Dans un Iran qui change, où de plus en plus de femmes tombent le voile contre les exigences du clergé, les conservateurs voudraient encore convaincre. Nos reporters Charles Emptaz et Olivier Jobard ont pris le pouls de cet Iran conservateur, qui a célébré les 46 ans de la Révolution Islamique. Ils ont notamment suivi Farad Fathi, mollah médiatique et inconditionnel soutient du Guide Suprême, qui tente d'ouvrir le dialogue avec la jeunesse rebelle.
In a country in the midst of change, where more and more women refuse to wear the veil despite the rules, conservatives are looking to maintain their grip on power. Nearly 180,000 clerics, or mullahs, preach the words of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran, but not all of them are ultra-conservative. Some have understood the need for dialogue, in a society divided by economic sanctions and the feminist uprising that followed the death in custody of Mahsa Amini back in 2022. Farad Fathi, a media-savvy cleric and a staunch supporter of the regime, is reaching out to young Iranians to convince them of the mullahs' ways. Charles Emptaz and Olivier Jobard report.
Simmering threats between Iran and the US are nearing their boiling point, after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said this week that Tehran would retaliate if attacked. The heated tone comes after American President Donald Trump warned earlier that the US would bomb Iran and impose additional tariffs if it did not agree to a nuclear deal. Tit-for-tat warnings have sparked fears that Iran may be on the brink of weaponising its nuclear programme. Tensions have been brewing for the past several weeks as Mr Trump hawkishly tries to strike an agreement after withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action during his first term in office. But the geopolitical landscape today is drastically different to what it was back then, with Iran's assets in the region greatly weakened. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher asks whether the outcome will be conflict or resolution. She speaks to Dr Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, and Francesco Schiavi, Middle East analyst and non-resident fellow at the Middle East Institute Switzerland.
On dit que Donald Trump voudrait se voir remettre le Prix Nobel de la paix. Or, deux mois et demi après son accession au pouvoir, c'est plutôt de guerres dont on parle, à commencer par sa guerre commerciale, mais pas seulement. Comment qualifier la politique de Donald Trump ? Fait-il entrer les relations internationales dans une nouvelle ère de conflits et non de paix, comme il le prétend ? Quelle peut être la riposte des pays partenaires et des adversaires ?
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned of “firm retaliation” for any agression from the US. After performing Eid prayer on Monday, thousands of Egyptians gathered outside major mosques and worship places to protest against the US plan to displace Gazans. The Israeli military issued eviction orders covering most of Rafah. This episode features Aveen Karim, Assistant Foreign Editor.
Ein Standpunkt von Stephan Ossenkopp.Während die Trump-Administration mit Russland den Weg des konstruktiven Dialogs als Vorstufe zu Verhandlungen über den Ukraine-Konflikt gewählt hat, verfolgt sie im Falle des Iran eine andere Strategie, nämlich die des maximalen Drucks. Der Präsident will ein Abkommen erreichen, das sicherstellen soll, dass der Iran keine Atomwaffen entwickeln wird. Deshalb hat Trump Teheran ein Ultimatum gestellt: Verhandelt oder es könnte militärische Konsequenzen geben. Doch dieser Ansatz scheint wenig erfolgversprechend. In Teheran will man sich nicht an den Verhandlungstisch zwingen lassen, und zugleich ist der Iran nicht so isoliert, wie es Washington vielleicht gerne hätte. Die Situation läuft auf einen Entscheidungspunkt mit offenem Ausgang hinaus. Eines ist jedoch klar: Die USA bestimmen die Nahostpolitik nicht allein, auch Russland und China bringen zunehmend eigene Positionen ein.Am 5. Februar veröffentlichte das Weiße Haus ein Fact Sheet. Damit setzte Präsident Donald Trump den Iran erneut unter massiven Druck. In diesem Presidential Security Memorandum heißt es, der Iran müsse daran gehindert werden, Atomwaffen und Interkontinentalraketen zu bauen; das iranische Terrornetzwerk müsse neutralisiert werden; maximaler wirtschaftlicher Druck, einschließlich Sanktionen, solle die Ölexporte des Irans zum Erliegen bringen. Kurz darauf schrieb der US-Präsident einen Brief an Irans obersten Religionsführer Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in dem er ihm ein zweimonatiges Ultimatum setzte, mit dem Ziel, ihn an den Verhandlungstisch zu zwingen, um über ein neues Atomabkommen zu sprechen. Dieser Brief wurde Berichten zufolge durch Trumps Sondergesandten Steve Witkoff über die Regierung der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate an den Iran übermittelt. Der Text des Briefes wurde nicht veröffentlicht, aber es heißt, dass der Iran de facto vor die Wahl gestellt wurde, entweder zu verhandeln oder militärische Konsequenzen zu tragen.Das iranische Außenministerium gab bekannt, Trumps Botschaft zu überprüfen. Doch Ayatollah Khamenei ging an die Öffentlichkeit und wies "die Mobbing-Taktik der USA" zurück. Trump legte nach und sagte dem Sender Fox News, es gebe nur zwei Möglichkeiten mit dem Iran umzugehen: militärisch oder einen Deal zu machen und fügte hinzu:„Ich würde einen Deal vorziehen, weil ich nicht die Absicht habe, den Iran zu verletzen“.Also wieder zwiespältige Signale. Im Iran selbst könnten Trumps Einschüchterungsversuche die Hardliner stärken. Das Nachrichtenportal Al Jazeera, das aus Doha berichtet, meldete, ultrakonservative Zeitungen im Iran hätten trotzig reagiert. Es heißt, mehr Länder würden nun als Reaktion auf Trumps Politik über Atombomben für ihre Sicherheit nachdenken. Ein Parlamentarier wird mit den Worten zitiert:"Vielleicht ist es an der Zeit, die Nuklear- und Sicherheitsdoktrin des Landes zu überdenken."...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/trump-und-iran-maximaler-druck-oder-verhandlungen-von-stephan-ossenkopp/ Hosted on Acast.

