I sit down with Chris Helali of DD Geopolitics—one of the fastest-rising geopolitical commentators online, with over 495,000 followers on X. Chris brings a unique perspective on Iran. Born in the United States with Iranian roots and fluent in Persian, he offers rare insight into how Iran sees the world—and how the world misunderstands Iran. We break down the real history between the United States and Iran, including decades of sanctions, political tension, and missed opportunities. More importantly, we explore how these dynamics are shaping today’s escalating conflict in the Middle East. Is Iran truly isolated… or has the West completely misread its position? And what role do global powers like China and Russia play in all of this? 🔴 Follow Christopher's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UCa77CY6tFsk58fEbbx3l1jQ 🔴 Follow DD Geopolitics YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UCN_fqUm92uifzkR1ud7vATw 🔴 Follow DD Geopolitics X: https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics 00:00 - Intro to Chris Helali 01:52 - What is Biggest Misconception on Iran? 07:23 - Did US Sanctions Start this War? 18:44 - Is Iran Winning the War? 29:54 - How Long Can Iran Control the Strait of Hormuz? 39:19 - How Will the Iran War End? 46:30 - Final Thoughts ✅ Join our new Locals Community here: https://cyrusjanssen.locals.com/ ✅ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxEQsjgRRfGWiJJu_PDygxw/join -------------------------- If you'd like to support the channel / 如果你想支持我的频道: 🅿️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cyrusjanssen ☕ Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyrusjanssen 🧧 WeChat / 微信: https://prnt.sc/u3inr6 ➡️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8VB8979JHJ97W ₿ Bitcoin: 32go3tLiu88jibJhWgK3RstmXsW2FFELJ8 -------------------------- ✅ Subscribe to my newsletter: http://cyrusjanssen.substack.com ✅ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cyrusjanssen?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cyrustalkschina ✅ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecyrusjanssen ✅ 西瓜视频：https://www.ixigua.com/home/4468069057169668 ✅ B站视频：https://space.bilibili.com/1052709457 ✅ 抖音：@温哥华老外 -------------------------- 📸 Products I use to Produce my Vlogs: Camera: https://amzn.to/2M9pWqx Tripod: https://amzn.to/2OUz2dh Microphone: https://amzn.to/2u1oJNs Lighting: https://amzn.to/2UWkSw8 Drone: https://amzn.to/3jw1WxF #iran #iranisraelwar #iranwar
