Iran Conflict Explained | The Liz Truss Show | with Fred Fleitz
About this episode
In this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz Truss speaks with Fred Fleitz, Vice Chairman of the America First Policy Institute and former CIA analyst, about the escalating conflict with Iran and the geopolitical consequences for the West.
They discuss President Trump’s strikes on Iran, the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear programme, and the role of the foreign policy establishment often described as the “Deep State”. Liz and Fred also examine the response from the UK government, including criticism of Keir Starmer’s reluctance to fully support the United States.
The conversation explores Iran’s weakening military position, the role of China and Russia as proxy supporters, and whether internal rebellion could eventually topple the Iranian regime. They also discuss the wider ideological battle between globalist institutions and the emerging “America First” doctrine shaping Western foreign policy.
Liz Truss also reflects on how bureaucratic institutions, both in Britain and the United States, influence government policy and whether democratic governments can regain control over entrenched administrative systems.
