Why This War? — The Motivations Behind the War on Iran

This special episode examines the motivations of the principal actors behind the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. It traces Benjamin Netanyahu’s thirty-four-year campaign against Iran, documents how President Trump was persuaded to launch the war he spent a decade opposing, and identifies the congressional and institutional figures across both parties who pushed for, enabled, or laid the groundwork for this conflict. The episode presents the strongest case for those who support the war before offering a libertarian, non-interventionist critique grounded in documented evidence, sourced quotations, and clearly labeled analysis.
