Newt talks with Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US), and the author of “The Iran Threat.” They discuss the ongoing protests in Iran, which began in late December due to severe economic hardships caused by runaway inflation. The protests have evolved from demands for economic relief to calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, a theocratic dictatorship currently led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Iranian government has responded with severe crackdowns, including internet shutdowns and lethal force, resulting in over 3,000 deaths and the arrest of at least 50,000 people. The protests have spread across all 31 provinces, with significant participation from various societal sectors, including small business owners who previously supported the regime. The organized opposition, particularly the MEK and its resistance units, play a crucial role in sustaining the protests despite government repression. Their discussion also touches on the historical context of the regime's reliance on repression and terrorism to maintain power, as well as the potential for international support to influence the outcome. Jafarzadeh concludes with a call for the international community to recognize and support the Iranian people's right to resist the regime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textGuest: Todd Friel, host Wretched TV and Radio ProgramsThere are many fiery situations in the world right now. In Iran, millions have been on the streets protesting with thousands killed by the Shia Islamist regime led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is on the brink of being ousted due to economic decline and repressive rule. This situation has significant ramifications for stability in the Middle East and even the end times.Here in my home state of Minnesota, violent confrontations continue against ICE agents by protesters and paid agitators and rioters, as agents search for and arrest illegal immigrants. President Trump has stated he is considering employing the Insurrection Act to use military force to quell the obstruction and violence which has been incited by MN Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.There are other fires—in Venezuela after the U.S. captured their Communist narco-terrorist president Nicolas Maduro; in England and Australia which are threatening and arresting their own citizens for social media content against Islam; in Ukraine where the intractable, deadly war with Russia continues.And yet all these fires at home and abroad are far less significant and lasting than what the Bible describes as the “unquenchable fire” of hell.Hell is an issue that is almost unspeakable, and rightly so, because of the horror of what it is—eternal conscious torment for all who have rejected God by not believing in His Son's substitutionary death and resurrection on the sinner's behalf. In fact, the final destination for non-believers is described this way in Revelation 20: “if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”Because hell is so horrific and never ending, there are many who question God's character in sending people there. They say, “I know sin offends the holy God, but punishment for eternity in hell is disproportionate to the crime.”Kirk Cameron, actor and Christian influencer and author, who has worked and associated with many sound Christians like Ray Comfort, Ken Ham, and John MacArthur, announced on his podcast recently that he no longer believes that hell is eternal conscious torment but rather that an unbeliever is eventually annihilated. In other words, unbelievers do go to hell for punishment but at some point they go out of existence.This is certainly not the first time the eternality of hell has been challenged and it won't be the last. Todd Friel, pastor of Alpharetta Bible Church in Georgia and host of Wretched, which produces radio and TV programs, joins us this weekend to examine what the Bible teaches about hell. Is hell being eternal an important doctrine to stand firm on? Is there a biblical basis that unbelievers are annihilated in hell, in light of what Jesus said in John 10, “fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”?We hope you join us for this important discussion.

Iranians began taking to the streets in late December. What initially began with protests against the spiralling cost of living has grown into a nationwide protest movement against the country's theocracy led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, authorities have cracked down hard. Will these protests lead to the end of the regime that has ruled Iran for 45 years? Our France 2 colleagues chronicle the events of the last two weeks, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

Protests in Iran ramped up over the weekend after the Islamic Republic regime – ruled by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – instituted an internet and phone blackout. But despite this, reports started to come out about a crackdown. On Tuesday, an Iranian official said the death toll, composed of both protesters and security personnel, was over 2,000 people.The protests have garnered some global supporters, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who has issued threats to the Iranian regime over its treatment of the protesters.Today's guest is Thomas Juneau. He is a professor with the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on the Middle East, in particular Iran and Yemen, and on the role of intelligence in national security and foreign policy making.He puts this moment of Iranian societal upheaval in context, and explains the calculations Iran's supreme leader and Trump are making, as they decide on their next steps.Questions?

At the end of December, protests erupted across Iran. The government has since cracked down hard with potentially thousands of Iranians killed. It now seems possible that the United States might intervene. Via social media, U.S. President Donald Trump has told Iranian protesters that “help is on the way.” We do not know yet what, if anything, Washington will do. But the repressive regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is being pushed to the brink after punishing years of war and sanctions.  Few observers of Iranian politics have thought more deeply about the regime and its future than Karim Sadjadpour. He is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. And he is the author of a recent essay in Foreign Affairs in which he underlines the fragility of the Ayatollah's regime and explores what might happen after its fall.  Deputy Editor Kanishk Tharoor spoke to Sadjadpour on the morning of January 12 about the upheaval in Iran, the weakness and brutality of the regime, what U.S. intervention can and cannot achieve, and about what kind of political order might emerge in the coming years.  You can find sources, transcripts, and more episodes of The Foreign Affairs Interview at https://www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/foreign-affairs-interview.

