We’ve got solid intel that Saudi Arabia has a nuclear bomb, and the US is fully aware of it’ – Hussein Kanani

This explosive claim from the general hits hard in the latest episode of Sanchez Effect – straight out of Tehran, where Rick is recording a series of special reports from the country. We’ve reached out to Saudi Arabia – a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty – for comment, so stay tuned for their response. With tensions rising in the region and the looming threat of all-out war, both Tehran and Washington are trading barbs while their diplomatic and military teams gear up for any scenario.

Meanwhile, the general also claims that none other than Mossad and the CIA are behind the protests in his country, aiming to not just topple the government but to fracture Iran entirely and exploit it. He asserts that if the US attacks, Tehran’s first strike might not target American bases but could very well see missiles headed straight for Israel instead.

And don’t forget about the Strait of Hormuz – former high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Hussein Kanani says that will be shut down as well. He insists that while Tehran doesn’t want to harm the economies of China or Russia, it may have no choice but to use this move as leverage in response to Washington’s provocations. He says the US is playing a game of chicken with Iran, trying to see who’ll flinch first. But Tehran? They’re not just playing checkers; they’re strategizing ten moves ahead in a game of chess. What will come out of this game? To learn more – tune in to the latest episode, only on RT.
