The war in Iran through the eyes of the Islamic Republic, and how Tehran's restrictions on information went full throttle. The Global Jigsaw looks under the bonnet of the machinery that shapes official narratives and controls the media in Iran. And we revisit the turbulent first days of the war as they unfolded on national TV, from the death of Ayatollah Khamenei to the surprise apology by President Pezeshkian and the rise of a new Supreme Leader. Producer: Kriszta Satori, Barry Sadid, Krassi Ivanova Twigg Presenter: Krassi Ivanova Twigg Music: Pete Cunningham

How did Ayatollah Khamenei ensure his son, Mojtaba, would take over after his death? How is this war a product of deep historical trends?

Hidden biblical patterns from Genesis to Revelation predict an Islamic takeover of the West that makes sense of everything from the plagues in Egypt to the Arab Spring to the Islamization of the West. Glenn sits down with Pastor Bill Cloud for a conversation that Glenn warns could get the pastor arrested if he were in Europe. Could the red-green alliance of Marxists and Islamists have been foretold in the book of Daniel? Bill shows where the Bible hints at an “Arab” kingdom set to rule in the last days before Jesus returns and reveals the connection between a broken covenant and the rise of the Islamic god. Glenn wonders how long until the tribulation, and Bill has a thoughtful answer for why so many Americans are questioning support for Israel and increasingly calling for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” They examine the similarities between the Antichrist in the book of Revelation and the 12th imam of Islam, and Bill explains why it's not men like Ayatollah Khamenei who scare him — it's men like Zohran Mamdani.      GLENN'S SPONSORS: Chirp: Give your spine a break. Visit ⁠⁠https://gochirp.com/beck,⁠⁠ and use code “BECK” at checkout for a 10% discount.       PreBorn: Together we can end the tragedy of abortion, one mother and baby at a time.

In this fascinating interview with nuclear expert Ankit Panda we discuss the escalating conflict following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and its implications for global nuclear deterrence. He argues that Iran's strategy appears aimed at regionalizing the conflict across the Gulf to generate diplomatic pressure, while questioning the credibility of claims about Iran's imminent nuclear weapons capability. We discussed:How the succession to Ayatollah Khamenei's more hardline son could alter Iran's longstanding restraint on both missile ranges and nuclear weaponization.The troubling lessons other nations (particularly U.S. adversaries like North Korea) may draw from Iran's fate (nuclear weapons provide the ultimate deterrent against regime change). How both adversarial and allied proliferation dynamics are re-surging in ways unseen since the Cold War, with countries from Seoul to Stockholm reconsidering their nuclear postures. Panda critiques last year's bombing campaign as ultimately counterproductive to nonproliferation goals, leaving 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium unaccounted for and eliminating IAEA verification continuity. Despite the current trajectory, Panda maintains that any sustainable resolution to Iran's nuclear program will require diplomatic engagement—though achieving that will prove extraordinarily difficult given how recent events have validated North Korea's narrative about the risks of cooperation with the West.Bio: Ankit Panda is the Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he focuses on nuclear strategy, escalation, missiles and missile defense, space security, and US alliances. He is the author of Kim Jong Un and the Bomb: Survival and Deterrence in North Korea and Indo-Pacific Missile Arsenals: Avoiding Spirals and Mitigating Risks, and his forthcoming book is The New Nuclear Age: At the Precipice of Armageddon. His work has appeared in outlets including the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and he serves as editor-at-large at The Diplomat, where he hosts the Asia Geopolitics podcast.

The war in Iran continues to widen as Israel plans expanded strikes in Lebanon, the new Ayatollah Khamenei vows revenge and tankers are hit in the Strait of Hormuz.

Following the joint US-Israel airstrike on the Ayatollah Khamenei, the late dictator's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been picked successor by the regime. The Trump administration has begun to signal its objectives, goalposts and exit plan—but is victory clearly defined yet? Meanwhile, a failed terror attack targeting a protest in New York signals cascading effects back home. This week, hosts Spencer Klavan and Mike Sabo talk through the latest in the war on Iran and its potential implications for the American Right's internal conflicts, including 2028 prospects for J.D.

