Ex-CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock sat down with Afshin Rattansi on Going Underground to discuss some of the most contentious geopolitical questions of the past decade.

The conversation covered:

• The CIA's alleged involvement in Ukraine's 2014 Maidan coup
• Finfrock's advice to Iranian leadership as U.S. pressure intensifies
• Whether the CIA staged the 2013 chemical attacks in Syria
• Claims that Israel deliberately escalated war with Iran to weaken Gulf Cooperation Council countries

Finfrock, who spent years running covert operations, was pressed on these flashpoints in a wide-ranging interview that challenges official narratives on multiple fronts.
