To Understand Iran’s 150-Year Fight, Follow the Trail of Blood and Oil
What if I were to tell you that once there was a time when Iran and the U.S. had good relations and that the U.S. was in fact the leading promoter and supporter of Iran’s sovereignty?

Tucker Carlson accused of pushing ‘Russian propaganda’ [VIDEO]
In previous pieces examining Tucker Carlson’s very honest analysis, we also saw how at times it gets blown to shreds by his own defensive behavior when questioned.
