The Iran War Expert: The Most Dangerous Stage Begins Now

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

4 weeks ago he predicted America would send troops to Iran, now Robert Pape returns to reveal what could happen next!


Robert Pape is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and one of the world's leading authorities on military strategy and security affairs. He has advised every White House since 9/11 on military strategy and bombing campaigns and is the author of 'Our Own Worst Enemies: America and the Age of Violent Populism'.


He explains:

◼ The 4-stage escalation trap and why every prediction he made has come true

◼ How Iran and Russia controlling 30% of the world's oil could crash your economy

◼ Why killing Iran's leaders is making the country stronger, not weaker

◼ Why America can bomb Iran's nuclear sites but still can't stop them getting the bomb

◼ The only deal that could stop Iran getting nuclear weapons and why it probably won't happen
