Bannon and Carlson Warn of Regime Change in Iran

The conversation this week between Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson has echoed powerfully across conservative intellectual circles—not just because of the content, but because of the urgent warning both men issued with clarity: the United States is dangerously close to pursuing a policy of regime change in Iran, once again without public consultation, without popular mandate, and with consequences that could shake global stability.

Far from a casual opinion or editorial commentary, their arguments are part of a structured critique of how U.S. foreign policy has been handled over recent decades. According to Bannon and Carlson, there is a disturbing continuity across administrations—regardless of party—where the U.S. military has been used as a tool for geopolitical engineering, without transparency, without accountability, and most alarmingly, without the consent of the American people who ultimately bear the human and economic cost.

The Warning of a Repeating Pattern
The analysis they share highlights a clear pattern: the justification of military interventions using vague existential threats or humanitarian motives, often with poorly defined objectives. In the current case, the apparent aim is to stop Iran’s nuclear program. However, recent actions—including intelligence operations, targeted strikes, and efforts to destabilize Iran’s internal power structures—suggest a broader strategy aimed at regime removal.

This model has already proven disastrous in places like Iraq, Syria, and Libya. In every one of those cases, U.S. intervention failed to deliver long-term stability and instead left behind power vacuums filled by radical groups, terrorism, and massive migration crises, the consequences of which still reverberate across Europe.

Europe as a Case Study in Induced Collapse
One of the strongest points raised in their discussion is the long-term impact of U.S.-supported interventionism in the Middle East on Europe. The destruction of Arab nations through foreign wars triggered massive demographic displacement, leading to the slow but devastating erosion of Europe’s cultural fabric.

That crisis was no accident. It was the direct result of wars justified by vague moral rhetoric and empty promises of democratization—promises that were never fulfilled.

Europe, the cradle of Western Christian civilization, has since witnessed its historical identity collapse under demographic pressure, imported sectarian violence, and the loss of border control. Behind this collapse are decisions made in Washington—decisions made without fully assessing their global impact, and certainly without debate among the American public.

The People Left Out of Critical Decisions
Both Bannon and Carlson emphasize a point that should concern every true democrat: major decisions about war are being made without involving the American people. There are no referendums, no open debates, not even a clear narrative from the federal government explaining why direct intervention in Iran would be necessary.

The American people have already paid for past mistakes in Iraq and Afghanistan—with blood and debt. Today, with an economy under pressure, an out-of-control southern border, and worsening internal divisions, pushing the country into another war with unclear objectives would be a betrayal of the national interest.

The Criminalization of Dissent and Collapse of Debate
Another disturbing element highlighted in their conversation is the current state of public discourse around sensitive foreign policy issues such as Israel, Iran, and the Middle East. Rather than fostering open dialogue, the ruling elite has opted to silence, cancel, and stigmatize anyone who dares question the consensus, labeling them Holocaust deniers or anti-Semites—even when they are simply asking for accountability and strategic clarity.

This climate of intellectual intolerance, fueled by progressive media, universities, and certain security agencies, is not only anti-democratic—it is dangerous. It prevents meaningful assessment of past errors and makes it more likely they will be repeated.

A Foreign Policy Blind to Cultural Reality
Bannon and Carlson are not pacifists, nor are they naïve. Both understand the real threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran. However, they reject the notion that all-out war is the only option, especially when it ignores the cultural, historical, and geopolitical complexities of the region.

To forcibly impose regime change on ancient societies without understanding their internal dynamics is not just a strategic mistake—it’s imperial arrogance disguised as universal values. The result is not liberty—but chaos.

The United States Needs a Patriotic, Accountable Foreign Policy
The conversation between Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson is not merely a criticism of current policies—it is an urgent call to action. The United States must reclaim a foreign policy rooted in its true national interests, with active participation from its citizens, and with respect for truth and accountability.

If the federal government is planning a regime change operation in Iran, it must say so openly, and explain how that action would affect U.S. soldiers, the economy, international alliances, and ordinary citizens. The people have a right to know—before it’s too late.

We cannot afford to repeat a familiar pattern where today’s “existential threat” is used to justify tomorrow’s war, without admitting that the cost will fall on the sons and daughters of the United States—not on the architects in Washington boardrooms.