As Iran carries out military drills with Russia and China, Venetia Rainey chats to Telegraph reporter Akhtar Makoii about the country's attempts to build up its army with new weapons and new capabilities. They also discuss Iran's renewed attempts to strike a nuclear deal, and why Donald Trump's threatening letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei might backfire. Plus: The war in Sudan continues to rage with no sign of resolution. The Telegraph's global health reporter Lilia Sebouai and photographer Simon Townsley gained rare access to Sudan's Nuba Mountains. They tell Roland Oliphant the stories they heard first-hand, including the way mass rape is being used as a weapon of war by the Rapid Support Forces.Read more'Iran unveils new ‘stealth fighter' drone for bombing and reconnaissance' by Akhtar Makoii:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/04/iran-unveil-stealth-fighter-drone/'Putin agrees to help Trump start direct talks with Iran' by Akhtar Makoii:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/04/putin-agrees-help-trump-direct-talks-with-iran/'Dispatch: Children reduced to skin and bones in war-torn Sudan's forgotten famine' by Lilia Sebouai and Simon Townsley:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/sudan-war-famine-nuba-malnutrition-starvation-conflict/Children as young as four among victims of gang-rape and ethnic cleansing in war-torn Sudan by Lilia Sebouai and Simon Townsley:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/child-victims-of-gang-rape-and-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-war/Contact us with feedback or ideasbattlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump claimed to have sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, advocating nuclear negotiations while simultaneously threatening military action. Trump expressed a preference for a deal over military intervention, emphasising the urgency of the situation. The letter reportedly suggests that Iran should negotiate to avoid military consequences, as Trump aims to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. However, the Iranian mission to the UN stated they had not received such a letter. This overture echoes a prior attempt in 2019, which Khamenei publicly dismissed. Trump's proposal arrives after he previously withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement, and further, he stated he would be willing to obliterate Iran if they assassinated anyone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sinwar is dead, Khamenei is dying and America is divisive! This leadership vacuum is creating fertile ground for terroriststo commit chaos. In today's podcast, Carole Lieberman, M.D., your Terrorist Therapist®, looks at the vacuum created by each of these leaders and what impact it is having on their people. Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of Hamas' Oct 7 massacre,is dead, killed in his luxuriously appointed bunker by Israel Defense Forces. You will hear what he wrote in his final will and instructions for dealing with Israeli hostages. His widow, Abu Samar, was left with a $32,000 Hermes Birkin bag, justwhat every well-dressed terrorist needs.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, is reportedly seriously ill and there is a secret battle over his succession. So far, his 2nd son, is winning. This comes at a critical time of the war, where Israel's latest retaliatory attack weakened Iran's defenses. As he's facing death, it's very tempting for Khamenei to please Allah by destroying Israel as his legacy. America is suffering unparalleled divisiveness, as this election has become fierce, and post-election unrest is forecast. The battle between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is particularly intense as they fight for the hearts and minds of Arab and Muslim Americans. Whoever wins will impact the Middle East and the encroachment of terrorists into the U.S.
This weekend's carefully calibrated Israeli retaliatory strikes at Iranian military targets could lower the risk of an all-out Middle East war, particularly if Iran decides not to respond. The Iranian military said as much by suggesting in a statement that Iran reserved the right to defend itself but may not respond to the attack if Israel agreed to ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appeared to back the military by declaring the armed forces would decide how the Islamic Republic should respond. By avoiding escalatory tit-for-tat attacks, Iran would ensure that the international community remains focused on the wars in Gaza and Lebanon at a time when Israel's support network is fracturing. With Israeli-Iranian tensions constrained, the fractures in Israel's US and European diplomatic and military defence shield and the Jewish state's existing and potential regional partnerships would likely return to the forefront, potentially with a vengeance.
Iran's supreme leader has declared five days of mourning after Israel's assassination of Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says the death of the Iran-backed leader will not go unavenged. Israel used what are known as bunker buster bombs in airstrikes in Beirut to carry out the killing that was ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While supporters of Nasrallah across Lebanon, Iraq and Iran are in mourning there have also been celebrations after the killing of one of Israel's longtime sworn enemies. - 9月28日、軍事勢力ヒズボラのリーダー、ハッサン・ナスララがイスラエルの空爆により暗殺されました。 これを受けて、イランの最高指導者アヤトラ・アリー・ホセイニー・ハメネイ師は、5日間の服喪を宣言しました。また、この暗殺への報復も示しています。ベンジャミン・ネタニヤフ首相の命令で実行されたこの暗殺で、イスラエル軍は通称バンカーバスターと呼ばれる爆弾を使用しました。
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Israel that its killing of Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah's leader, would “not go unavenged” and announced five days of official mourning.

