On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’, Sharmine Narwani shares how Iran's massive geographic advantages, from the Strait of Hormuz to its mountain terrain, make it untouchable. She says Bibi needs the war to survive politically, but Trump will lose if the conflict continues. Narwani details the inevitable collision between the two leaders.

She is confident alternative networks and organic social media tore down the old propaganda machine. You will see why the "anti-semite" label no longer stops debate and why elites cannot buy back public trust.

She says that by turning itself into a global pariah, Israel has compromised the safety of Jewish people worldwide. Narwani confronts the hard truth about Lebanon, Gaza, and why no amount of U.S. backing can fix Israel's broken military reality. Watch the raw geopolitical truth, only on RT.

In this episode of RT's 'Sanchez Effect,' Rick looks at how Zelensky keeps burning down Ukraine’s relations with its neighbours. That’s as Kiev has recently been provoking Belarus. On top of that, Zelensky was stripped of a prestigious state award by Poland after renaming an elite Ukrainian unit after an infamous pro-Nazi brigade from World War Two. Rick also got to discuss the Iran war and U.S. internal affairs with Donald Trump’s former lawyer Robert Barnes. The legal expert said the American president has strayed from his battle against the deep state, but there is hope. According to Mr. Barnes, JD Vance is still fighting to undermine hawkish policies, with the current talks being an indication that the pro-peace Vance has won at least a temporary victory over figures such as pro-war Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
