17:10Now PlayingU.S. Economic War Crimes ACTUALLY Caused Iranian Protests! - Admits U.S. Treasury Secretary
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe now know that U.S. sanctions on Iran have been a deliberate form of economic warfare thanks to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly admitting that “maximum pressure” collapsed Iran’s currency, crippled imports, and drove people into the streets.
Jimmy and guest Jeffrey Sachs criticize the mainstream media for ignoring these admissions and instead framing Iranian protests solely as a result of domestic mismanagement, while Sachs calls the policy illegal under international law and a form of collective punishment.
The discussion broadens to the long history of U.S. and Israeli efforts to dominate the Middle East, portraying sanctions as a regime-change tool tied to regional hegemony rather than human rights. The episode concludes by warning that overusing sanctions is undermining the U.S. dollar’s global dominance, accelerating de-dollarization, and setting the stage for long-term American economic decline.