The turmoil started in late December, when some Tehran merchants closed up shop to protest the free fall of Iran's currency. That initial outcry sparked a wave of protests across the country. Demonstrators demanded not just economic reform, but a total overhaul of Iran's government and an end to repression. Some called for the ouster of the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Now the government has cracked down, and there are reports that hundreds of protesters have been killed. The country has been under a communications blackout since Thursday, making it nearly impossible to assess the extent of the bloodshed.Elahe Izadi speaks with Iran correspondent Yeganeh Torbati about how things boiled over - and what might be happening inside the country.Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff with help from Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. You can learn more about Torbati's forthcoming book on Iran here. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Donald Trump has promised he will ‘shoot at Iran' if Iranian security services attack anti-government protesters, but analysts suggest the US is not prepared for military action. It comes as the death toll from Tehran's crackdown on protests soars, and as demonstrations continue to shake the country. Lucy Hough speaks to the Guardian's diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour.

Iran is in the grip of its most intense unrest in years with protests spreading across the country and Donald Trump vowing that the US will defend Iranian protesters - prompting Tehran to accuse him of psychological warfare. What began in Tehran's bazaar over soaring prices and a collapsing currency has spread across 27 provinces, with inflation above 50% and a government struggling to contain anger over corruption and falling living standards.Human rights groups say dozens have been killed and more than 1000 arrested, as police move into universities and the judiciary warns that any period of concessions is over. So who will back down, the protesters or the regime? And what does this mean for the future of the Islamic Republic of Iran and it's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?On this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Professor Ali Ansari, a leading voice on Iran's modern history, and Doctor Sanam Vakil, director of Director, Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham house.

Over 2025, every Friday, the Sky News Daily has been profiling a figure in the news – those who are making headlines, creating conversations. During the festive period, we're revisiting some of those standout profiles – the ones that really got us talking.In June, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's often reclusive supreme leader, surfaced to hit back at Donald Trump's demands for an unconditional surrender.Khamanei first came to power as President of Iran in 1981, and he was a surprise choice for supreme leader eight years later. But since then, with the help of the Revolutionary Guard he has had almost complete control of Iran and its anti-Israel and anti-American foreign policy agenda.Sky's Tom Cheshire speaks to Alex Vatanka, founding director of the Iran programme at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, about how Khamenei is viewed inside Iran and how his policies contributed to the current crisis.Producer: Soila ApparicioEditor: Wendy Parker

It's Tuesday, October 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson                    Xi Jinping fired 9 Chinese military commanders China's communist system is in turmoil, as the defense ministry announces the removal of nine very senior military commanders from duty, including a number two general, He Weidong. Since 2023, the communist leader, Xi Jinping, has administered the removal of dozens of senior officers. These moves signal a factionalism from within the party and the Chinese military. Experts question whether Jinping will survive in his position. This week, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is holding its Fourth Plenary Session where leaders will work out a Five-Year Plan. The outcome of this meeting will reveal Jinping's standing in party politics. Keep in mind: God is in control. Haggai 2:22 says, “The word of the Lord came unto Haggai … I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. … I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.” Pakistani pastor survives murder plot A Pakistani pastor survived a murder attempt in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on the morning of Sunday, September 21, reports Barnabas Aid. Pastor Kamran Naz had been traveling by bus, accompanied by his mother, from his home in Gujranwala to lead a church service in Islamabad when he was attacked by two unidentified gunmen. One bullet wounded the pastor in the right leg. A second bullet narrowly missed his head. The attackers then fled on a motorcycle as some church members who were present swiftly came to the pastor's aid and contacted emergency services. Pastor Kamran had previously notified the police of numerous death threats. He was warned to stop ministering at the church or face the consequences.  Pastor Imran Amanat, leader of the Christian advocacy group LEAD Ministries Pakistan, said, “We will not be intimidated or silenced. We demand that the authorities immediately ensure the protection of Christian leaders and hold the criminals accountable. If the government continues to ignore these threats, it becomes complicit in the persecution.” According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Swedish parents lost custody over kids' required church attendance Certain European nations have now been recognized for their systemic violation of parental rights, especially if the parents happen to be Christian.  Alliance Defending Freedom International is working on a case in Sweden, where parents have lost custody of their children under charges of “religious extremism.” The parents had simply restricted the phone use of their teen children and required attendance at church meetings. After three years of attempts to regain custody, Daniel and Bianca Samson are appealing their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Recently, the High Court has already condemned countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, and Romania for systemic violations in family separation and child welfare cases. Iran threatens Israel Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to social media (X) yesterday, effectively taunting the American government, threatening Israel, and asserting independence for the nation's nuclear program. He asked, “What authority do you, Americans, have to dictate what a country should or shouldn't do if it possesses nuclear industry? What position do you hold in the world? How is it any of America's business whether Iran has nuclear capabilities and nuclear industry or not? .. . The U.S. President boasts that they've bombed and destroyed Iran's nuclear industry.