FDD is tracking a potential major development in Israel's multi-front war against Iran-backed terrorists with reports of a potential strike against Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and other senior Hezbollah leaders. Since October 8, 2023, Iran's most pampered and lethal proxy, Hezbollah, has launched, without prior provocation, thousands of rockets at Israel from Lebanon. For months, hundreds of thousands of Israeli and Lebanese civilians alike have been displaced from their homes. The U.S. has been holding Israel back from striking hard blows to Hezbollah, and Israel is now paying a steep price. With another war front opened in Israel's north, all eyes are turning to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran for what might come next. So, what lies ahead? How long might it realistically take for Israel to neutralize — or dismantle — this longstanding terror threat? Will the United States pivot its approach and support Israel's efforts to enforce its sovereignty?For more: https://www.fdd.org/events/2024/09/27/israels-strike-on-hezbollah-hq-fdd-sitrep/Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XhluLHFo-U
Now that the dust has settled a bit, we can take another look at the Paris Olympics opening ritual. One spokesperson for the games confirmed that the organizer “Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting to create the setting." The woman taking place of Jesus, Barbara Butch, had also said online that her performance was meant to mock Christians. What do both of these people have in common? Jolly is a gay Jew and Butch is a self-described fat, queer, Jew. Considering how upset Christians were, and that the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also condemned the “insults” against Jesus Christ, noting that Jesus is a respected figure in Islam, perhaps the followers of Christ should reassess their relationship with Judaism and Israel. Considering the Talmud is trending on social media today, makes this all the more interesting. The fact Israel was also allowed to participate in the Olympics is yet another double standard that saw other countries like Russia banned.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

President Joe Biden is, for all practical purposes, a lame-duck president, and that may embolden terrorists in the Middle East, Victoria Coates says.“Unfortunately, we're in this unprecedented situation, where it's almost not clear who the commander in chief of the United States is," says Coates, vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.“We haven't heard from the president. We haven't seen the president,” says Coates, who also served as deputy national security adviser in the Trump administration, adding that Biden has had “nothing on his schedule for days now.” “Is the vice president essentially filling this role?” Coates asked. “It's not in her constitutional powers to do so, although she may be doing it in all practical ways. But my concern is, given that unprecedented flux and confusion, that the normal Iranian decision-making will be altered, and they might do something they wouldn't have tried even two months ago.” In the wake of an airstrike that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on Wednesday, Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, says revenge is Iran's “duty.” Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps also threatened Israel, claiming that the “Zionist regime will face a harsh and painful response from the powerful and huge resistance front, especially Islamic Iran.”The strike was carried out right after the Hamas leader attended the inauguration of Iran's new president in Tehran, but this was not the only deadly strike in the Middle East this week. Israel carried out a strike in Beirut on Tuesday, killing Fuad Shukr, a top Hezbollah leader. The U.S. also mounted a strike in Iraq that U.S. officials described as “self-defense.”With growing concerns over the strikes leading to possible severe escalation in the region, Coates joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the likelihood of retaliatory strikes on Israel and the U.S. Enjoy the show!

This week, two major terrorist leaders were assassinated in the Middle East. Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an explosion in Tehran, just a day after top Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut in retaliation for the horrific rocket attack that killed 12 children on a soccer field in northern Israel. What does this mean for Israel and the wider region? Is this a major setback for Iran and its terror proxies? Tune in to hear what AJC Jerusalem Director Lt. Col. (res.) Avital Leibovich, who visited the site of the terror attack in Majdal Shams, has to say.

