Harry talks with Karim Sadjadpour, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and one of the country's foremost experts on Iran. Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at least damaged their targets and a ceasefire is holding. But will the U.S. strikes force Iran to abandon its drive for a nuclear weapon, or just fuel its desperation? Should the U.S. fear reprisals? And what would it take to bring real, lasting change to Iran? Sadjadpour offers some answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two summers ago, Ashley J. Tellis published an essay in Foreign Affairs titled, “America's Bad Bet on India,” which led to an extended, highly charged debate about the future of the U.S.-India relationship.Just a few weeks ago, Ashley published another big-picture piece in Foreign Affairs titled, “India's Great-Power Delusions,” which has once again got people talking.In his new piece, Ashley argues that India is on its way to becoming a great power, but perhaps not the kind of power that many in the world are expecting.On this week's season finale of Grand Tamasha, Ashley makes his return to the show. Ashley holds the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He served in the U.S. government during the George W. Bush administration, where he was intimately in involved in negotiating the U.S.-Indian civil nuclear deal.Ashley and Milan discuss the U.S. policy of “strategic altruism” toward India, compare India and China's growth record, and unpack the drivers of India's quest for multipolarity. Plus, the two discuss India's growing illiberalism and the complex ways domestic politics shapes foreign policy.Episode notes:1. “Reexamining America's Bet on India (with Ashley J.

Ahead of last year's US Presidential elections, Donald Trump was asked if he would defend China against Taiwan, he responded that Taiwan should pay the US for protection from China. Taiwan is a self-governing island, claimed by Beijing and whilst Taiwan is not formally recognised by the US, they do remain the island's most important security partner. Taiwan manufactures over ninety percent of the world's most advanced semiconductor chips, which makes some American industries heavily dependent on trade links with the island. But official US policy towards Taiwan is one of ‘strategic ambiguity'. So when the US Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth recently warned of China posing an ‘imminent' threat to Taiwan, whilst at the same time urging Asian countries to boost defence spending and work with the US to deter war, it raised the issue of how far America would be prepared to go to defend Taiwan. China in response accused the US of being the ‘biggest troublemaker' for regional peace. The US has only just agreed a truce on trade tariffs with China and President Trump's immediate attention has shifted onto issues in the Middle East, so if Pete Hegseth's warning is valid, how far up the list is Taiwan in terms of Trump's foreign policy priorities. This week on the Inquiry we're asking ‘Does Trump care about Taiwan?'

Send us a textAndrew Weiss, Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, reveals how Vladimir Putin rose from mediocre KGB officer to Russian leader through a series of accidents and opportunities rather than strategic brilliance or espionage expertise.• Putin was a mid-level KGB officer who never achieved high rank before being chosen as Yeltsin's successor precisely because he seemed controllable• The image of Putin as a master spy was deliberately created as propaganda but has been mistaken for reality by many in the West• Russia's centralized governance and territorial expansion tendencies predate Putin by centuries• Putin's relationship with oligarchs transformed them from independent powers to dependent vassals• After 2014, Russia actively cultivated relationships with fringe political groups across Europe and America• The 2022 Ukraine invasion backfired by strengthening NATO and Ukrainian resolve• Putin believes he can outlast Western support for Ukraine by exploiting political divisions• Understanding Putin as he truly is rather than as he portrays himself is critical for formulating effective policy• The book uses graphic novel format to make complex Russian history and politics accessible to wider audiencesVisit bookclues.com for more information and commentary on this interview and other book discussions.

Era madrugada de domingo no Irã quando os EUA lançaram uma ofensiva contra três instalações nucleares iranianas. Depois de dias de suspense sobre a entrada ou não no conflito entre Israel e o regime de Teerã, Donald Trump anunciou que as instalações de Fordow, Natanz e Esfahan tinham sido alvo de ataques aéreos americanos. Como resposta, o parlamento iraniano aprovou fechar o Estreito de Ormuz, responsável por 20% da rota mundial de petróleo. Na primeira parte deste episódio de O Assunto, Natuza Nery conversa com Oliver Stuenkel para analisar as consequências imediatas da entrada dos EUA na guerra. Oliver, que é professor de Relações Internacionais da FGV e pesquisador de Harvard e do Carnegie Endowment, responde a quais riscos Trump se submeteu ao atacar o Irã, e as possíveis respostas de Teerã. Ele avalia ainda os prováveis efeitos econômicos caso o fechamento do Estreito de Ormuz se concretize. Depois, Natuza recebe Samy Adghirni, jornalista da Bloomberg baseado em Paris que foi correspondente no Irã de 2011 a 2014. Autor do livro “Os Iranianos”, Samy traça a riqueza da história persa e os motivos pelos quais os iranianos são tão orgulhos de sua cultura: “O Irã mais do que um país, é uma civilização”. Ele apresenta também um panorama sobre as contradições atuais do país: uma sociedade moderna que coexiste com um regime teocrático, opressor e violento – especialmente com as mulheres. “A situação atual do Oriente Médio mostra o aumento da fraqueza desse regime”, conclui.