For review:1. Vice President Vance Travels to Israel to Shore Ceasefire Agreement.2. Ceasefire Status Returns After Two IDF Soldiers Killed in Rafah Leads to Israeli Retaliation.3. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday told US President Donald Trump to “keep dreaming” if he thinks US airstrikes in June destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities.4. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would honor the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and have him arrested if he traveled to Canada in an interview published on Friday.5. Ukrainian general Mykhailo Drapatyi has been named the commander of the Armed Forces' new Joint Forces Task Force, a new command structure responsible for the front line in and around Kharkiv Oblast, the force announced on Oct. 20.6.  Germany and the Netherlands are set to receive hundreds of Jackal infantry fighting vehicles under a €3.4 billion ($4 billion) contract.The procurement is based on a split between 150 Jackal units for German armed forces and 72 for the Dutch military.  A “call off” of up to an additional 248 units is also included.7.  Poland's Defense officials have sent requests for information to six countries for submarine designs for the Polish Orka (Orca) submarine program.8. Azerbaijan and South Korea have held defense talks in Baku to expand cooperation on military development and regional security.9. President Donald Trump threw his support behind the trilateral AUKUS agreement today, even suggesting the US is moving more quickly to provide nuclear-powered subs to Australia. 

On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion against Iran, shifting the balance of power in the Middle East. Iran's nuclear sites were bombed, its Air Defense Systems, crippled and top military leadership and nuclear scientists, assassinated. But did Israel achieve the objectives of this operation?

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with author and public intellectual Micah Goodman. Just ahead of this week's What Matters Now recording, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump sat in the White House for a celebratory meal. The table was set for a grand announcement -- a sealed hostage release-ceasefire deal -- but the guest of honor and his terrorist counterparts have yet to come to terms. Goodman looks back at the two huge "double gambles" made during these 21 months of war. The first was by former Hamas leader Yahye Sinwar, who launched the invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, after viewing the intense divisiveness in Israeli society. His double-or-nothing bet was that Iran and its proxies would immediately join in the onslaught -- they didn't. Goodman compares Sinwar's double gamble to that of Netanyahu, who launched a surprise preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program on June 13 and wagered that the United States would join. Now that Netanyahu's bet has paid off, Goodman describes how the region is ripe for a realignment -- if tough compromises can be made to end the Gaza war. And so this week, we ask Micah Goodman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran is still holding , but Iran's supreme leader remains hidden in a bunker, fearing assassination. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone to ground, issuing no public statements. The conflict has left some citzens, who had hoped for regime change, conflicted. Sahar Zand, a British-Iranian journalist who spent the first 12 years of her life in Iran, before fleeing with her mother to avoid political persecution, spoke to Lisa Owen.

Donald Trump said the “12 day war” between Israel and Iran was set to end in a ceasefire, holding out the expected deal as validation for his strategic gamble of ordering U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites - and said he did not believe Israel and Iran “will ever be shooting at each other again.” “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted on social media. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel would. It's unclear what role Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, played in the talks. He had said on social media earlier Monday that Iran would not surrender. Israel has not publicly confirmed that it has agreed to end hostilities.

President Donald Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer decisively destroyed Iran's nuclear weapon facilities and signaled strong U.S. support for Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump also posted on Truth Social the need for a "Regime Change" in Iran. The Sekulow team discusses the Trump Administration's strategic bombing of Iran (the roles that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio played), Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's response, whether Russia or China will get involved, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

There's the plan – and then there are the unintended consequences. The United States talks diplomacy, then bombs Iran. It suggests the targeting of nuclear sites may have been a one-off, yet leaves the regime uncertain: is regime change the real objective? Following its most significant show of force since the invasion of Iraq, will Washington take ownership of what comes next? For now, the US asserts itself as the sole superpower capable of projecting force in a region where China appears reduced to the role of chief oil customer, and Russia remains preoccupied with Ukraine. And with Israel now striking Tehran's notorious Evin Prison, it's clear this goes far beyond nuclear ambitions. We look at the options left to a weakened Iran – and the consequences of toppling a militarised theocracy. Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Guillaume Gougeon and Ilayda Habip.

Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has warned that any US military intervention in his country will "cause irreparable damage for them". Speaking on state television, the Ayatollah decried what he called "threatening and ridiculous" comments from President Trump, who on Tuesday said Iran should surrender. As Israel's air bombardment of Iran continues for a sixth day, we ask an Israeli minister and a defence official from Mr Trump's first administration whether Israel can achieve its war aims without America's help.Also in the programme: former tennis superstar Martina Navratilova discusses women's sport; and French streaming service Deezer tackles fraud involving AI music.(Photo: A TV screen displays the televised message of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran, June 18, 2025.

