00:00 - Iran War Support
00:20 - What are the chances that Iran already has nuclear weapons?
DeathToWarMongers, DownFallUSA, DownFallIsrahell 🎉
02:42 - Was the Iran Nuclear Deal a good thing?
05:39 - Is Iran really that much of a threat to the United States of America?
could we have him again with updates?
07:32 - Why are people talking about the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter so much?
09:45 - What would a realistic ‘win’ for the US even look like in the Iran war?
Love love love his talks, better than anyone
11:19 - Why is Iran bombing seemingly completely unrelated countries?
13:06 - If President Trump ordered a ground invasion of Iran, would it be a long war or an easy victory?
Then they should come out and say they don’t have a nuclear program so they stoping hit.
14:41 - Do Saudi Arabia and Iran hate each other?
16:56 - Explain like I’m five: who is Hezbollah?
It surprises me that someone who is a professor at a reputable university doesn’t know that the original and historical name of the Persian Gulf is the Persian Gulf, and instead uses a fake and unscientific title.
19:18 - Why does Iran hate the USA and Israel?

With all due respect, obviously you as a university professor try your hardest to give opinions as a neutral point of view and hide your biases, I really do appreciate that, but when you use the word "we" and "us" according to USA, by the very definition of the word you may and CAN not be defined as a neutral source, and again, thanks for the information but I assume someone out of USA and also IRAN would be a better option!

8:04 THE PERSIAN GULF. The history guy doesn't know much history. He's an Arab sooo...
@nazigol289Calling the Persian gulf the arabian gulf is like calling gulf of Mexico, gulf of America
@statisticallyspeaking2067im sorry but you cant be neutral and also have american bases. that's not how that works. those countries have our bases and thus those countries are our guys
@annaliseolson3984"now that we're at war yes they're a threat!"
You mean the war that you started? By killing school girls?
The most shallow idiot answers I have heard
@noorkhamdanIranian here that lion and sun flag is not our flag change it
@MahdiHaghighi-r1uDon't say arab gulf, it's PERSIAN gulf . Do NOT forget that. Say it multiple times you'll get used to it
@Miles-Sadrayou think Trump has any strategic objectives. lol
@kamheedIt's not the Iranians who have to answer to history, it's you who are providing this false information to others.
@MohammadB-t3mWe, the people of Iran and the Iranian government, have no problem with the people of America. Our main problem is the dirty politicians of America, who have been sanctioning us for 47 years and harming the Muslim people. We, the people of Iran, will not allow America to interfere in our country, and the main power in Iran is the people. The people of America know that it is America itself that is hostile to us and is dropping bombs on us. I am saddened by your incorrect analysis. The reason Hezbollah killed the Americans was because they were planning to attack their country with the Israelis.
@MohammadB-t3mPlease please for the love of everything DO NOT call it IRAN did this IRAN did that.We the people are not the regime. This is the "Islamic Republic" not "IRAN". DO not stain the name "IRAN".
@MonstersOnEarthThree videos in a row about Iran yet not a single mention of the regime’s massacre of more than 40,000 Iranians in January 2026...
@invulnerablyThis gentleman should be widely and I mean widely broadcasted.
@FernandoGarcia-u7r19:20 Dictatorships need enemy to survive. They must convince their supporters that the government is protecting them against enemy.
@m-ym330680% enegy of IAEA is on Iran and it's not bad deal for the west? west never gave Iran money. This deal was done by people who betrayed Iran.
@Mohammad-nn8olWe do support the american and israeli forces, and ofcourse you root for "it would take long"
Unbelievable
08:07 arabs don't have a gulf "professor", it's Persian Gulf forever
@techbodamPersian gulf only
@AlirezaNe-j4g"Persian Arabian Gulf"was the evidence of your neutrality.Never heard that one before,personally.
@Kosar-j2fHey, Iranian here, just had to say that what he is referring to as "Iran" is basically poined towards the government, not the people.
Iranians in many cases disagree, yet aome agree, to the government acts. So please don't link any of these straight to Iranian people around, cause many do not believe in these idiologies.
Love to the world
(Persian Gulf*) Arabian Gulf is our toilet
@ermia1152Wait perisan arabian gulf what the f*ck is that ?

8:08 It's Persian gulf 😊
@ItaboutFifi-86088:08 persian gulf is the name. It is wierd that someone like you with that much of knowledge use the word that is not correct and doesn't exist aka arabian gulf
@smh171519:35 The clerics that came to rule Iran actualy hated Mossadegh back then and were happy that he was removed. Khomeini claimed in one of his friday prayer sermons that Mossadegh was about to deliver a blow to Islam and was smitten for it. The CIA even acknowledged this in their profile on Khomeini
@pootis4986Iran propaganda
@Guy-z4s3u8:09 It's Persian Gulf . never called Arabian in any historical books. Persian gulf belongs to the Persians . I thought you're legit man
@maede2581It's Persian Gulf. Not persian ara*ian gulf. Never been for thousands of years. Just stick with the truth.

@نیلوفرحاتمی-ر5سbut you are not saying why they took them as hostage...why not remind what us was dome

Are you funded by arabs or do you have no education good buddy ?
Please bring Prof. Masoud back! He answered questions I didn't even know I had in a clear, concise, and rich way. The maps are very helpful.
@avocadomonkey4892The hostages in Iran it was big mistake, the reason for their action was they were afraid that empire come and overthrow their government again like what they have done to Masadegh. Also Iran have pay the penalties with money for their wrong action. about attacking Gcc all of them especially Bahrain,UAE and Saudi have been attacked Iran too. There was Chinese dron and jet that was only bought by these countries, seen and capture by people. Recently NYT share this news too. Hope peace come back we all brothers and sisters.
