In this gripping episode of 'The World According To Ben Stein', hosts Ben Stein and Judah Friedman tackle the thorny issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions and the geopolitical complexities surrounding it. The conversation begins with an analysis of a recent military action, purportedly led by former President Trump, targeting Iran's nuclear sites.

The duo shares a candid discussion on the potential for uprisings within Iran, drawing historical parallels to other police states where uprisings were notably absent.
