Ex-CIA officer: Netanyahu source of Iran collapse idea

In a conversation on Tucker Carlson's platform, former CIA officer John Kiriakou asserted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the likely source of President Donald Trump's belief that the Iranian government would collapse swiftly under pressure. Kiriakou stated that this assessment contradicts decades of consistent CIA analysis, which does not support such a rapid outcome. He argued that the situation cannot be resolved by simply "firing a couple of rockets," implying the administration's strategy is based on flawed intelligence.
