Iran is recruiting children as young as 12 to participate in military-related roles, including manning checkpoints, gathering intelligence, and carrying out patrols, amid escalating conflict with the U.S. and Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a campaign called “Homeland-Defending Combatants for Iran,” announced by IRGC official Rahim Nadali on March 26, 2026, which encourages volunteers aged 12 and above to register at Basij bases in mosques across Tehran.

Are Tucker, Tate & Candace Being FOOLED? The Truth About the ’Islamic Right'
In this video, Nick Freitas discusses what he views as a fundamental miscalculation by both the political left and certain elements of the right regarding their engagement with the Islamic world and Sharia principles.
Key Takeaways:
The Left's Misstep (0:00 - 3:13): The speaker argues that left-wing parties (like the UK Labor Party) welcomed Islamic immigration expecting future political alignment. However, he contends that once these communities reach a critical mass, they often prioritize their own traditions—such as banning LGBTQ+ flags—rather than adopting Western leftist values. He describes this as a failure of the 'intersectional' model.
The Right's Misstep (3:26 - 10:07):Freitas challenges prominent conservative figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Andrew Tate for what he calls an 'absurd' attempt to defend Islam or Sharia as a potential solution to Western 'degeneracy' or 'wokeism'. He argues these figures are being manipulated by surface-level observations and are failing to recognize that these cultures are inherently incompatible with constitutional principles.
The Fallacy of 'Foreign Policy' (11:13 - 14:00): A major portion of the video (11:13 - 13:43) is dedicated to debunking the narrative that conflict with the Islamic world is solely the result of American foreign policy. Freitas cites historical examples, such as the Barbary pirates, to argue that this is an ideological conflict rather than a reaction to specific government actions.
The 'Incompatibility' Argument (13:10 - 16:13): The creator concludes that both the left and certain parts of the right fail to take Islamist objectives at their word. He asserts that the goal is global conquest and the implementation of Sharia, and that relying on a temporary alliance with such groups will ultimately lead to failure for both political sides.