The HITO men continue to discuss developments in the United States and Israel's war with Iran. Civilian infrastructure is now being targeted by all parties, Ayatollah Khamenei's son was selected as the new Ayatollah in a move that is functionally a double down on the Iranian side of the war, our Democrats continue to do functionally nothing, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham apparently gave Netenyahu tips on how to persuade him into striking Iran, and gas prices for us all are going up thanks to the Strait or Hormuz closure.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military, cyber, and intelligence operations against Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed and strikes were conducted on a broad array of targets, including other senior Iranian leadership compounds, IRGC bases, and missile launchers and production facilities. In response, Iran launched hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles against U.S. bases, Israel and countries in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar.  With no signs of the conflict winding down and unclear goals and timelines from leadership in Washington, where is this war headed? Was there ever a serious prospect for negotiations between the United States and Iran? What is the likely impact of the death of Ayatollah Khamenei on succession and the stability of the regime? Is meaningful and lasting regime change or transformation possible?  Join Aaron David Miller as engages with the Brooking Institution's Suzanne Maloney, International Crisis Group's Ali Vaez, and Yale University's Rob Malley on these and other Iran-related issues, on the next Carnegie Connects.

Iran has chosen its new Supreme Leader: Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the recently assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei. Who is he? What does he believe? And most importantly, is his coming to power the fulfilment of ancient prophecy?

Today marks ten days since the United States in a joint operation with Israel moved militarily to remove the threat of a nuclear Iran and those advancing such ideals. These ideals also included removing Israel from the face of the earth. Iran has put in place a new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the now deceased Ayatollah Khamenei. Efforts continue to intensify even as Iran shoots off missiles and cluster bombs at Israel. Dr. Richard Schmidt provides an analysis of the matters unfolding and what really lies ahead for this region prophetically.

This week Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme ruler of Iran, was killed by US and Israeli missile strikes. While Khamenei was lifelong enemy of the Jewish people, does that make it right to celebrate his death? What can the story of Purim teach us about this latter-day Haman? And with so many troubles in the world today, how can we justify celebrating a joyous holiday like Purim anyway? Rabbi Wildes takes on these questions and more.

Ayatollah Khamenei is dead. President Trump just demanded unconditional surrender from Iran and warned the new Supreme Leader won't last long.In this explosive episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down why this is pure America First in action — not “another forever war.” Trump is finishing what weak presidents refused to do for 47 years.Over 3,000 targets destroyed. Seven American heroes honored. The regime that murdered thousands of its own people and hundreds of Americans is finally facing the end.Doug refutes the left, RINOs, and fake MAGA critics screaming that Trump “abandoned” the movement. This IS MAGA — peace through strength.He draws the powerful parallel to Ronald Reagan facing the Soviets and JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis, reminding us that freedom isn't free.If you want straight talk with zero spin, this is the episode for you.

Lindsey Graham claims credit for pushing Donald Trump into an unauthorized war with Iran by using word association games and flattery. This conflict has escalated rapidly as the US and Israel utilize advanced artificial intelligence to pick bombing targets and assess battle damage. Despite the lack of an imminent threat or a clear exit strategy, military strikes have already resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting US radar installations across the Gulf region, successfully degrading defense systems in multiple countries. At home, American citizens face the consequences with gas prices surging toward $5 a gallon. Within the Republican party, internal friction grows as Dan Crenshaw loses his primary for being insufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump now threatens to block all legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed, even as a record number of GOP members choose to retire rather than serve in the minority. While global tensions rise and Trump suggests Cuba may be the next target, the focus remains on a war that many argue was entirely avoidable.

The Iranian regime has defied Donald Trump, choosing the son of the slain Ayatollah Khamenei as the country's new Supreme Leader.

More than a week after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's clerics choose a new supreme leader. Tehran is covered in black smoke, as US-Israeli strikes continue. More attacks in the Gulf and Lebanon. Kurdish forces in Iraq prepare to cross border to fight the Iranian regime.

Since coming to Washington, DC in April 2025, Congressman Randy Fine has risen to become one of the most highly effective communicators on Capitol Hill, clearly articulating the importance of implementing principled reforms and boldly addressing challenges and opportunities we face in America today. His messages remind us of President Ronald Reagan's smart responses, explaining in a simple language what we are facing as Americans, and presenting the unvarnished truth. Topics: — US and Israel airstikes against Iran's regime : A timeline of Iranian terrorist attacks and threats leading to America's just intervention. — Certain mosques on American soil mourning the death of the head of State Sponsor of Terrorism Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei. — Congressman Fine's message to Europe and NATO members. — The Impact of U.S. economic reforms.

