Michael Ledeen on the Potential Collapse of Iran's Khomeinist Regime and America's Role, the False Sunni-Shia Jihadist Split, IC and Law Enforcement Sacking of Pro-Israel Political Opponents, Why Gen. Flynn Was Targeted and May Have Falsely Pled Guil

August 08, 2018

Iran expert Michael Ledeen chats with Ben Weingarten on whether Iran's regime will survive, what the US might do to help topple it, the phony Sunni-Shia split, Iran's dissidents and more. We also discuss historical targeting by the NatSec and foreign policy establishment of pro-Israel and/or Iran hawks, and the related sackings of Larry Franklin and Gen Michael Flynn. Ledeen, who co-authored a book with Flynn, surmises Flynn falsely pled guilty, and explains why he believes Flynn was politically targeted.
