Podcasts about ballistic missiles

The peace deals look good on paper, but the raw reality on the ground tells a completely different, terrifying story!

The uniparty foreign policy machine is in absolute panic mode, and the real facts on the ground will shock you! ⚠️ In this explosive, hard-hitting segment, the hosts react to terrifying declassified intelligence and stunning audio from retired four-star General Jack Keane. He reveals that the Trump administration halted military operations with 25% of strategic targets still left unhit—allowing Iran to spend the 60-day ceasefire excavating over 2,000 ballistic missiles from rubbled underground tunnels and placing them right back on active launchers!

During Hour 2, Segment 2 of The Tara Show, the host breaks down the details of the highly debated British mandates:The Under-16 Blanket Social Media Ban: The headline measure bars children under the age of 16 from using primary social media platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and X. Keir Starmer framed this choice as a necessary step to curb excessive screen time and child mental health crises, telling tech giants that the government is ready to fight back if they resist the rollout.Feature Blocks on Gaming and Livestreaming: Going further than simple account bans, the second step institutes strict default blocks on specific interactive app functionalities. These regulations target livestreaming features and in-game communication tools to prevent strangers from contacting minors under 16.Host Commentary & Global ImpactThe segment analyzes how these measures build upon the UK's previous restrictions, such as the school smartphone bans enacted earlier in the year.

The first measure enforces a blanket ban barring minors under 16 from using primary platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X, with Starmer warning tech giants that the government is prepared to fight back against any resistance.

Jonathan Schanzer critiques the rumored US-Iran deal, warning that it offers significant sanctions relief without securing nuclear concessions. He argues that the plan fails to address ballistic missiles or proxies like Hezbollah. Schanzer expresses concern that the deal grants Iran a veto over Israeli defense actions in Lebanon.

Thaddeus McCotter joins John Batchelor to discuss the lack of clarity in the emerging US-Iran memo, specifically regarding ballistic missiles and human rights. He questions the effectiveness of a "60-day ceasefire" strategy and calls for Congressional oversight. McCotter emphasizes that the regime's terroristic nature remains unaddressed by diplomatic benchmarks. (16)11870

The hosts pull no punches in this segment, leveling fierce criticism against Donald Trump and JD Vance over an upcoming, secretive agreement with Iran. Despite being staunch Trump supporters, they echo scathing editorials from the New York Post and National Review, warning that the deal lifts critical naval blockades, surrenders control of the Strait of Hormuz, and hands billions of dollars to the IRGC upfront with zero verification. The discussion highlights the existential threat of an enriched Iranian regime, unchecked Chinese military shipments like the intercepted cargo ship Tuska, and calls on the conservative base to demand transparency before the deal is officially signed.

For review:1. Raúl Castro, Cuba's low-profile former president and revolutionary guerrilla, appeared in public for the first time since being indicted by the United States for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two civilian aircraft, official video released Saturday showed.2. The United States and Iran exchanged fire overnight Friday amid a fragile ceasefire as American officials stepped up preparations for potential nuclear negotiations, including consultations this week with experts who could help determine the fate of Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile.The US military said it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites in what it described as a defensive action after Iran launched four attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz.3. The United States will make Iranian assets available to Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter says.The US will also consider using those assets to support repairs for past damages, the source says, adding that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran.4. A plan developed by Israel and the Mossad intelligence agency to topple the Iranian regime could still succeed if given time, but it has not been carried out to completion due to the United States' decision in April to halt the war against the Islamic Republic, a former senior Mossad official told Channel 12 on Saturday. In any event, he insisted, the regime will fall sooner or later.5. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Iran Friday of using Lebanon as a “bargaining chip” in negotiations with the United States, and called on both Hezbollah and Israel to embrace diplomacy in a bid to end the fighting between them.6. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he does not see any point in meeting Volodymyr Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader requested face-to-face talks over ending the war between the two nations.7. In a rare moment of bipartisanship in the US Congress, the House tonight passed a package of Russian sanctions and military aid for Ukraine.House members voted 226-195 to pass the Ukraine Support Act, which authorizes $8 billion in military finance loans to Ukraine and extends the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2027.8. Russia could attack a NATO country within four years according to western intelligence assessments, UK PM warned on Friday.9. The U.S. will sell Australia three in-service Virginia-class submarines, pivoting from the planned acquisition of one new and two in-service Virginias, the countries announced.