In Teheran herrschen Panik und Verwirrung. Israel hat die Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner der iranischen Hauptstadt vor weiteren Angriffen gewarnt. Der Konflikt zwischen den beiden Ländern dauert bereits den fünften Tag an. Autos voller Menschen, die auf der Flucht sind, warteten in kilometerlangen Schlangen vor Tankstellen. Auf den Strassen ausserhalb der Stadt herrschte Stau, wie Nachrichtenagenturen berichteten.Donald Trump doppelte auf seiner Social-Media-Plattform nach und forderte die Zivilisten in Teheran auf, das Land zu verlassen: «Der Iran darf keine Kernwaffen haben», schrieb der US-Präsident. Er fordert vom Iran die «bedingungslose Kapitulation», eine Formel, die an den Zweiten Weltkrieg erinnert. Ausserdem drohte er, den obersten Führer des Landes, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ins Visier zu nehmen, da er ein leichtes Ziel sei. Der Präsident rühmt sich auch, die vollständige Kontrolle über den iranischen Luftraum zu haben.Wann ist ein allfälliger amerikanischer Luftangriff auf den Iran zu erwarten? Kann Trump mit der Zustimmung seiner Anhänger und Anhängerinnen rechnen, falls er in den Krieg eingreift, obwohl er versprochen hat, ein Friedensstifter zu sein? Ist es ein Kalkül des Präsidenten, offenzulassen, ob er den Befehl zum Angriff gibt? Oder ist Donald Trump einfach impulsiv und unberechenbar?Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?» mit Martin Kilian, dem früheren USA-Korrespondenten und heutigen Podcaster in Charlottesville, Virginia.Produktion: Laura Bachmann   Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a bold and controversial statement, claiming that eliminating Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would bring an end to the current conflict between the two nations. Netanyahu argues that Iran's leadership is the driving force behind its nuclear ambitions and regional aggression, and that without Khamenei, the regime would collapse under internal pressure.However, President Donald Trump has come out firmly against this approach. He opposes the idea of assassinating the Iranian leader or pursuing regime change through force, citing the potential for massive regional instability and the risk of dragging the United States into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East. Trump has instead advocated for maximum pressure through sanctions and diplomacy, warning that military escalation could spiral out of control.On today's show, we break down these sharply divided perspectives, the potential fallout of targeting a head of state, and what history teaches us about the risks and consequences of regime change efforts. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

He says he wants "better than a ceasefire". Donald Trump has returned to the White House, leaving behind the rest of the G7 leaders in western Canada. After five days of war between Israel and Iran, the US president faces a stark choice: he can either approve bunker-busting bombs to target underground nuclear facilities or tell Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu it's time to stop. With air superiority over Tehran, Israel is doubling down on an operation that was in the works for decades. And while bombing raids have killed hundreds of Iranian civilians, the offensive has shown precision in assassinating top commanders. Among the latest is Major General Ali Shadmani, who'd only been in the job of Iran's top military commander for four days after the assassination of his predecessor.  But just how degraded is the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? What are its options? For now, the Iranians are still firing back, imposing far more casualties and damage than the usual rocket attacks from Gaza or south Lebanon. As for Israel's claim that it's reshaping the region, we put that to our panel. Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Aurore Laborie and Ilayda Habip.

I år 2040 – om 15 år – vil staten Israel være udslettet. Det har Irans religiøse leder, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, erklæret. Hvordan det skal ske, har det iranske præstestyre en hemmelig plan for. I Iran har man ligefrem en særlig Timeglas-Festival, hvor man – med mellemrum – tæller ned til Israels forestående kollaps. Men hvorfor er Israels udslettelse så vigtig for præstestyret? Er det virkelig derfor, landet satser hårdt på at udvikle atomvåben? Det her er første del af to om baggrunden for Israels angreb på Iran. I det her afsnit spørger vi Politikens internationale kommentator Michael Jarlner, hvordan Iran forvandlede sig fra et veluddannet, vestligt orienteret samfund til en islamistisk republik – og hvordan præstestyret – længe før Al Qaeda og Islamisk Stat - spredte skræk i Vesten og udfordrede USA.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Since 1979, Iran has endured Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's rule amid widespread dissent. Recent Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites killed key leaders and scientists, accelerating talk of regime upheaval.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected the latest nuclear deal proposed by the United States. He stated that Iran will continue to enrich uranium, arguing that doing otherwise contradicts the nation's spirit of self-reliance. While Iran claims that its enriched uranium is intended for energy production, there are widespread concerns that it may be moving toward weapons-grade levels. FOX News Contributor and former CIA Clandestine Officer Daniel Hoffman joins to provide insight into the situation.
