of this is made possible by the U.S.
09:48And if two points I want to really make clear to people, people will say, because even though
09:54President Trump has literally said to Iran, if you don't fully capitulate, this is going
10:00to happen again, Israel will attack you again with our weapons that we gave them to attack
10:05you.
10:07The U.S. should not have been talking to Iran in the first.
10:10There shouldn't have been any negotiations in the first place.
10:12If President Trump really was committed to peace and ending all of the endless wars that
10:17he said he would end on the campaign trail, he would not even have made Iran an issue because
10:23it's none of America's business.
10:24Its nuclear program is the business of the U.N. and the organizations and institutions
10:29that are assigned to mind that.
10:32And only if the U.N. authorizes the U.S. to get involved can the U.S. get involved.
10:37And it didn't.
10:38So they were doing that on their own.
10:40And the reason they were doing it was to create this pretext, this opportunity, also
10:46this distance between themselves and Israel who carried it out.
10:49They wanted to make it look as if they were trying to pursue diplomacy and the Israelis
10:54just did this on their own.
10:56That was always the plan.
10:57I'm looking at the Brookings Institution 2009 paper, which about the person, it's open
11:03right now on my desktop, talking about diplomacy.
11:08And they admit in the paper, the whole point of diplomacy is to create plausible deniability
11:13for when Israel carries out the strike on Iran.
11:16So the U.S. could say, we wanted diplomacy, Israel did this, we were offering the Iranians
11:21an opportunity, and they rejected it, and they brought this upon themselves.
11:26It literally says that they're trying to convince the international community that the Iranians
11:32brought it upon themselves by refusing a very good deal.
11:36Literally, I just read that right off the policy papers.
11:39That is what just happened.
11:40And we're still going to have people denying this, creating excuses for the Trump administration.
11:47As I had warned, this is absolute uninterrupted continuity of agenda.
11:53The Trump administration did exactly what the Biden administration did.
11:56The Trump administration, the Obama administration picked up right where the previous administration
12:01left off.
12:02They're going to continue pursuing primacy.
12:05There are no spheres of influence the U.S. seeks to create and allow other nations to
12:10establish.
12:11There is no accommodation.
12:12There are no negotiations.
12:14These were all ploys.
12:15And now we can see what the ploys were designed to do and lead to.
12:20Yeah.
12:20Yeah.
12:21And it's crazy exactly as you're laying it out there.
12:23It's like, and I know that we've talked about this before, even some of the ways in which
12:27you've been warning in recent months.
12:29Hey, yeah, this policy paper was written in 2009, but Trump literally just followed, I
12:35mean, his administration as a whole just followed it, right?
12:38It's textbook Trump coming out and saying, oh, well, I gave Iran 60 days and guess what?
12:43It's the 61st day.
12:45And now this attack had to be carried out because they didn't agree to a deal, even though the
12:51deal that the U.S. was offering them started out as something that they may agree to.
12:55And then all of a sudden the U.S. comes in and it's like, nope, there will be no uranium
12:59enrichment whatsoever, knowing that Tehran is not going to agree to that and should not
13:05agree to that.
13:06Now, I want to get into kind of what we're learning about this attack just a little bit
13:11and the significance of it, because you've got this report from the Times of Israel.
13:17Of course, Israel's now coming out and bragging that Mossad agents set up a drone base on
13:22Iranian soil near Tehran that the drones were activated overnight, striking surface-to-surface
13:28missile launchers aimed at Israel.
13:31And kind of as you were saying there, you know, talking about all of the ways in which
13:35the U.S. has targeted Syria, what do you think is the goal here when it comes to targeting
13:40Iran and really getting inside the country literally, but going after their military command
13:47as we've seen?
13:48What is kind of the overall goal when it comes to these attacks?
13:52The ultimate goal or desire of the United States is either regime change or creating
13:57a failed dysfunctional state in Iran and then using Iran as a springboard into Russia, into
14:05the rest of Eurasia and further encircling both Russia and China.
14:11That is the ultimate goal.
14:12And I have warned that both Russia and Iran's inability to stop the collapse of Syria signaled
14:20obvious weakness and the overextension of both nations and Iran more so than Russia.
14:29Russia is obviously involved in Ukraine and has prioritized that.
14:33Iran is right there in the region and they were unable to stop the collapse of the Syrian
14:38government, which indicated much greater weakness than I think a lot of people realize.
14:43And that was a warning sign.
14:44And I warned people that between the elimination of Syria's integrated air defenses, Iran's inability
14:51to preserve the governments in Damascus, all of this made it clear that Iran was weaker
14:59now than it ever had been before.