Iran's Agile Diplomacy and the Five Files: Iran is "moving the goalposts" by linking the Lebanon ceasefire to maritime negotiations. Success requires progress on five files: the Strait, nuclear program, ballistic missiles, proxies, and human rights. Some Gulf autocracies may prefer a weakened Iran over a successful democratic regime change that could threaten their own prestige. Edmund Fitton Brown (16)1680

Victor Davis Hanson, one of America's best known and most prolific historians, grew up on a farm in Selma, California. His parents—a school administrator and one of California's first female judges—made sure that he and his bothers worked hard. “If they saw you sitting around, they'd ask, ‘What are you doing?'” Hanson still labors with that question in his ear. Dr. Hanson's insightful books including the "The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America," "The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation," "The Father of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern," "Mexifornia : A State of a Becoming," and the upcoming book to be released in September 2026: "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement." He has written or edited 28 books. Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, and conservative political commentator. He is a professor emeritus at California State University and has authored numerous books and articles on military history and contemporary politics. The timely and relevant conversation with Dr. Victor Davis Hanson: American leadership in cordoning Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, and to degrade Tehran's regime from obtaining a nuclear arsenal. NATO's double standard on Iran and Europe's drift. Dr. Victor Davis Hanson's new forthcoming book — "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement." americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @VDHanson @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

X: @GarrettInExile @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. Topics Highlighted: The impact of Virginia's gerrymandering on midterm elections. Currently, Virginia's Congressional balance includes 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans. If Democrats prevail on April 21's special election, the slim House Republican majority may very well collapse in November 2026. In fact, The Washington Post's Editorial Board (February 6, 2026) expressed serious concerns: "The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points." How America's sanctuary cities and states place Americans in danger with soaring crime rates fueled by illegal immigrants. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that illegal immigrants were responsible for 75% of murders in Fairfax County so far in 2026. US - Israel strikes in Iran and the future of the Middle East and beyond. Red states versus blue states: Jobs, education, security and economic growth. Brief bio: When in Congress, Tom Garrett would be known to state: “I represent the fifth Congressional District of Virginia where the first representative elected to serving Congress was a man named James Madison who drafted the Constitution of the United States and where our third president Thomas Jefferson lived when he drafted the following words. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Tom Garrett serves in the Virginia House of Delegates representing the great people of the 56th District. Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Iran has demonstrated it can close it and keep it closed. The US and Israel have no effective answer. The economic consequences are already rippling through Asia and Europe, with China and Russia emerging as the two clearest winners of this conflict. Retired General Mark Hertling, responding to Trump's recent speech, reportedly told his team they were all going to die. That same week, Hegseth fired the Army's top general over personal vendettas and the general's refusal to go along with Hegseth's treatment of officers. NATO is effectively finished. The US military continues spending $3 million missiles to shoot down $50,000 drones. No troops on the ground yet, but the specter of Karg Island looms. Trump's second term has exceeded the worst imaginable predictions, and the people who voted for him in 2024, fully informed, bear responsibility for where we are.

