Kurginyan: If Iran withstands US’ blow it will become new regional leader

08.05.2026, Aleksandrovskoye.

It is enough for Iran to withstand US aggression, and other countries will want to join it, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and philosopher Sergey Kurginyan said on April 17 on the Conversation with a Sage program on Radio Zvezda.

The analyst noted that US President Donald Trump, having received an unexpected “asymmetric” rebuff from Iran, “got mad and embarrassed.” This is “a sort of embarrassment of the system which becomes really indicative of something serious,” he noted.

Kurginyan expressed confidence that there are people behind the US leader who would be happy to “destroy the world to some extent” in order to create, without Trump, Vance, etc., a different, absolutely anti-humane, Nazi kind of an order. These people exist, they stay in the shadow, the analyst says. “They promoted Trump as a convincing clown and destructor. And they are waiting for their time to come,” he warned.

“If a seriously unhealthy person – this is an ultimate hypothesis, I am saying this with a fifty-fifty chance, we do not have [Trump’s] medical record available – is combined with such forces, then we must expect very dangerous events. In any case, America must either collapse totally (in which I do not believe, it will not leave without a fight) or face the challenge of China’s growing power, which benefited a lot from Trump’s adventure in Iran,” Sergey Kurginyan comments.

For Iran, he continues, it is enough to withstand in this “adventure” and become a power to have other countries joining it.

“If Iran withstands it, if no fifth column, absolutely hidden, blows up, which might well be prepared by Mossad etc., and if everything keeps going as it goes now, then Iran is a new regional leader. Iran is a reinforced power, and everyone will be happy to reconstruct the destroyed as soon as they realize that this is a power. Everyone wants to join power,” the political scientist comments.

In these conditions, the US will become even more unstable while China will grow. Therefore, the United States will have to react to this, with or without Trump, Kurginyan believes.

“I repeat what I have said many times: the Anglo-Saxon will never give up. Before giving up he will make a move. And everyone must be prepared for this, including our Motherland,” the leader of the Essence of Time movement concluded.