15:01And this would be exploited by the United States and its proxies in the region.
15:05That is exactly what they have done.
15:06So we saw the collapse of Syria at the end of last year.
15:10That is also when Israel carried out decapitation strikes against Hezbollah.
15:14And then upon taking office, the Trump administration began waging war against Ansar Allah in Yemen.
15:21It was a coordinated region-wide war on Iran's allies.
15:26And now the war is being directed at Iran itself.
15:29And I'm sure no matter what Iran said or did during these negotiations, their goal, I think,
15:33was to just delay for as long as possible.
15:36They knew no matter what they agreed to, if they agreed to everything, the U.S. would say
15:39they violated it.
15:40We have secret information that they violated it.
15:43And they would have bombed them anyway.
15:44So it was just a lose-lose situation for Iran.
15:46It's not Iran's fault.
15:48They had been sanctioned, encircled, undermined, attacked for decades and decades and decades.
15:54And they have done the best they could with what they have.
15:57It's far from over.
15:58They've eliminated these senior leaders, but there's a chain of command.
16:02There's continuity of agenda in Iran as well.
16:04They have a lot of military capabilities preserved.
16:07I think people are expecting some sort of massive retaliation against Israel.
16:14But all of these military capabilities Iran had were primarily designed to deter this from
16:19happening.
16:20Now that it has happened, what are they going to achieve except making people on the Internet
16:26feel emotionally satisfied through temporary, short-lived feeling of retribution?
16:32So we're at the edge of a very dangerous precipice.
16:37And a lot of this is going to be decided upon by what the multipolar world does in response
16:44to this.
16:45The U.S. is going to get away with this.
16:47And then they're going to do the exact same thing to Russia and China to a greater degree.
16:52It's inevitable.
16:53And that's got to be the biggest warning sign.
16:55Exactly as you're noting there, because even just looking at kind of comparing this to what
17:02we saw with the targeting of Hezbollah back in September, October, and the fact that now
17:08you have these latest strikes or targeting Iran's major general, the head of their Islamic
17:14Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as their chief of staff and several other commanders and
17:20nuclear scientists on top of that, now you have Israel coming out and saying, oh, this
17:26attack is going to be, they're making it sound like this is going to be a, you know, days
17:30long, if not weeks long attack.
17:32Clearly, the U.S. is on board and directly involved in that, right, in directing that attack
17:38on their end.
17:40And I know that we have heard from at least Russia.
17:44I was looking at the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement.
17:46They said that they strongly condemn the latest attacks on Iran, noting that unprovoked military
17:53strikes against a sovereign U.N. member state, its citizens, sleeping peaceful cities, and
17:59nuclear energy infrastructure facilities are categorically unacceptable.
18:04And, you know, it's been a tough position to be in because we've seen the ways in which
18:10there is an ongoing genocide that is being live streamed right before all of our eyes in
18:15Gaza and the international community, international law as a whole, has not been able to do anything
18:21to stop it, let alone any of the, you know, various other attacks that have been carried
18:25out in the region by Israel and the U.S.
18:29So when you look at the position that we're in right now, what are those concerns when it
18:33comes to what countries like Russia and China are capable of doing or even willing to do?
18:42Because as we've talked about before, when the U.S. is looking at containing Russia,
18:47they're doing this on purpose, right?
18:48They're creating all of these different conflicts and all of this chaos on purpose
18:53to put Russia in a position where it's so busy in Ukraine that it can't really do anything else
18:59or help any of its other allies.
19:02Absolutely.
19:02This is this goes back to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, his division of labor
19:08in Europe, in the Middle East, in the Asia-Pacific region, and also strategic sequencing that
19:13he has now brought up twice now in major public statements back in February in Europe and more
19:21recently just at the end of last month in Singapore at the Shangri-La Dialogue, where he basically
19:27put a bookend on his previous comments saying, we have Europe taking care of Ukraine and Russia
19:33right now so that we can, we neglected Asia for a generation.
19:37Now we're going to focus our attention, which means burn the whole place down.
19:41That's what they mean, because that's what they did for a generation elsewhere.
19:45So what is Russia and China going to do?
19:50You explained it perfectly.
19:51The U.S. deliberately has extended Russia, first preventing them from being able to preserve
19:57the government in Syria, and now Iran is being dismembered right now.
20:02And it's just only time is going to tell whether they're successful or not.
20:07The ability for Russia to significantly aid Iran is non-existent.
20:13They cannot.
20:14Iran is assisting Russia in their, their war with NATO in, in Ukraine and China.
