Nach dem Tod von Ayatollah Ali Khamenei und dem Beginn militärischer Angriffe befindet sich Iran in einem emotionalen Ausnahmezustand. Während die einen in den Strassen jubeln und den Sturz des Regimes herbeisehnen, trauern andere um den verstorbenen Führer. Der Journalist Teseo La Marca konnte trotz Internetsperren mit Menschen in Iran sprechen. Viele berichten, sie würden sich weniger vor Krieg und Bomben fürchten, als vor dem islamistischen Regime. Deshalb befürworten sie den Krieg. Eine Minderheit jedoch ist bereit, für das System zu kämpfen, bis zum Tod. Trotz dieser Spaltung und der Ungewissheit zeigt sich eine neue Entschlossenheit in der Bevölkerung, die aktuelle Schwäche des Regimes als historische Chance zu nutzen.

Operation Epic Fury / Rising Lion: Inside the U.S. / Israel Strike on Iran | war powers, nuclear threat, regional fallout, and consequences at home. a coordinated U.S. and Israeli strike — hit more than 1,000 Iranian military and nuclear-linked targets, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering immediate retaliation across the region. In this episode, we break down what led to the strike, the administration's red lines, and the intelligence claims surrounding Iran's uranium enrichment. We examine the latest IAEA findings, Tehran's 60% enriched uranium stockpile, and the debate over whether Iran was truly days from a nuclear breakout — or whether diplomacy still had runway. We also tackle the constitutional question head-on: Did the President violate the War Powers Resolution? We walk through the legal framework, historical precedent, executive authority, congressional notification requirements, and what critics on Capitol Hill are arguing versus what the administration claims is firmly within presidential power. Beyond the missiles and airstrikes, we explore the deeper regional fault line shaping this conflict — the 1,400-year-old Sunni–Shia divide. Iran as the dominant Shia power. The Sunni Gulf monarchies calculating survival. Hezbollah's entry into the fight. The internal Muslim conflict that predates modern borders — and why it still dictates alliances, proxy wars, and regional escalation today. We break down the global chessboard: Israel's security calculus, Gulf state vulnerability, NATO positioning, China's oil dependency, Russia's military coordination with Tehran, and what this means for great-power competition. Then we analyze reactions at home — on both sides of the aisle. Democrats raising constitutional and escalation concerns. Progressives framing the strike as Western interventionism. Libertarians warning of endless war and blowback. Conservatives divided between America First restraint and muscular deterrence. Who supports it. Who opposes it. And why. We also examine the domestic consequences: • The Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices • Inflation risk tied to energy markets • Terror retaliation and asymmetric threats • The power vacuum inside Iran — IRGC control, succession scenarios, and regime-change speculation Was this preemptive defense? Strategic decapitation? Or the start of a wider regional war? This is a full geopolitical and constitutional breakdown of Operation Epic Fury — separating intelligence from rhetoric, law from politics, and strategy from media spin. Like. Share. Subscribe.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iranian clerics have chosen the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to lead the regime. But even as Tehran projects stability, I'll break down the military math and explain why some hard-liners may be uneasy with what looks like dynastic succession. Spain denies U.S. forces access to key military bases tied to the Iran campaign, exposing cracks inside the Western alliance. Pakistan and Afghanistan trade cross-border strikes for a fifth straight day, raising the risk of further regional instability.

There's continued fallout from the United States of America's recent decisions related to using its military to attack the nation of Iran and kill its leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Please join our host, Mike Slater, as he speaks with Breitbart London Bureau Chief Oliver about the European reactions to these attacks. Following that, Mr. Slater chats with Dr. Jacob Pursley, a missionary in Armenia, about how all of this fresh war in the Middle East will impact his crusade to spread the Christian word!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the hands of the United States marks the end of nearly four decades of authoritarian theocracy in Iran. Hawk reads and analyzes a piece from The Atlantic by Karim Sadjadpour examining Khamenei's life, his ruthless consolidation of power through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and how the Islamic Republic of Iran was built on three ideological pillars: death to America, death to Israel, and the forced covering of women. Drawing direct parallels to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hawk walks through the Taliban's systematic oppression of women since retaking power in 2021, from banning girls from school after age 12 to prohibiting women from appearing in public without a burka. The comparison extends to white Christian nationalism, Project 2025, and the Heritage Foundation, examining how fundamentalist religion across Islam, Christianity, and other faiths has long been weaponized by insecure men to control and silence women and girls. The IRGC's role as Khamenei's political and economic power base mirrors how Trump has used loyal institutions to consolidate control. Eric Hoffer's observation that mass movements require belief in a devil, not God, applies as much to MAGA's targeting of immigrants, trans people, and the left as it did to Khamenei's America. The Iranian government's killing of 7,000 to 10,000 protesters over economic grievances, while spending on proxy wars instead of healthcare, parallels Republican cuts to Medicaid and SNAP alongside a $200 billion ICE budget. Khamenei lived by death to America and death to Israel. Those are exactly the forces that killed him.

