War Starts in the Mind: The Psychology Behind Iran, Israel & USA in 2026

Описание: War doesn't start on the battlefield — it starts in the mind.

Before missiles are launched, before borders are crossed,
a set of psychological mechanisms locks nations into conflict:
mirror-image perception, collective trauma, zero-sum thinking,
and the systematic dehumanization of the enemy.

In this video, we apply the psychology of conflict to one of
the most volatile geopolitical situations of 2026 —
Iran, Israel, and the United States — and ask: why is compromise
so psychologically impossible for all three sides?

🧠 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✔ Mirror-image perception — why each side sees itself as the victim
✔ Collective national trauma and how it shapes foreign policy decisions
✔ Zero-sum thinking — why every gain for "them" feels like a loss for "us"
✔ Enemy image and dehumanization — the psychological step before violence
✔ Why compromise feels like weakness — and the cognitive roots of escalation
✔ What psychology tells us about breaking conflict cycles