Transcript of Interview with Avital Leibovich: Manya Brachear Pashman: This week marked 300 days of captivity for the 115 remaining hostages kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7. There was also a major development: confirmation that an operation in July led to the death of Hamas' military leader Muhammad Deif. But there were two more assassinations this week, the leaders of two terror groups targeting Israel. On Wednesday, we learned that Hamas terror leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an explosion in Tehran shortly after meeting with Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Haniyeh had been in Tehran for the inauguration of its new president. This just a day after top Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut in retaliation for the horrific rocket attack that killed 12 children on a soccer field in Golan Heights. AJC Jerusalem director Avital Leibovich is with us now to discuss these developments. Avital, welcome back to People of the Pod. Avital Leibovich: Thank you. Manya. Good to be here. Manya Brachear Pashman: So, Avital, my first question is, are we safer now than we were at the start of the week? Do two fewer terror leaders lead to less terror? Avital Leibovich: Well, I would say the world in general is a safer place with the absence of Shukr and Haniyeh. However, the neighborhood here is not changing. And unfortunately, we are still surrounded by vicious enemies, who still are seeking to see our erosion and eradication. So while I'm very happy with your outcome in the last 24 hours, I also know there's still a lot of reason for concern. Manya Brachear Pashman: So tell us about these terror leaders. Who was Ismail Haniyeh? And what was his role with Hamas? Avital Leibovich: Sure. So Ismail Haniyeh, who's also, by the way, has another name, which is Abu al-Abed, he actually served as the number one political leader of Hamas since May 2017. He actually substituted in this role, Khaled Mashal and other terrorists, and before that, he actually served as the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority just for a very brief, short time between 2006 and 2007. And he actually became very close to a Hamas leader called Ahmed Yassin. And basically, he really grew into the very radical agenda of Hamas. Interesting enough, his background was totally different. I mean, even worked in Israel in the city closest to Gaza called Ashkelon. So he knows the country. He knows the mentality. So in addition to this, he also began to do some terror activity after the three years of working in Ashkelon in Israel. And then he initiated different kinds of activities. Among them was the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit, a soldier who we'll remember. And after being involved in the terror realm and the political realm, he decided to focus more on Hamas' agenda, on Hamas' charter. And basically, what we have seen in the last couple of years are a few things. Number one, Hania got very rich, because he received millions and millions of dollars from the Qataris. Number two, he left Gaza and he spent the last years of his life in Qatar, in lavish hotels and apartments, enjoying great life. And this is also an indication of how much does he care about the people of Gaza. And I want to connect to the current war and give you a quote of who Haniyeh was because I see that some of the media outlets have the nerve to call him a moderate negotiator. Therefore, I'd like to help them and share with you the following quote, which was said on October 27 — that was the first day where the IDF entered Gaza following the October 7 massacre. So he said, "We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly of Gaza, so it awakens our revolutionary spirit." This is the moderate guy that international media is referring to in their reports. He was a radical, he was a terrorist, and we had a very good opening of our day this morning when we heard the news. Manya Brachear Pashman: And Fuad Shukr, what was his role with Hezbollah? Avital Leibovich: He also, you know, this is a name which is not known, I think, to many people, but he does have a French connection and an American connection — of course, an Israeli connection. The guy was number two in the level of seniority in Hezbollah. He was actually the manager of the army in a way of the Hezbollah military apparatus. But more than that, he was a strategist, and he knew what direction should Hezbollah take in the next years. He was in charge of developing the entire missile industry that Hezbollah had, including the accurate missiles. In other words, he was a strategist but also was a practical man. Now, here's the connection that he had to the US and to France. In 1983, he was one of the orchestrators of the attack in the marine base in Beirut. On that terrible day, 241 American marines lost their lives, but 70 French soldiers were killed as well. So as you can imagine, this terrorist Fuad Shukr has 40 years of terror activities, primarily against Israel, but also against Israeli allies. So again, I think it was a very courageous and accurate Israeli operation. And more than anything, Manya, it shows the amazing level of intelligence, where that person was exactly in which room, in which building, in which floor, and to be able to very surgically act in the right time, at the right moment and target him, I think that shows a lot for the Israeli intelligence capabilities. Manya Brachear Pashman: Was Haniyeh part of the ceasefire and hostage release negotiations? Avital Leibovich: So if you look at the title that Hanieyeh had, which is the head of the political branch of Hamas, you could think that he had some impact on the decision making process with the hostage deals. But I can tell you that he had really no impact, very little impact. Because from the analysis that we have here in Israel, the main decision maker is Sinwar. Now the question is, will the death of Haniyeh have an impact, number one on Sinwar? And therefore, number two on the hostage deal? Now, I'm not sure it will have an effect. I have to say. Sinwar is known as the longtime rival of Haniyeh. So in other words, he will not be mourning his death. But he had the last word with regard to any of the discussions on the hostages. And at the end of the day, Sinwar said numerous times, that he's willing to die. And his ultimate goal is to make sure that Hamas has some sort of a controlling Gaza. He understands today Sinwar, that Hamas will no longer control the government, therefore, he's willing to compromise. For example, let's say Hamas will be giving the role of being in charge of the renovations in Gaza. Or perhaps they will be in charge of the education system and so on, in other words, just to have some sort of a stronghold inside Gaza in terms of governance of some sort. Now, if that will not be a part of any possible deal, then Sinwar has no interest to give a positive answer to a deal. Manya Brachear Pashman: I am curious why Haniyeh would have met with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before his death? Avital Leibovich: Hamas and Iran have different kinds of cooperation. We have seen that across the region. In other words, we have seen Hamas representatives in Lebanon, working alongside Nasrallah, the health Hezbollah, but also meeting the Iranian foreign minister, when he came to Lebanon for visits. We understand that this time around there is a clear interest which Iran supports, is to target Israel as much as possible. And obviously Iran prefers a proxy like Hamas to be representative of its own goals and intentions. And therefore you saw Haniyeh last time, was last night paying respects for the inauguration ceremony in Iran. And according to what I'm hearing, he was also hosted in a Revolutionary Guards facility. In other words, whoever targeted Haniyeh had a great level of intelligence by knowing how to get to that specific building. But moreover, this is a very secure area, because the Revolutionary Guards are considered the body which is the most guarded of all bodies in Iran. They're the ones controlling the budget of the Iranian government. They're the ones operating Hezbollah and other militias and proxies. So in other words, the fact that it was a Revolutionary Guards headquarters, Antonia was there and despite of all this information, the security system around him cracked. I think that sends a very loud and clear message to the Iranians. Manya Brachear Pashman: How is the relationship between Iran and Hamas and the relationship between Iran and Hezbollah different? Can you explain that to our audience? Avital Leibovich: First of all, I mean, you know, Iran is the chief orchestrator of everything that we have been seeing here since October 7, but actually before that as well. Now, I would say that with Hezbollah, it's a long love story between the two. Actually, Hezbollah was founded by Iran, quite shortly after the revolution in '79. When the country became a fundamentalist Islamist and obviously, took the wrong path, distancing itself from the Western world. Iran actually built Hezbollah, founded Hezbollah, first the military wing, and then adding three years later the political wing. And the idea was to use them in order to attack Israel. And this is very convenient. Think about it, Iran is 1300 kilometers away from Israel. It's not convenient to fire a rocket all the way from that country to Israel. But let's say you want to use simpler means and within half an hour to take an operation out, it's easier to use someone who's bordering with Israel. So gradually, we saw Hezbollah taking over almost the entire country. And everything had to do with Iranian funding. Now, in order to have Iranian funding in terms of sanctions, Iran and Hezbollah, found alternative options like laundering money, like a whole chain of drug trafficking in Syria and other countries. So they found solutions