We had hoped to drop this yesterday but wartime exigencies got in the way. The message is just as relevant today - the holiday of Purim was on Tuesday, March 3. It commemorates a miracle - when the Jews in ancient Persia were ordered by a King's decree to be murdered. Every last one. And yet, by a series of coincidences, they were spared. That was thousands of years ago. Since that time Jews have faced many tyrants who were determined to end their existence. The most recent and current one was Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He led a regime obsessed with destroying Israel and Jews. The historical arc is fascinating. And real. The decree in ancient Persia was real. Hitler was real. And Khamenei - until a few days ago - was real.I thought we'd take a breather from missiles and bomb shelters and reflect on the historical arc into which this wild war fits. Neatly.I spoke with two fabulous rabbis: my old friend from London, Ontario, Ephraim Shore.....and a new friend from Boston, Mass., Rabbi Bill Hamilton.

Hamilton has led Kehillath Israel since 1995. He strives to activate Torah in the service of meaningful living – nourishing growth, solacing grief, and deepening joy.Empowering learners is at the heart of his leadership approach. Lay-leaders, Jews-by-choice, and rabbinic interns, all take responsibility for creating community and celebrating Judaism. A commitment to inclusion is also central to Rabbi Hamilton. His deep involvement with the Ruderman Foundation's work for disability inclusion alongside his Board leadership with New England Yachad, complements a principled commitment to gender, ideological, and diversified practice inclusion at KI.Rabbi Hamilton's vision for partnership practice now shapes a new century at Kehillath Israel. Establishing a campus that hosts five prayer-communities and several other agencies under his leadership has made KI the subject of a Harvard Business School Case-Study. His impact and influence are strengthened by exceptionally strong engagement with Israel. As a founder of The David Project (Campus advocacy) and the New England Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, Rabbi Hamilton regularly brings groups on specialized tours of Israel. He sees resourcing Israel as essential to deepening Jewish commitments and furnishing richer inner-lives.His leadership in civic settings also distinguishes his voice throughout our region. For twenty years he has served as Chaplain of the Massachusetts State Police, on the Board of ADL, and on Harvard University's Board of Ministry.He enjoys playing sports and rooting for local teams.

Các nhà lãnh đạo Úc đang lên án các buổi lễ tưởng niệm địa phương, dành cho cố trưởng giáo Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, làm dấy lên một cuộc tranh luận gay gắt về an ninh quốc gia và giới hạn của tự do ngôn luận. Trong khi chính phủ kêu gọi điều tra hình sự về các hành động này, một số chuyên gia cảnh báo rằng lời lẽ của chính phủ, có nguy cơ gây chia rẽ không cần thiết và phản tác dụng, đối với sự gắn kết xã hội.

Within minutes of the war beginning on Saturday, allies Israel and the US had achieved a stated goal: Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed alongside his powerful inner circle. His death would, according to both US president Donald Trump and Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, pave the way for regime change, allowing opposition forces in Tehran to rise up and take control. Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel, while Iranian drones have also hit countries across the Middle East. Hizbullah, an Iranian-backed militia, fired missiles into Israel in the early days of the war, and by Wednesday Israeli forces entered Lebanon. The death toll – notably in Iran – is mounting. And the rest of the world is feeling the impact with threats of economic instability, oil shortages and travel and trade chaos. But are the US and Israel on the same page when it comes to the war's objectives? And are they equal partners in this or is this Israel's war with the US providing military support? Irish Times contributor Mark Weiss in Jerusalem explains how the US and Israel are looking for different outcomes from this war. And Shashank Joshi, defence editor with The Economist Magazine, explores how the war might end – and when – and why the Kurds might be drawn in to war. Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Donald Trump says he's liberated the people of Iran to forge their own future, after killing their autocratic leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss Israel's conflict with Iran after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the oversight committee releasing Bill and Hillary Clintons deposition videos, and Jim Carrey's interview at the French film awards. 