20:22Also, they're all, they're all looking at the very big picture and the end game.
20:26And so just like when you're playing a game of chess and not to, to reduce this to a board
20:31game, but just to help people understand, you have a number of pieces and you have to
20:37make difficult decisions.
20:38You cannot keep them all, all the way to the end of the game, if you're playing against
20:42a capable player.
20:43So you have to pick and choose which ones you're going to keep at the end and which
20:47ones you're going to have to give up.
20:49Syria is a piece that has already been given up.
20:51Libya was a piece that had already been given up.
20:54And now Iran is sitting here.
20:56It was the weakest link among the three pillars of multipolarism the U.S. has been targeting.
21:02And it's, it's not looking very good.
21:06It's not looking good at all.
21:07And like you said, there's not much Russia and China can do, but Russia and China and the
21:12rest of the emerging multipolar world need to look at what just happened and realize this
21:17is how the U.S. is going to deal with them in turn.
21:21This is, when I say strategic sequencing, that is defeating all of these targeted U.S. nations
21:28in detail so the U.S. doesn't have to fight them at the same time.
21:31And they didn't want to fight the U.S. right now because they did not want to escalate.
21:35But the failure to, to unite against the U.S. now has allowed yet another nation to be taken
21:42off the board.
21:43Well, it's, it's not, it's not done yet, but again, it's not, it's not looking good.
21:48So this is something we'll have to wait and see what the Russian and Chinese governments
21:52actually do.
21:53This is, this directly affects them and bodes ill for them.
21:57Oh, absolutely.
21:58And now when it comes to some of the discourse that we've seen online, it's always interesting
22:04to me.
22:04A lot of people, they come out and they're, they're critical of Iran, right?
22:08They say that, oh, it's a paper tiger, that it should have done more, that it should have
22:13been the one launching more attacks targeting Israel.
22:16I know that there were reports that Iran launched over a hundred drones, that all of them were
22:21intercepted by Israel, the U.S. and company.
22:24But when it comes to Iran's capabilities, I mean, I know what you're laying out there
22:30is kind of bleak, right?
22:32This idea that, okay, they're putting off this attack for as long as possible.
22:36Obviously that they're doing everything that they can on their end.
22:40But even in this growing multipolar world, the U.S. still has a certain amount of power
22:46and a certain amount of ways in which it can still target these countries.
22:51And it has worked for years in order to plan all of this, to get us to this point.
22:58So how do you view Iran, the position that it's in?
23:01Is there anything that it could have done to avoid the attacks that just happened and are
23:07still occurring?
23:08Not really.
23:09I mean, what, what could they have done?
23:11People say you should have launched all your missiles at Israel.
23:14All that would have done is give Israel and the United States an excuse to, to do all
23:19of this sooner and, and to do it to a much greater degree right now, as, as it is.
23:26And the, and the U S policy papers all the way back from 2009 worried about this, that
23:30Iran would be very measured in its response.
23:32And it would make the U S and Israel look exactly like what they are, the aggressors carrying
23:37out an unjustified unilateral strike on a sovereign nation for no real reason at all.
23:43And the, the, the excuse that Iran might be getting nuclear weapons when we know Israel
23:49has nuclear weapons, the U S has nuclear weapons and has actually used them against other, another
23:53nation.
23:54That, that doesn't fly.
23:56That's not, that's not an acceptable excuse.
23:58That's not a good enough reason for some people maybe, but for most of the world, I think
24:04not.
24:04So right now the U S and Israel are showing their true colors.
24:08The, the mask is falling off all, all, only the most delusional people are going to continue
24:13to try to make excuses for the Trump administration at this point.
24:17I hope that's a very, very small number of people.
24:20I hope people, this is a huge wake up call.
24:23I hope they look at what happens, all of the information that was available before this
24:27happens to warn people that this was, what was going to happen.
24:30And I hope, I hope they're awake now and they're listening and they realize that the negotiations
24:34with Russia are the exact same game being, being played again.
24:39And there, there is no intention to accommodate or coexist with China either.
24:44This is all zero for the U S zero sum.
24:47They're fighting for their primacy.
24:49They will burn the planet down in its pursuit if they cannot get it.
24:53Yeah.
24:53Very, very telling.
24:55I mean, it's right there.
24:57And I know that in a lot of ways, it can feel bleak to look at the current situation that
25:03we're in, but I, I really appreciate the work that you're doing and have been doing, trying
25:08to not only warn people, but also wake them up to a lot of what we're seeing right now.
25:14And I appreciate you taking the time to join me today to break down and to educate us on
25:19the latest here.
