From Failed Coup to Possible Hot War With Iran
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, U.S. military actions signal a potential shift toward direct confrontation with Iran, warn military experts such as Colonel Douglas Macgregor (Ret.). In a January 26 interview at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, Macgregor detailed how failed CIA and Mossad efforts to exploit Iranian protests have paved the way for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push for all-out war — now seemingly manifesting in emergency U.S. troop deployments to Israel.
Macgregor explained that Iran’s recent demonstrations, sparked by severe economic hardships from U.S. sanctions, began as legitimate grievances over inflation and currency devaluation. However, these protests were hijacked by external forces. Mossad, in collaboration with the CIA, supplied 40,000 Starlink terminals to orchestrate a violent regime change, in an attempt to install a pro-Western government. The operation backfired: Iranian authorities captured around 6,000 operatives, many executed as traitors. This failure not only strengthened Iran’s internal cohesion but also bolstered its military capabilities, leaving the regime more resilient than before U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites in June 2025.
