🔥 Nuclear Iran, Rising Antisemitism, and the Collapse of Moral Clarity — Are We Sleepwalking Into Disaster?

The world feels like it’s accelerating toward something dangerous—and few are willing to say it out loud.

In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron tackles the Iran Deal, the growing threat of a nuclear Iran, Trump’s political trajectory, rising antisemitism, and the economic insanity behind tariffs and regulation. From geopolitics to culture to personal values, this episode connects the dots most commentators refuse to.

Why is antisemitism surging before Israel even responds to attacks?
What would a nuclear Iran actually mean for the West?
Is Trump a solution—or a symptom?
And are we witnessing the moral collapse of an entire generation?

This is not surface-level commentary. This is a deep dive into the ideas shaping our future—and the consequences of getting them wrong.

Stay through the live Q&A where Yaron tackles brutal audience questions on excellence vs abuse, nihilism, capitalism’s critics, and how to deal with betrayal in your personal life.