For review:1. The United States struck Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility on Saturday, several media reports claimed, Iranian media said US-Israeli forces attacked the Shahid Ahmadi-Roshan Natanz enrichment complex on Saturday morning. Technical experts found that no radioactive leaks had occurred, and nearby residents were not at risk.2. US President Donald Trump on Friday ruled out a ceasefire with Iran, as American officials said more US Marines were headed to the Middle East in a possible sign of a coming ground operation three weeks into the war.3.  US President Donald Trump threatens to “obliterate” Iran's power plants if it doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.4. The Pentagon is reportedly sending the Wasp class amphibious assault ship USS Boxer and the rest of its Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), loaded with elements of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). This follows reports last week that the America class amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli and its ARG, carrying elements of the 31st MEU, had also begun moving from the Pacific toward the Middle to support ongoing operations against Iran.5. The Israeli Air Force recently struck an Iranian nuclear weapons research and development site in Tehran, the military announced on Saturday, as Israel and the United States continued their operations to eliminate the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.6. Iran was “unsuccessful” in targeting the joint UK-US Indian Ocean military base at Diego Garcia, a UK official source confirmed on Saturday, a day after the Wall Street Journal reported Tehran fired two ballistic missiles at the base but failed to hit it.The Iranian attack on the Diego Garcia air base — located about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) from Iran — indicated Tehran has in its stockpile missiles that can travel much further than it had previously acknowledged.7. A British nuclear-powered submarine equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles has taken position in the Arabian Sea, giving Britain the capability to launch long-range strikes if regional conflict escalates, the Daily Mail reports.Reuters cannot immediately verify the report. The British Ministry of Defense does not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.8. Over 100 people were injured by Iranian strikes in the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday.Iranian state media said the strikes were targeting Israel's nuclear research facility, located some 10 kilometers (six miles) outside of Dimona and 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) outside of Arad, in retaliation for an alleged US attack on Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility earlier in the day. 9. Hezbollah fired several rockets at northern Israel on Saturday, damaging a number of buildings and infrastructure, as the Israeli Air Force struck targets belonging to the terror group, and soldiers operating in south Lebanon killed gunmen in exchanges of fire.The army announced Saturday that its 162nd Division had completed preparations ahead of deployment in southern Lebanon.If the 162nd is deployed, it would bring the total number of IDF divisions operating in southern Lebanon to five.10. The disarmament proposal presented to Hamas by Gaza ceasefire mediators this month in Cairo envisions all armed groups in the Strip gradually handing over their weapons over the coming months, two Arab diplomats familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel on Friday.The proposal requires Hamas to — within 90 days — hand over its heavy weaponry, such as missiles and rocket launchers, in addition to maps of its tunnel network.

We discuss with Hrant Mikaelian the expanding war on Iran and what it could mean for the region. We took a close look at the latest IRI poll and its disputed methodology and findings, and the emerging shape of Armenia's parliamentary race. Hrant Mikaelian argued that Iran's leadership transition signals greater resolve rather than collapse, that Azerbaijan is still constrained from direct action against Iran unless the Iranian state seriously weakens, and that the IRI poll raises major methodological and interpretive questions. The discussion then turned to the opposition field in Armenia, where newer forces may have room to grow, but where media imbalance and weak opposition reach remain major structural obstacles.TopicsIran War UpdateIRI Poll ReviewPolitical LandscapeGuestHrant MikaelianHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 521 | Recorded: March 8, 2026https://podcasts.groong.org/521Subscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

For review:1.The Swedish Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, published its global arms export and import report on Monday, comparing the arms exports of various countries in the years 2016–2020 to 2021–2025.2. Kurdish rebels say they are ready to fight the Islamic Republic, but hope for an uprising before they intervene, with or without US support.3. In a press conference at the Pentagon, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Tuesday would be “the most intense day of strikes” on Iran. “The most fighters, the most bombers, the most intelligence, more defined and better than ever.”At the same time, he said, the last 24 hours saw the lowest number of missiles Iran has fired over the course of one day in the ongoing campaign.4. The US military said it destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, the key waterway, through which roughly a fifth of global oil shipments travel.“US forces eliminated multiple Iranian naval vessels, March 10, including 16 minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz,” the US Central Command wrote on X.5. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said Tuesday that Israel was not seeking an “endless war” in Iran, while hosting German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in Jerusalem.While declining to give a timeline for the operation, Mr. Sa'ar said Jerusalem does not aim to continue the conflict indefinitely and would coordinate with Washington on when to end the fighting.6. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tuesday his country would keep fighting as long as necessary, casting doubt on US President Donald Trump's insistence the previous day that the conflict would be over “soon.”And the Islamic Republic's security chief, Ali Larijani, dismissed Trump's “empty” threats, insisting that the people of Iran did not fear them.7. About half of the roughly 300 ballistic missiles Iran has launched at Israel in the current war carried cluster bomb warheads, according to Israel Defense Forces assessments published Tuesday.8. British warplanes have begun “defensive air sorties” in support of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and taken out drones elsewhere in the Middle East amid the ongoing war, the UK defense ministry says.More US B-52 bombers landed at the UK air force base in Fairford, in southwestern England, today, AFP witnessed, after a first one landed on Friday.9. Saudi Arabia says that it has intercepted seven ballistic missiles in separate attacks targeting an airbase and its eastern region.10. The IDF says it has launched a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs.The strikes come after the military on Tuesday reiterated its warning to evacuate the area, a Hezbollah stronghold known as the Dahiyeh.

