Summary
What if everything America was told about Iran was part of a bigger story? In this explosive episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean Kelly sits down with Kawa Mawlayee to break down drones, modern warfare, Iran, Israel, propaganda, political influence, AI surveillance, and why so many Americans are losing trust in the system. Kawa shares his perspective as an Afghan-born Muslim, former Green Beret, military veteran, trainer, and business owner. He explains why drone warfare is changing everything, why Ukraine became the classroom for the future of war, and why the Middle East is far more complicated than the headlines make it seem. The conversation moves from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to oil, gas prices, foreign lobbying, media narratives, America First politics, and the growing frustration with leaders who say one thing while serving another agenda.