to do that. By the way, Iran is doing the same thing with the Houthis in Yemen, also using them as a proxy. Because you know, this is the most poor country in the region, huge unemployment rates, you can recruit 10s of 1000s and hundreds of 1000s of people, as long as you pay them a very minimal salary. Now, as for Hamas, Hamas was built a little bit later. It's actually an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, so not directly of Iran. However, sometimes there are joint interests between different terror groups. Actually, Iran founded the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, in 79, right after the revolution, because he thought this would be the main actor controlling Gaza with the best assets and so on. But with the course of the years, when Hamas controlled Gaza, and was able to develop its terror means rockets, drones, etc, then, of course, Iran moved to cooperate with Hamas, according to its needs for Iran, it's, of course, more worthwhile to use the blood of Palestinians than the blood of Iranians to sacrifice Palestinians and not the Iranians. This is how they see it. At the end of the day, Iran now wishes to resume to the situation of being a major empire as it used to be, a Persian empire decades and decades ago. So this is the longtime dream, I would say. And the proxies are just another, I would say detail in the path to reach that dream. Manya Brachear Pashman: Now, Hezbollah did not claim responsibility for the attack that killed a dozen children on a soccer field. Why not? They're usually proud of the death and destruction that they wreak. Why did Israel target the terror group anyway? Avital Leibovich: Look, say a few words about this tragic event that took place just a few days ago in a very small, beautiful, pastoral village called Majdal Shams, which, by the way, means the tower of sun. It's on the Syrian border, and the other side is on the Lebanese border. And, you know, people asked me if this is the first time that Hizballah ever targeted Druze or targeted Muslims. Now this specific village was targeted five times already by Hezbollah. Saturday, obviously, was the deadliest of all the five. It was 6:18 in the afternoon, beautiful summer day, lots of kids outside. I visited the soccer field where it happens. And the rockets left, really not a chance for those kids who were playing there. Although there was actually a shelter right there, maybe two feet from where the rocket hit the ground. They really didn't have a chance to make it and go into the shelter. And unfortunately, those poor 12 year old kids, ages 10-16, died in place. We still have over 30 people hospitalized, many of them are kids as well. And I have to say, Manya, that I saw a village who has been traumatized. People are still wearing black clothes. There are black flags hanging everywhere inside the village. The pictures of the kids are, you know, pasted everywhere, on the squares just on random villages and walls of buildings. I also went to one of the bereaved families. And you know, you sit there with a parent who lost his 12 year old boy named Johnny [Wadeea Ibrahim]. And he tells you about his dreams. And he says to me, you know, these dreams will never be fulfilled. And he says to me, we don't even know how to digest what happened to us. So, for Hezbollah, they don't really care who they're firing at, whether it's Jews or Arabs, or Muslims or Christians, whoever, they don't care if it's in the eastern Galilee, or the Western Galilee, or the Golan. All these areas are relevant for the Hezbollah fire since October 8. Manya Brachear Pashman: Well, Hezbollah did not take responsibility. Why not? Avital Leibovich: So here is the mistake. Hezbollah actually made the mistake. Hezbollah has a TV station, which is its mouthpiece, just like Hamas's TV station mouthpiece is Al Jazeera. Hezbollah's is Al Mayadeen. Now, immediately after an attack, a Hezbollah attack, Al Mayadeen immediately publishes responsibility taking by Hezbollah always every time. And by the way, we're talking about an average of eight attacks a day, every day. And that's what they did here too. On Saturday, they immediately took responsibility in the name of Hezbollah. Unfortunately, for them, after 20 minutes, they understood the extent of the mistake they did, and deleted, of course, this responsibility, and then they made up their own narrative. The narrative was that a misfiring of an Iron Dome interceptor, mistakenly killed the kids, like Israel's fault is that the kids died. Now, this narrative, if you think it was only the social media, then think again, they sent the foreign minister of Lebanon to the media to repeat it. But they also did something more. They sent the head of the Druze community. It's the same blood and flesh of the Druze in the Golan. They sent him to the press to declare that it was not a Hezbollah rocket. So they understood that they will pay a price of some sort. I'm sure they understood that I'm not sure they understood the extent of the intelligence Israel had. And now of course, they're threatening to target Israel. I think the next 48 hours will reveal where we're heading. Manya Brachear Pashman: And you talk about the incredible intelligence that led to the precise explosion in Beirut as well as the death of Haniyeh. Has Israel taken responsibility for his death and what it claimed credit if it was responsible, Avital Leibovich: Up to this minute, Israel did not take any responsibility for Haniyeh's death. Of course, yes, for the Hizballah number two guy Fuad Shukr, but not for Haniyeh. As a matter of fact, the Prime Minister ordered the Cabinet members and the ministers not to speak publicly on the issue. And basically, there's been a lot of quiet from the political echelon here since the morning. Manya Brachear Pashman: And you touched on what my last question is, and that is, how will this elevate the tensions? Does this raise the chance of a war between Israel and Lebanon, Israel, and Iran, these assassinations? Avital Leibovich: So I would say we are already in a war to some extent with Hezbollah, because Hezbollah has fired more than 6000 rockets since October 8. And I've counted 43 Israeli casualties since October 8. So we are talking about an active war in a sense, I think that there is a good reason to believe that both Hezbollah and Iran will react to these two targets. I'm not sure in which way. I do think that Hezbollah still has the notion and the strategy of not completely escalating the situation to a full scale war. I'm sure that Nasrallah is sitting in his bunker in the darkened neighborhood, seeing the footage from Gaza and understanding Israel's capability and does not want to turn Beirut into a similar kind of situation. And he also saw the building last night and he also understood the extent of the intelligence capability. So I think he will have to react in such a way that on the one hand, he could be proud that he did something but on the other hand, would not engage in a full scale war. Iran, on the other hand, is a different story. Because three months have passed since April 14 in which Iran decided to gift us with hundreds of drones and different kinds of ballistic missiles. And from their perspective, it failed. It failed because Israel has a great defense system. It also failed because the US led the great coalition of countries who supported the interception attempts in April 14. However, and this is a big however, Iran learned its lessons. Iran learned why it failed in April. And therefore, my concern is that they will take these lessons and implement them in whichever reaction they will have. I'm not sure it will be tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, they will celebrate Haniyeh in the big funeral in Iran, and then there will be additional mourning days in Qatar. So it may take a few days, but I have no doubt that they will both, Hezbollah and Iran react. Manya Brachear Pashman: Avital, thank you so much for just explaining all of these developments and what they mean. Avital Leibovich: Of course, I just hope that for once they will be able to talk about positive things and not only terror and wars. Manya Brachear Pashman: We hope so too. We hope so too. Thank you so much. Avital Leibovich: Thank you and Am Yisrael Chai.
Now that the dust has settled a bit, we can take another look at the Paris Olympics opening ritual. One spokesperson for the games confirmed that the organizer “Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting to create the setting." The woman taking place of Jesus, Barbara Butch, had also said online that her performance was meant to mock Christians. What do both of these people have in common? Jolly is a gay Jew and Butch is a self-described fat, queer, Jew. Considering how upset Christians were, and that the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also condemned the “insults” against Jesus Christ, noting that Jesus is a respected figure in Islam, perhaps the followers of Christ should reassess their relationship with Judaism and Israel. Considering the Talmud is trending on social media today, makes this all the more interesting. The fact Israel was also allowed to participate in the Olympics is yet another double standard that saw other countries like Russia banned.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com
Iran is vasbeslote om die sluipmoord op Hamas se politieke leier, Ismail Haniyeh te wreek nadat hy in Teheran dood is. Haniyeh het na die Iranse hoofstad gereis vir die inhuldiging van die land se nuwe president, Masoud Pezeshkian. Hamas en Iran het Israel die skuld gegee vir die aanval. Iran se staatshoof, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sê hulle sal seker maak Israel is spyt oor hul lafhartige optrede. Die Amerikaanse minister van Verdediging, Lloyd Austin glo egter 'n uitgebreide oorlog kan vermy word, ten spyte van die wraakdreigement:

Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas, was targeted and killed inside of Iran. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered a direct strike on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh.

En Iran, l'élection présidentielle a lieu ce vendredi 28 juin. Le scrutin a été organisé après la mort d'Ebrahim Raïssi dans un accident d'hélicoptère il y a un mois. Six candidats sont en lice dont trois favoris : deux conservateurs et un réformiste, sélectionnés par le Conseil des gardiens de la Constitution.
Alex Vatanka (Director, MEI's Iran Program) and Ali Afshari (Iranian political analyst and pro-democracy activist) discuss Iran's snap presidential elections, set to be held on June 28th, following the sudden death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month. The 63-year-old regime loyalist was widely viewed as a leading potential successor to the Islamic Republic's 85-year-old supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The elections come as Iran faces a number of challenges both at home and abroad, ranging from long-running domestic economic troubles and preparations for an eventual leadership transition to the regional reverberations of the ongoing war in Gaza and the tit-for-tat exchange of missile and drone strikes with Israel in April.
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss today's historic courtroom decision in the New York Hush Money trial where former President Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first-degree. This makes him the first American president ever to become a convicted felon. They also talk about a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll taken before the decision that shows voters' attitudes toward a Trump conviction in the New York Hush Money case. Then, they discuss whether the Trump conviction affects the GOP Vice Presidential race. They also talk about Nikki Haley's decision to write “Finish Them” on Israeli artillery shells during her trip to Israel over Memorial Day, Senator Fetterman's commencement address to Yeshiva University graduates, and the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's support for pro-Palestine protesters on U.S. college campuses telling them in a post on X that they were "on the right side of history." Next, Carl Cannon talks to Elaine Kamarck of the Brookings Institution about the gender gap in today's politics and whether women will make the difference in this fall's election. And finally, Tom Bevan talks to RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende about the current state of the presidential polls and Trump's chances for victory in November.

Brodsky"Iran's youth are completely alienated from this system, yearning for a different life free from oppression and economic hardship." — Jason M. Brodsky"Iran's nuclear program claims to be civilian, but the facts on the ground suggest a clear military intent." — Henrik F. Rasmussen"The axis of resistance is designed to encircle Israel in a ring of fire, exhausting its resources and deterring its operations." — Jason M.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an cúigiú lá is fiche de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin. Dúirt an Taoiseach Simon Harris maidin Dé Céadaoin go mbeidh Éire ag tabhairt aitheantas don bPalaistín go foirmiúil ón 28ú lá de mhí na Bealtaine. D'fhógair an Iorua agus an Spáinn go mbeidh siadsan ag tabhairt aitheantas don stát chomh maith. Luaigh an Taoiseach stair na hÉireann agus a heispéireas leis an gcoilíneachas agus dúirt sé go bhfuil sé dóchasach go leanfaidh tíortha eile an eiseamláir seo. Bhí an-fhearg ar rialtas Iosrael agus d'athghair siad ambasadóir na tíre in Éirinn. Chomh maith leis sin, tá barántas gabhála á lorg an tseachtain seo ag an gCúirt Choiriúil Idirnáisiúnta do Phríomh Aire Iosrael, Benjamin Netenyahu agus don Aire Cosanta, Yoav Gallant, chomh maith le triúr ceannairí de chuid Hamas. Tá an t-ionchúisitheoir ag an gCúirt ag iarraidh iad a ghabháil mar gheall ar choireanna cogaidh aguscoireanna in aghaidh an duine. Déanfar scrúdú ar na hiarratais go luath ach fiú má éisíonn an Chúirt an barántas, níl aon chumhacht aici é a chur i bhfeidhm. Cuireann an Chúirt i leith go bhfuil Netanyahu agus Gallant ag baint úsáid as an ngorta mar uirlis chogaidh. Tá níos mó ná 35,000 Palaistíneach marbh ó thús an chogaidh agus tá an daonra sa réigiún i mbéal an bháis leis an ocras de réir oibrithe cabhracha. Maraíodh Uachtarán na hIaráine Ebrahim Raisi, an t-aire gnóthaí eachtracha Hossein Amir-Abdollahian agus roinnt daoine eile i dtimpiste héileacaptair Dé Domhnaigh. Tharla an timpiste i gceantar sléibhtiúil in aice le teorainn na hAsarbaiseáine. Bhí an héileacaptair ag teacht thar n-ais ó shearmanas oscailte damba nuair a chuaigh sé i sáinn i gceo trom. Ceannaire ana-choimeádach a bhí in Raisi, duine a chuir faoi chois go cruálach éirí amach na mban agus nagcailíní in 2022.

