Leaks Expose Iran War Damage, Iranian Capability (S01E152)

Thursday, September 17, 2026, Istanbul

Several leaks reported in media in recent days showcased just how badly the US has been lying about the impact of the war, and Iran’s capabilities.

In the latest FREE edition of badlands, I discuss reports by CBS News, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN that showed the extent of the damage caused by Iran’s attacks on the Arabian Peninsula and its under-appreciated capabilities.

In interviews with NewsX World, I also discuss depleted US weapons stockpiles, Donald Trump’s dishonesty, and the latest claims and counter-claims from Yemen.
