Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 17: Iran, Israel, and the War Within – June 24, 2025

Host Gordon McCormick (Ghost) unpacks the escalating geopolitical crisis surrounding Israel, Iran, and U.S. foreign policy.

The episode dives deep into Israel’s settler movement, its treatment of Palestinians, and the structure of Israeli governance, while exploring the strategic importance of Iran in the global trade and energy game. Ghost also evaluates Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s regime change ambitions, exposing potential foreign influence and questioning the morality and effectiveness of externally imposed political upheaval. Packed with visuals, sourced articles, and hard-hitting analysis, this is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the deeper motives behind the Middle East’s flashpoints.