Today's Headlines: Yesterday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the foreign minister, and other top cabinet members died in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran near the Azerbaijan border. Raisi was a contender to succeed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Now, Khamenei's son is a likely, though unpopular, successor. Iran will hold a presidential election on June 28th. Meanwhile, the ICC prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Hamas leaders for war crimes, sparking backlash from Netanyahu and President Biden. The U.S. House may vote on sanctions against the ICC. In Trump's trial, Michael Cohen's testimony ended, and the defense introduced surprise witnesses. The judge reserved judgment on a dismissal motion. Additionally, Truth Social's parent company reported significant financial losses but remains highly valued due to meme stock status. Finally, the Senate plans to vote on a bipartisan border package, though it's expected to face opposition from Republicans despite their past negotiations.

How could any member of the jury view Cohen as a credible witness? 3:15pm- While speaking with Bloomberg News, CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change Bernice King said: "I think there are people in the black community that are feeling like not a lot has changed, especially economically in the black community and I think many of them are being driven by that…especially black males who seem to be more attracted to Donald Trump and his candidacy." 3:25pm- CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten revealed that recent polling shows Donald Trump currently has 22% support among black voters—he was at 9% in 2020. 3:40pm- Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner—Mayor of the Borough of Mendham, New Jersey & Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her campaign and recently being endorsed by former President Donald Trump during his rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, where an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people were in attendance. Could New Jersey go red in 2024? 4:05pm- During cross-examination in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial, witness Michael Cohen conceded that he once stole $30,000 from his former employer, the Trump Organization. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig noted that larceny is “more serious of a crime than falsifying business records.” 4:15pm- Reporting from inside the courthouse, New York Times journalist Jonah Bromwich writes: “[Judge Juan Merchan orders that the courtroom be cleared after scolding [former Michael Cohen attorney Robert] Costello.” Several minutes later, journalists and the jury returned to the courtroom.

Gelman explains that Cohen's credibility has been completely destroyed, especially after admitting to stealing tens-of-thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. So, what happens next? Any element of reasonable doubt mandates the jury rule “not guilty”—and clearly there is a lot of doubt. 4:50pm- Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are getting divorced…again!? 5:05pm- After court concluded on Monday, former President Donald Trump told members of the press that the “hush money” trial is a disaster for the country and called on Judge Juan Merchan to dismiss the case immediately. 5:10pm- During cross-examination in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial, witness Michael Cohen conceded that he once stole $30,000 from his former employer, the Trump Organization.

We are done with another long day of court. The prosecution rested its case against Trump today, and the defense got through a significant portion of its own. If things go according to schedule, the defense will rest tomorrow, and the jury will be excused for the rest of the week, returning after the holiday weekend to hear closing arguments.” You can read more updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/20/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money?smid=url-share#ee4f4407-bdd5-55d9-b1cc-8b49e99df75a 5:40pm- Steven Bucci—Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Phillip N. Truluck Center for Leadership Development—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday. Earlier today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explicitly stated: “the United States had no part to play in that crash.” Bucci notes that Iran may try to blame America or Israel—though, it seems pretty clear this was the result of aged equipment and poor flying conditions. Could this death lead to revolution? Or will Ayatollah Ali Khamenei successfully stifle dissent? Bucci served America for three decades as an Army Special Forces officer and top Pentagon official. 6:05pm- Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has received outsized media attention after delivering the commencement address at Benedictine College—where he argued the importance of having both parents in the home.

Por otro lado tenemos todo alrededor del comunicado de la Corte Penal Internacional, sobre la desición de emitir orden de arresto contra el Primer Ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu y el lider de HAMAS Yahya Sinwar. El famoso psicólogo, Walter Riso estuvo en nuestros estudios para dar respuesta a una pregunta que muchas parejas se hacen: ¿Cómo no olvidarte de ti cuando amas a alguien?
Iran's regime just lost a safe pair of hands. Yes, another hardliner is sure to replace Ebrahim Raisi – known to detractors as the butcher of Tehran for the thousands of dissidents he sent to the gallows as a state prosecutor. But the president's sudden death in a helicopter crash may still change the equation – not so much for a presidential election slated by the constitution to be held in 50 days' time, but in the behind-the-scenes jockeying to pick a successor to Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader who is 85 years old and frail. Raisi – himself a cleric – had been tipped as a possible replacement. We ask about the crash and the challenges ahead for Iran.Then there are the country's 88 million citizens. Will they get involved? Since Raisi was elected in 2021, the regime has stared down the massive "women, life, freedom" protests but lost a great measure of its legitimacy. With pragmatists and moderates sidelined, recent legislative elections were marked by record low turnout. Will Iran's decision makers open the door to dissenting views or double down?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Imen Mellaz.
Les secours iraniens ont récupéré lundi les corps du président Raïssi et des autres passagers, dont le ministre des Affaires étrangères iranien et le gouverneur de la région de l'Azerbaïdjan oriental. L'Iran a décrété cinq jours de deuil national. Ebrahim Raïssi était un religieux ultra-conservateur, l'un des favoris pour succéder au guide suprême Ali Khamenei, qui détient les rênes du pays. Qui lui succèdera en Iran et quels changements politiques attendre ? En plein conflit avec Israël et avec les Etats-Unis, quel sera l'impact du décès du président Ebrahim Raïssi ? Du côté de la société civile iranienne, cette plongée dans l'inconnu peut-elle avoir des conséquences ?
After it was confirmed that Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash, all eyes look to who the next Supreme Leader will be. President Raisi was a hardline cleric who was close to Iran's 85-year-old Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and was widely expected to succeed him. With Raisi's death, global security analysts and geopolitical experts turn their attention to who will be the country's next leader when the time comes.