After the US-Israel attacks on Iran, surrounding countries have quickly been drawn into the war following retaliatory strikes by Iran. We hear from Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Cyprus.The US-Israel attacks on Iran hit major cities across the country, destroying civilian buildings in Tehran, as well as military sites in Natanz and Isfahan. Many Iranians are now trying to flee the ongoing attacks by crossing into neighbouring countries. James Waterhouse reports from the Turkey-Iran border.There's a sense of déjà vu for the people of Lebanon who are once again forced to shelter after the militia group Hezbollah launched missiles and drones into Israel to avenge the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. Israel replied with attacks on Hezbollah's Shia strongholds in the south. Wyre Davies has been in Beirut.Many of the missiles fired towards Israel failed to penetrate its Iron Dome defence system - but not all. Nine people died after a synagogue in Beit Shemesh was hit, penetrating the bomb shelter beneath it. Hugo Bachega reports from Tel Aviv.The strikes on Iran have had significant repercussions across the region, as Iran targets countries hosting US military bases. Cyprus was among those hit - a long-time base for the British RAF. Jessica Parker visited the base in Akrotiri.And a renowned restaurant in Berlin which cast itself as a symbol of breaking bread across religious and political divides has just gone out of business. Is it just another victim of rising rents and economic instability?

SummaryClayton Cuteri traces the full chain of events that led to the current U.S. war with Iran, starting with Britain's control of Iranian oil in 1901 through Operation Ajax in 1953, the hostage crisis, the Iran-Iraq war, Clinton-era sanctions, and the JCPOA nuclear deal that was working until Trump withdrew in 2018. Clayton lays out exactly how this single decision triggered Iran's nuclear escalation, Israel's Operation Rising Lion, the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, and a war that has killed over 1,300 Iranians and 165 schoolgirls in a precision airstrike. Clayton exposes the real motivations behind the war: the petrodollar system and Iran's financial independence from the IMF and Western banking. He reveals the pattern connecting Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, and now Iran as countries targeted after abandoning the U.S. dollar for oil trade. The episode closes with a powerful spiritual framework connecting Israel's past-based thinking, Trump's future-based fear, and the only real solution: present-moment consciousness.BONUS: Clayton discusses some Indigo Education knowledge.Clayton's NewsletterJoin HereClayton's Social Media LinkTree | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Rumble | FaceBookTimecodes 00:00 - Intro 01:53 - How Britain Stole Iran's Oil06:00 - The Original Sin: Operation Ajax11:00 - The Hostage Crisis and Reagan18:00 - The JCPOA Deal That Was Working24:00 - Operation Rising Lion and the War30:00 - 165 Schoolgirls Killed in a Precision Strike37:00 - The Petrodollar Pattern They Hide43:00 - Iran vs. the IMF and World Bank53:00 - The Spiritual Framework: Past, Future & PresentIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don Kin Instagram | Spotify Super grateful for this guy ^Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/traveling-to-consciousness-with-clayton-cuteri--6765271/support.Listen to the Podcast AD-FREE HERE for $4.95/monSign Up for my Newsletter HEREALL Indigo Education Podcasts HEREMy Book: The Secret Teachings of Jesus HEREOfficial Traveling to Consciousness Website HERE

As the crisis in the Middle East has escalated, Donald Trump's posturing has led many to question his strategy – and if he even has one. Geoffrey Cain, former foreign correspondent, expert on authoritarian regimes – and the author of this week's cover piece in the Spectator, joins Freddy Gray to explain why Trump's ultimate target in the war is China. From the Belt and Road development initiative to more tacit bilateral support, President Xi has been playing a game of chess, to try to check America's power. With Nicolas Maduro arrested and Ayatollah Khamenei assassinated, President Trump is showing his willingness to project American power, at whatever cost – so far. Cain raises questions for those who assume we're moving to a multipolar world.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Americans woke up on Saturday morning to news that Trump and Israel had bombed Iran, killing Ayatollah Khamenei along with top Iranian military leaders. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases and allies in the region. Asha and Renato analyze Trump's inarticulate and circular reasons for launching the attack, what triggers the War Powers Resolution and how a president has “first-mover advantage” when it comes to taking the country to war. Then, Renato and Asha turn to the Trump administration's latest retaliatory moves at home: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk after the company refused to let its AI model be used for autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance, and the Justice Department's clumsy moves against four law firms that successfully challenged Trump's executive orders against them.

