In this explosive follow-up episode of the Truth Hurts Show, former CIA officer John Kiriakou returns to reveal shocking truths about U.S. foreign policy, Iran, and how America is spiraling into dangerous territory.

John explains how every U.S. president refused Israel’s repeated demands to bomb Iran until now. He outlines how this shift has triggered one of the most unstable geopolitical periods in modern history. From CIA war games to top-secret tech at DARPA, John breaks down why U.S. war planners never have an exit strategy and how these mistakes have cost millions of lives.

He also tells the wild story of how Paramount Pictures hired him to rescue child actors in Afghanistan. With no passports, a secret layover in Iran, and 27 lives on the line, John pulled off a covert mission with zero backup. No one knew where he was. He could have vanished forever.

From his time inside the CIA to the night before the Iraq invasion, John gives firsthand accounts of internal government chaos, media lies, and why America is on the brink of collapse. He also reveals why he's already secured a Greek passport for himself and his kids just in case.

If you're ready to hear the truth behind the headlines from someone who’s lived it, this is the episode to watch.
