The Iran War, China’s Gas Station, and Hidden Links to Riots in France | Richard Miniter
American Thought LeadersShow Notes
“When you see the recent riots, destruction of stores, looting, burning [of] historic buildings, including churches ... you have to realize these things do not happen spontaneously,” says investigative journalist and bestselling author Richard Miniter.
What is the link between what’s unfolding on the streets of France and the Iranian regime? Why might Iran be interested in influencing events in Europe—and is there a broader connection to the Iran war? And what is U.S. President Donald Trump’s end game for the region? “What hasn’t been explained—and is non-obvious to the American public—is that Iran is the gas station of Xi Jinping,” Miniter says. “What’s going on in Iran is designed to prevent a war off the coast of China in Taiwan.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