Column (3/4/26) This week on CounterSpin: As a radio producer, you get pitches; to paraphrase one we got this week: Dear Janine, the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iranian military targets and leaders this weekend. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei was killed, as were key Iranian leaders.  President Trump is urging Iranians to rise up and overthrow the regime…. What will the impact be on the economy? On Wall Street?  What does this mean for markets and investors going forward? We were then offered a guest who will tell listeners that “concerns about the attacks causing economic chaos are overblown…. The markets will panic initially and then stabilize.” And, most importantly, “this ends the uncertainty that was impacting the markets over Iran…. If American and Israeli objectives are met, it could lead to dramatically reduced gas prices long-term.” No mention of parents in Minab, who dropped their daughters off at school March 3 and now have to bury them. What's losing a child when we’re talking about you maybe—or maybe not—paying less at the pump, amirite? It would be one thing if it were a guy at the end of the bar, but we have official “smart people” news media instructing us on how we should think and feel about attacks—paid for with our sometimes important “tax dollars”—raining horror on Iranians whose crime is that they didn't overthrow their disapproved leadership. Ask yourself if you want that to be the criterion for violent aggression around the world. It's hard to parse US corporate news coverage of the attacks on Iran if you aren't willing to let go of the idea that might does not, in fact, make right—along with your ideas about what a better world could look like. That's why we grow our critical faculties, and support media outlets that, whatever else they do, don't tell us that the US and Israel killing Iranian children is just something to consume with your breakfast cereal. Gregory Shupak is an academic and activist, as well as author of The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel and the Media from OR Books. We talk with him about the US war on Iran this week on CounterSpin. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260306Shupak.mp3

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach examines the life and death of Ayatollah Khamenei, highlighting the evil and oppression he caused under the guise of being divinely appointed. He reminds listeners that hell exists as a place of God's justice, where the wrongs done to victims are acknowledged and righted. Pastor Zach points to Jesus Christ as the ultimate answer for our own sin, offering redemption instead of reckoning for those who turn to him.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Daniel Byman, and Ari Tabatabai for an in-depth discussion of the U.S. military operations against Iran, including:“Isn't it Iran-ic.” Trump's decision to join Israel in removing Ayatollah Khamanei reflects a deep reversal by the president, who has spent years criticizing his predecessors' own experiences with regime change and other overseas adventurism. What drove Trump to proceed this time, after stopping short twice in the past year? What can we learn from the way the Trump administration has proceeded? And how far will Trump let things go?“Bibi's Big Adventure.” Regime change in Iran is something Israel and the Arab Gulf states have advocated for frequently in the past. But they had all adopted a more cautious and even conciliatory posture toward Iran in the months before the current offensive, at least in public. How has the region approached this conflict? And what will it do moving forward?“MIGA.” The death of Ayatollah Khamenei is a major shift in Iran, but we don't know where it is going to lead. One concern that people have always had about regime change in Iran is that it will be highly destabilizing, resulting in a failed state in a crucial corner of the Middle East. On the other end, other people have asserted that removing the Ayatollah and his regime will give Iran the opportunity to flourish back into a democracy, or at least something closer to a state that's more stable and free than Iran has been for the last several decades. Between the two is a mass spectrum of possibilities. What does the future hold for Iran in the post-Ayatollah era, if that's the era that we're heading into?In object lessons, Ben is vibe-coding his way through Lawfare's litigation tracker, as well as vibing his way through The Rest is History's four-part series, Revolution in Iran. Dan is war-gaming his way through the attack on Iran with Next War: Iran. Scott is consuming as much Iran content as he can get his hands on with (another) Scott Anderson's “King of Kings,” Roy Mottahedeh's “The Mantle of the Prophet,” Gary Sick's “All Fall Down,” and Dutch documentary “The Birthday,” finally discovered online by Lawfare's own Anna Hickey.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — Israel strikes the very body responsible for selecting Iran's next supreme leader, targeting members of the Council of Experts in what appears to be a calculated move to prolong Tehran's leadership vacuum and prevent the regime from consolidating power after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. We examine what this means for Iran's internal stability and whether the Islamic Republic can reestablish command and control. Later in the show — Iran escalates further, launching drone strikes against the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. While casualties were limited, the attack signals a widening battlefield and raises serious questions about Tehran's willingness to directly target American diplomatic facilities across the region.

