Mentor Sessions Ep. 068: Who Really Controls When the Iran War Ends, Why the World Will Be Unrecognizable in Just 3-5 Years, and How Trump Is Long Bitcoin While Asset Stripping America | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon The Iran conflict isn't just a military standoff — it's a financial and geopolitical operation with specific power players steering the outcome. Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon name them. In this conversation, Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon break down the hidden architecture behind the Iran war in 2026 — who controls its escalation, who benefits from its continuation, and why the official narrative misses the real story. You'll learn which financial and geopolitical factions have the most to gain from prolonged conflict, why the war's end date is not determined by military outcomes, and how this connects to the broader global monetary reset both guests have been tracking for years. You'll also see why Simon Dixon argues this is fundamentally a financial operation dressed as a military one — and what that means for Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset in a world fracturing along these fault lines. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro 1:07 – Who ultimately controls when the Iran war ends 1:37 – Alex Krainer frames the conflict's true nature 9:59 – The financial powers driving the Iran operation 11:16 – Simon Dixon on the monetary reset connection 22:24 – Which faction benefits most from prolonged conflict 29:33 – Why the media narrative misses the real story 35:26 – The Iran timeline nobody is discussing in 2026 55:56 – What escalation means for Bitcoin and hard assets 1:07:10 – How this conflict ends — and who decides 1:26:48 – Final takes from Krainer and Dixon 🔗 Links & Resources: • Alex Krainer on X: https://x.com/NakedHedgie • Simon Dixon on X: https://x.com/Simon…