Two sitting heads of state, eight weeks apart. On Saturday, February 28, the United States and Israel launched a massive military assault on Iran that resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with much of his senior command. This came less than two months after the United States military captured Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela, in an overnight raid. The president seems to believe that he can decapitate these regimes and control their successors without events spinning out of his control. Is he right? Ben Rhodes is a New York Times Opinion contributing writer and a co-host of “Pod Save the World.” He served as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and worked on the Iran nuclear deal. In this conversation, we discuss the ongoing conflict in Iran, how Democrats should respond, and whether Trump's “head on a pike” approach to foreign policy underestimates the chaos of war.

More To The Story: US and Israeli military strikes against Iran that killed several of the country's top officials, including longtime supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have ushered in a new and unpredictable era in the Middle East. Within hours, Iran retaliated, striking US allies across the Persian Gulf, including US embassies and a military operations center in Kuwait. At least six US service members had been killed. In Iran, days of military strikes have reportedly killed hundreds of people, including dozens of girls at an elementary school. Davar Ardalan knows Iran inside and out. She lived in the country before the Islamic Revolution, when it was ruled by the shah, and afterward, when it was run by the country's ayatollahs. For more than two decades, she was a journalist at NPR, where she produced major stories about the country. She's also the author of My Name Is Iran: A Memoir, which highlights three generations of women living in both Iran and the US during times of revolution. On this week's episode, Ardalan examines how Iranians inside the country are reacting to the ever-widening conflict, the long history of outside intervention in the region, and who might lead the country moving forward.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: What a War Powers Resolution Vote on Iran Actually Means (Mother Jones)Listen: Jeffrey Goldberg on Signalgate, Pete Hegseth, and the Risk of WWIII (More To The Story)Read: My Name Is Iran: A Memoir (Holt) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

President Trump carried out one of the most consequential military operations in recent history, killing 40 of Iran's leaders along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But the media and liberals would rather stand with Iran. Iranian people all over the world have been celebrating their newfound freedom, yet leftist American women feel the need to protest this. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) keeps trying to troll President Trump, but it has not been going well for him. Joe Biden embarrasses himself while trying to speak at an event.

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has drawn in countries across the Middle East. AFP has the latest. The Wall Street Journal’s Alex Ward joins to discuss President Trump’s messaging about the conflict. Iranians in the country are having different reactions to the war and the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. NPR’s Jane Arraf describes how some are processing the last few days. Plus, Texas voters head to the polls for a contentious GOP primary, and video of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s depositions in the House Jeffrey Epstein investigation was released. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

P.M. Edition for Mar. 3. Three days after the U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Trump isn't sure who he wants in power in Tehran. WSJ national security reporter Vera Bergengruen discusses the options he's presented. Plus, Trump said Iran's military has been largely neutralized, which, as markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang describes, helped markets regain their footing from their earlier drop early today. And the case for going to war with Iran comes under growing scrutiny. We hear from WSJ reporter Alexander Ward about how the administration is talking about why it went to war, and why it matters.

In the past three months, Donald Trump's White House has reportedly used AI twice to effect regime change – once in its capture of Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro, and more recently to help plan the strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The most recent strikes coincided with the end of the Pentagon's relationship with the AI company Anthropic over concerns its AI tool Claude was being used for purposes the company had explicitly prohibited. The government swiftly signed a new contract with Open AI. To find out what this means for the use of AI in forthcoming conflicts, Madeleine Finlay speaks to technology journalist Chris Stokel-Walker. He explains why he thinks this moment represents a dangerous turning point.. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

As chaos ensues in the Middle East in the aftermath of US-Israel airstrikes on Iran - which killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - talks of a post-Khamenei country are top of mind for millions. But the reality of a complete regime take-down seems father away than US President Trump made it out to be. Host Caryn Ceolin is joined by Thomas Juneau, professor from the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, and Nader Hashemi, an associate professor of Middle East and Islamic politics from Georgetown University. They discuss Canada's endorsement of Trump's military action, global response to the killing of Khamenei, and Iran's complex political future.