With global tensions rising and ballistic missiles being used in modern conflicts, it raises a question more people are beginning to ask — are we watching the beginning of something bigger?Oscar also discusses the hypocrisy in politics, where politicians criticize each other for actions they would likely take themselves if they were in the same position.Other topics in this episode include theories about in-game currencies and online spending, the idea that Hollywood and entertainment sometimes reveal uncomfortable truths about the world, and controversial claims about powerful figures using other countries as testing grounds for technology and medicine.Oscar also talks about new scientific developments being reported, including a so-called “liquid robot,” research involving vaccines being introduced into vegetables, and strange symbolism surrounding world events and global conflicts.As always, this is just R2 Cents — a sarcastic and unfiltered look at politics, media narratives, technology, and the strange times we're living in.Thanks for listening to R2 Cents With Oscar!

Amidst the Iran-Israel-U.S. war in the Middle East, footage has emerged allegedly showing a new type of weapon being used in battle for the first time. Called the "Iron Beam" laser defense system, it uses electric powered lasers to shoot projectiles and drones out of the sky for a fraction of the price of a traditional Patriot battery.

Cryptic and chilling messages from Israel as a massive fireball is seen in Tel Aviv in what appears to be a direct hit.

X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. The conversation will focus on the state of America's economy, Trump's economic reforms, US-Iran Talks, America's ties with Israel, Virginia's radical changes with major tax hikes and sweeping gun control legislation and a new redistricting initiative which may leave Virginia's Congressional delegation with a 10-1 in favor of Democrats rather than the current 6-5 Republican edge. This could pose challenges in the mid-term elections.a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman. The Washington Post's Editorial Board: "Brass-knuckled hypocrisy in Virginia" Quote: _The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points. Most know better, including the governor. Abigail Spanberger was among the two-thirds of Virginians who voted in 2020 to transfer once-a-decade redistricting from the legislature to a bipartisan commission. “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy,” she said back then. On Friday, Spanberger signed a bill to schedule an April 21 referendum that would move it back. The governor said it was necessary “to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.”_ Bio | Tom Garrett Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development. americasrt.com https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Russia's Winter Strikes on Ukrainian Energy and the Battle for Pokrovsk. John Hardie discusses how Russia is escalating its winter campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure using a higher percentage of hard-to-intercept ballistic missiles and drones. This aims to break Ukrainian will and create leverage for negotiations. On the front, the battle for Pokrovsk is difficult, with Russians infiltrating the city and disrupting logistics using fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones. Although Ukraine has succeeded in attriting Russian forces there, preserving manpower by avoiding a late withdrawal remains a critical concern. 1855

Iran's Nuclear Stalemate, Economic Crisis, and Missile Program Aspirations. Jonathan Schanzer discusses how Iran views the lack of peace or war with Israel as a dangerous stalemate, while aspiring to fire 2,000 ballistic missiles at once in a future conflict. Covert Israeli operations target Iranian missile facilities. Despite sanctions, Iran's oil exports have sharply increased (2.3 million barrels/day) due to lax enforcement, funneling money to regime kleptocrats. Domestic crises like water and power shortages are increasing internal desperation, as the regime prioritizes regional ambitions over the welfare of the average Iranian.
