Retired US Navy Captain: ‘We could not accept a 1% threat of the Iranian regime building a nuclear weapon.’

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick becomes a whistleblower, breaking down the corruption schemes of major American companies. He himself once worked for US media corporations that were implicated in such schemes. Later in the program, RT European correspondent Chay Bowes joins Rick, and they discuss the EU’s ‘new Orban’ – Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev, who has blocked a number of anti-Russian sanctions and left the pro-Ukrainian Coalition of the Willing.

In the second part, Rick discusses the US war on Iran with retired American Navy captain Armen Kurdian, who is running for Congress. Kurdian backs all of Washington’s moves against Iran, justifying Operation Epic Fury and portraying Iran as an evil regime, while Rick challenges him with the facts. Kurdian was in Iran in 1975 before the Islamic Revolution, and he praises the regime of that time as democratic. Rick tells him he was also in Iran, in 2026, and says democracy has never left that nation. Catch all the hot debates here on RT or on BitChute at ‘ricksancheztv’.

Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
