Ex-CIA Officer John Kiriakou on the Truth About Iran, False Flags, and What’s Really Happening in DC

In this incisive episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, former CIA officer John Kiriakou delivers a blistering critique of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the decision to launch a war against Iran. Drawing on decades of intelligence experience, Kiriakou argues that the war was driven not by U.S. national interest but by Israel’s strategic goals, with the U.S. government failing to consult allies, misrepresenting Iran’s nuclear threat, and ignoring the realities of Iranian society. He exposes a pattern of deception, including the deliberate flooding of Afghanistan with heroin to weaken Iran and Russia, and reveals how the CIA has become politicized and disconnected from its mission. Kiriakou also condemns the dismantling of diplomatic infrastructure, the suppression of intelligence leads related to assassination attempts on the president, and the erosion of American sovereignty due to the influence of the Israeli lobby. He calls for a return to principled governance, the reestablishment of diplomacy, and the reform of intelligence agencies to restore trust and national purpose.