“If we let things continue in the direction that they are taking now, I think it is more likely than not that we will end up in some kind of Great Power war within the foreseeable future.” — Arne WestadThis conversation was recorded before the invasion of Iran, which makes what you are about to hear even more chilling. In his new book, The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict, and Warnings from History, Yale historian Arne Westad warns that the structural parallels between our multipolar 2020s and the world before the First World War are too striking to ignore—and he names the Middle East as one of the flashpoints that could spark a much broader conflagration.Westad argues that the structural parallels between our multipolar 2020s and the world before the First World War are “striking.” A dominant power (USA) withdrawing from the international system it created. Rising inequality and globalization backlash. New technologies that speed up time and shrink the window for decision-making. A rising Great Power—China—that, like Wilhelmine Germany, simply cannot stop growing. And a declining empire—Russia—that, like Austria-Hungary, has quarrels on every border and an alliance with the rising power next door.The cast of characters, Westad warns, is also uncomfortably familiar. Trump is Joseph Chamberlain—the British conservative who turned his party against the free trade system it had championed. Putin's Russia is Austria-Hungary: an empire in long-term decline that acted in 1914 because it believed Germany would back it up. And nuclear weapons? Before 1914, people wrote long books about how new military technologies made war unthinkable. We are taking refuge in that same bad logic today.The difference, Westad insists, is that we know how 1914 ended. We have international institutions built to prevent it. And we still have time—but not much, he warns—to forge the kind of Great Power compromise that could pull us back from the brink. Whether we will is another question entirely. Especially given our current historical amnesia. So might Archduke Ferdinand be Ayatollah Ali Khamenei this time around? Stay tuned. It's squeaky bum time once again in world history. Five Takeaways•       We're Living in a Pre-1914 Moment: A multipolar world. Rising inequality. Globalization backlash. New technologies that speed up time and reduce the window for decision-making. A dominant power withdrawing from the international system it created. The structural parallels between the early 20th century and the 2020s are, in Westad's word, “striking.”•       China Is the New Germany: A rapidly rising Great Power that can't stop growing, generating dissonance in an established international system. As the British told the Germans: “If you could just stop growing, little Hans, all would be fine and dandy.” That's exactly what China cannot do. And it takes two to tango on compromise.•       Russia Is the New Austria-Hungary: An empire in long-term decline with quarrels on every border, allied to the most rapidly rising Great Power next to it. Austria acted in 1914 because they believed Germany would back them up. The parallel to the China-Russia relationship today is uncomfortably close.•       Trump Is Joseph Chamberlain: The British conservative who turned his party against the free trade system it had championed. Chamberlain never made it to prime minister, but he came close and reshaped his party in ways no one foresaw—exactly what Trump has done to the Republicans.•       Nuclear Weapons May Not Save Us: Before 1914, people wrote long books about how new military technologies—poison gas, battleships, aerial bombardment—made war unthinkable. We are taking refuge in the same logic today. Westad is not so sure the deterrent fully holds anymore. About the GuestOdd Arne Westad is the Elihu Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Irans øverste leder, blev i weekenden dræbt efter makkerparret Netanyahu og Trumps fælles angreb på Iran. I hovedstaden, Teheran, gik mange iranere på gaden i jubel over at være sluppet af med den brutale despot, som har slået tusinder af demonstranter ihjel, mens de protesterede over hans benhårde regime. Andre iranere sørgede offentligt over at have mistet deres religiøse og politiske leder og samledes i gaderne med iranske flag og billeder af Khamenei for at begræde hans død. Trump har opfordret iranerne til at gå imod præstestyret – men er det på nogen måder realistisk, at krigen kan føre til et demokratisk ledet Iran? Eller vil præstestyret bare erstatte Khamenei med en ny tyran? Det fortæller Politikens seniorkorrespondent Anders Jerichow om i det her afsnit af 'Du lytter til Politiken', hvor han også sætter ord på den dybe splittelse, der hersker i det Iran, der nu (igen) er i krig med USA og Israel – en krig, der breder sig til andre lande i Mellemøsten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They talk about the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—who was among the hundreds killed by drone and missile strikes—and how the country has retaliated against the U.S., Israel, and several of its Arab neighbors.

A former Clinton and Biden foreign policy advisor saw it before it happened. Now the question is what investors do next. Hours after this episode was recorded, the United States and Israel launched a coordinated military campaign against Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in what analysts are calling the most significant U.S.-Iran escalation in decades. Charles Myers, Founder and CEO of Signum Global Advisors and a former senior foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, had just sat down with Steven Ehrlich to discuss the geopolitical landscape and what it means for investors.  What he said about Iran during that conversation is now raising serious questions about what comes next, and the investment implications are far from settled. In this episode, Myers also addresses whether the "sell America" trade is overdone, where oil is heading, the future of AI funding, and whether Bitcoin can actually function as a safe haven when the world is on fire.
