On this episode of Nothing But the Truth, Ambassador Yoram Ettinger joins Trudy Stern to deliver a stark warning about the true nature of negotiations with Iran. Drawing a sharp distinction between Western diplomacy and what he calls the “Ayatollah dictionary,” Ettinger argues that Tehran views negotiations as a tactic to stall, rebuild military capabilities, and advance long-term global ambitions against the United States. The conversation expands beyond Iran’s nuclear program to examine its ballistic missile development, terror proxy networks, sleeper cells, and deepening foothold in Latin America—particularly through alliances with drug cartels and anti-American regimes. Ettinger makes the case that Iran’s strategy is not just about Israel or regional dominance, but about directly challenging U.S. national security and reshaping the global balance of power.