Today's Headlines: The U.S. and Israel launched Operation EPIC FURY, striking more than 1,000 targets across Iran. Iran retaliated widely, aiming at U.S. bases in the Gulf but also hitting civilian sites in Dubai, including the airport, the Burj Al Arab, and the Fairmont Palm Hotel. President Donald Trump said the U.S. sank nine Iranian warships, warned Americans to expect casualties and by Sunday, three U.S. service members were dead. In a major escalation, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were reported killed, along with dozens of senior officials. Iran then closed the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil supply. Oil prices are projected to jump roughly 9% as markets reopen. Members of Congress from both parties are now pushing for a War Powers Act vote, noting they were not consulted before the strikes began. At the Pentagon, AI drama escalated. After asking how its model was used in a prior operation, Anthropic lost a $200 million federal contract and was labeled a “supply chain risk” by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Within a day, the Pentagon reached a deal with OpenAI, which says it maintains similar guardrails. Separately, reporting from The Washington Post and ProPublica details a draft executive order circulated by Trump allies that claims China interfered in 2020 and could declare a national emergency affecting election administration ahead of the midterms. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly convened allies to discuss the plan. Speaker Mike Johnson warned losing the midterms would effectively end Trump's presidency. And in Austin, Texas, two people were killed and 14 wounded in a bar shooting now being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism.

Is the world on the brink of World War 3? Or is the escalating war with Iran—Operation Epic Fury—the most audacious political distraction in modern history? In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, we investigate the terrifying connection between the bombs dropping in the Middle East and the bombshell revelations from the Jeffrey Epstein files that are closing in on President Donald Trump. Just as the Department of Justice was caught red-handed hiding over 50 pages of FBI documents detailing sexual abuse allegations against Trump from the Epstein case, the world was plunged into a new war. Coincidence? Or a calculated “Wag the Dog” maneuver to save a presidency from a scandal that could unravel it all? We follow the smoking-gun timeline, connecting the dots between the DOJ cover-up and the unconstitutional, unauthorized war that has already left American soldiers dead. This is the episode the mainstream media is too afraid to make. We are not just discussing headlines; we are exposing a potential conspiracy that trades lives for silence. In this episode, we dissect: Operation Epic Fury: The truth behind the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. The DOJ Cover-Up: The bombshell NPR report that proves the government is hiding Trump-related Epstein files. The “Wag the Dog” Playbook: How starting a war is a classic tactic to distract from domestic scandal. The Smoking-Gun Timeline: A step-by-step breakdown of how the war started just 48 hours after the Epstein cover-up exploded. The Human Cost: The moral crisis of soldiers dying to bury a political scandal. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains frank discussions of child sexual abuse, military conflict, and political corruption that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. Please take care of your mental and emotional health first. If you are ready to look past the headlines and question the official narrative, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with everyone you know. The truth is our only weapon. #EpsteinWar #WW3 #TrumpIranWar #WagTheDog #DOJCoverUp #LifePointsWithRonda #WorldWar3 #OperationEpicFury #EpsteinFiles #PoliticalPodcast

Monday's A.M. Update recaps one of the most extraordinary geopolitical weekends in recent memory: President Trump announces Operation Epic Fury, a massive U.S.-led (with heavy Israeli involvement) campaign of precision strikes dismantling Iran's nuclear sites, missile capabilities, air defenses, naval forces, and proxy networks after Tehran rejects zero-enrichment demands and attempts rebuilding. Initial volleys eliminate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and dozens of top IRGC and political leaders—enabled by CIA intel and executed by Israel—sparking nationwide celebrations in Iran. Iran's command structure fractures, with foreign minister admitting isolated, independent military actions; retaliatory strikes hit Gulf neighbors and bases, uniting regional powers against Tehran. Three U.S. service members killed in early action; domestic terror incident in Austin probed for links. Big-picture reflections on frightening allied military/intel capabilities, shifting Middle East dynamics, China's oil vulnerabilities, and lessons on decisive force versus endless nation-building.   A.M. Update, Aaron McIntire, Operation Epic Fury, Iran strikes, Ayatollah Khamenei dead, Israel US alliance, nuclear program dismantled, IRGC leaders eliminated, Gulf states response, Tom Homan, Austin terror shooting

The United States and Israel's strikes against Iran continued throughout the weekend, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, top officials and civilians. Iran has retaliated with strikes on Israel, Gulf countries and U.S. bases.
