About this listen

This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen steps back from the daily chaos to trace how the U.S.-Iran relationship; from early oil extraction and Western intervention to coups, sanctions, and the rise of the modern Iranian regime.

Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) breaks down how Iran’s oil wealth was exploited for decades and why the country’s current strategy is rooted in economic warfare, not military dominance. That includes the often-overlooked role of dollar-denominated debt and the global demand for U.S. currency. Military strategist Chad Scott explains how U.S. decisions, from the 1953 Iranian coup d’état to backing Iraq and beyond, helped shape the adversary it faces today. We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.