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': I'll dive into breaking news out of Iran, where a helicopter carrying Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi crashed in the mountains close to the country's border with Azerbaijan. There is still no word on Raisi's condition and rescuers have been unable to reach the crash site due to bad weather. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute will discuss the implications of this tenuous moment. And standing by his man. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who kept his job with the help of Democrats, decided to show his true loyalty to Donald Trump and ditched his day job to support the disgraced ex-president at his New York Trial. I'll ask Democratic Rep. Becca Balint what she thinks of the Speaker's attacks on the U.S. Justice system. In addition, President Biden delivers a high-profile commencement speech at the iconic all male historically Black Morehouse College, his most direct engagement with college students since the Israel-Hamas war protests erupted on American campuses. We will discuss whether his message will resonate with Black men beyond campus. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. It is day 195 of the war with Hamas. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode in the Jerusalem office. The United States led a group of 48 countries at the United Nations in condemning Iran's missile and drone attack on Israel last weekend. Horovitz weighs in. Egyptian officials tell a Qatari outlet that the US has accepted Israel's plan for an operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, in return for not carrying out a large strike in Iran in response to Tehran's unprecedented missile and drone attack. Horovitz postulates that Israel may have missed its chance for true retaliation for the Iran strike. The New York Times is reporting that “multiple American officials” think that Israeli officials miscalculated the severity of Iran's response to the April 1 strike on a building in Damascus in which several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders were killed. Based on previous targeted killings of key Iranian players, should Israel have anticipated Iran's large-scale potentially devastating strike? Horovitz conducted an interview with Giora Eiland, a former IDF planning and operations chief and the former head of the National Security Council under prime minister Ariel Sharon. We hear highlights of their discussion. For the latest updates, please see The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

US President Joe Biden has promised Israel "ironclad" support amid fears that Teheran will respond to the last week's attack on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus. On Wednesday, Iran's leader said the Israeli attack in Damascus was equivalent to an attack on Iran itself. "When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they attacked our territory," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Thamar Gindin , an expert on Iran from Haifa University's Ezri Center for Iran and Persian Gulf states and asked her how the possibility of an Iranian strike on Israel is viewed in Iran.

Part 1 of 3. Glenn Beck's- ‘Chosen By Allah': The Truth Behind Iran's Mission to DESTROY The West Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/TOuY0ipJ05o?si=nvosyUQP6DWbeJZj Part 1 of 3. Glenn Beck's- ‘Chosen By Allah': The Truth Behind Iran's Mission to DESTROY The West | Rumors of War Glenn Beck 1.21M subscribers 94,859 views Nov 20, 2023 Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, recently told Hamas it would NOT enter into the war against Israel and that the terrorist group had not given Iranian officials any prior warning of its attack on October 7th. Hmm…do we REALLY believe that? Because, in reality, Iran has not only been funding Hamas for years, but it has also publicly declared a mission to destroy America — and its allies — ever since it became a theocratic nation decades ago. Iran is willing to use any means possible to complete this goal…nuclear weapons included. But why? Why is there so much hatred against the West and its allies? What's fueling this goal? In this three-part series, which originally aired in 2011, you'll learn about the history and the dangerous ideology behind Iran's every move, the way Democrats and the Obama administration facilitated its progress, and just how close Iran is to its nuclear war goals… ► WATCH Part 2: • Part 2 | ‘Chosen By Allah': The Truth... ► WATCH Part 3: • Part 3 | ‘Chosen By Allah': The Truth...

SubscribeToday! Book by Glenn Beck - Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase (The Great Reset Series) by Glenn Beck. July 11, 2023 The Great Reset was just the beginning. At important meetings in 2021 and 2022, powerful leaders from government, finance, media, and business who support the World Economic Forum's plan for a Great Reset of capitalism launched a new “call to action” titled the “Great Narrative.” The Great Narrative campaign seeks to use the decay of traditional values throughout the West and new and future advancements in technology—including in the areas of artificial intelligence, automation, the metaverse, robotics, and more—to seize control of economies and societies in North America and Europe. The elites behind these proposals even plan to impact the way people across cultures and the planet understand what it means to be human and to have free will. According to the leaders of The Great Reset and Great Narrative movements, by the year 2030, your world will be fundamentally transformed. Together, the highly influential and often extremely wealthy figures and institutions behind the Great Narrative are building a troubling new framework for humanity, one that has the potential to change life on earth forever. Just as worrisome, the Communist Party of China and Vladimir Putin's authoritarian regime in Russia are adopting technology-centric approaches of their own to control citizens and institutions, both domestically and abroad. In Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase, New York Times bestselling authors Glenn Beck and Justin Haskins reveal the most important technologies and social and cultural changes that will soon cause an unprecedented level of disruption in the United States, as well as in countless other nations. They also outline the dangers and opportunities associated with these disruptions and provide a plan to protect individuals and families from losing their liberty. How the free people of the world react to the challenges outlined in this revolutionary book will change the course of history for generations to come. In this emerging, intense struggle for the future of humankind, whose side will you be on?