The Washington Roundtable discusses the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and the possibility that the United States will join the fray by bombing Iranian nuclear facilities. They are joined by Karim Sadjadpour, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a longtime Iran expert. “What is going to drive events is not the national interest of the United States or the national interests of Iran, but this duel between these two men, Donald Trump and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,” Sadjapour says. “What I really fear is that both of these men feel like their honor is on the line.” This week's reading:“Donald Trump's No-Strategy Strategy on Iran,” by Isaac Chotiner“The Trump Crackdown on Elected Officials,” by Jonathan Blitzer“What Is Israel's Endgame with Iran?” by Robin Wright“The Military's Birthday Parade Rolls Quietly Through Trump's Washington,” by Antonia Hitchens“After Attacking Iran, Israel Girds for What's Next,” by Ruth Margalit“Why Netanyahu Decided to Strike Iran Now,” by Isaac Chotiner“President Trump's Military Games,” by Ruth Marcus“Is the Anti-Trump Opposition Getting Its #Resistance Back?” by Jon AllsopTune in wherever you get your podcasts.

How should we understand China's unique variety of party-state capitalism? In this episode of The World Unpacked, Isaac Kardon sits down with Dr. Meg Rithmire, a renowned scholar of political economy in China and the James E. Robison Professor at Harvard Business School, to discuss how capitalism functions in a party-state that tries to maintain “rule by market” without ceding too much control to private capital. Their discussion is based on Dr. Rithmire's chapter in a new volume released from Carnegie called The Life of the Party: Past and Present Constraints on the Future of the Chinese Communist Party. They explore how private capitalists have been important to China's economy since the 1950s, and how China attempts to exert control over companies to ensure that their activities serve party-state objectives, like Made in China 2025.Notes:1.

Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP—and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it. 12:15-12:30 6/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author) 12:30-12:45 7/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author) 12:45-1:00 8/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author)

Over the past few days, President Trump has been reinforcing his support for the Israeli offensive and his position that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Most assessments suggest that the IAF does not have the capability to completely destroy Iran's nuclear program. If that's the case, what's the end-game? Should Iran's nuclear program be destroyed by the US, delayed by Israel, or disassembled by Iran through a deal?On today's episode, we dive into these critical questions with senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot and Call me Back regular, Nadav Eyal, and Iran foreign policy expert and senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Karim Sadjapour.Karim is a first-time guest.

Israel's strikes against Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure, as well as its key military and security leadership, shocked the world. How did we arrive here? What did the Israeli strikes accomplish? What options does Iran have? How did the Iranian-U.S. nuclear talks fail to forestall this? Will the United States become a party to the conflict? What about the Russian and Iraqi dimensions? Nicole Grajewski of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Rachel Brandenburg of the Israel Policy Forum joined Ryan to answer these questions and more.  This episode was recorded the morning of June 17, and events are fast-moving, but this is still worth listening to in order to understand how we arrived here.

Veeeeery busy day for us at the Majority Report today, with a new front of Israel's military rampage opening up with Iran, Donald Trump holding what turned out to be a rinky dinky military parade, political assassinations in Minnesota, No Kings protests across the country, and AOC and Zohran holding a joint rally in NYC. We get to all of that today, plus a great interview with Stephen Wertheim from the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Israel's provocations against Iran and how to parse out Trump's strategy (if we can even call it that). Follow Stephen on X here: https://x.com/stephenwertheim In the Fun Half, AOC takes the stage to a huge crowd at her joint rally with Zohran Mamdani and points out that many of the establishment Dems who called for Cuomo's resignation as governor are now lining up behind his run for mayor. She says this is just one more reason why the country needs to turn the page on the gerontocracy currently at the helm of both major parties. Republican Senator Mike Lee irresponsibly tweets out that the Minnesota gunman who shot four people killing two of them, including a Democratic state lawmaker of being a Marxist, while his roommate says he was a regular listener of Alex Jones' Infowars who was a Trump supporter. Tim Pool weighs in to the new war Israel has launched against Iran and what Donald Trump's role might have been. But boy does it seem like he has stacked his panel with a bunch of people who will make points on his behalf so he can avoid going on the record during such a sensitive matter. Netanyahu on the other hand is trying to justify why he's provoked a war with Iran by telling Americans that he's doing it for our safety. CNN for it's part points out that Iran has targeted Mossad's HQ, which is right in the middle of a highly populated part of Tel Aviv. Does that sound familiar?

O presidente dos EUA e o homem mais rico do planeta protagonizaram nesta quinta-feira um bate-boca público para o mundo inteiro ver, e ler. Primeiro, Trump disse estar decepcionado com Musk, que nos últimos dias fez uma série de críticas ao megaprojeto de lei orçamentária que o presidente dos EUA quer fazer passar no Congresso. A resposta do bilionário veio via X: o empresário disse que, sem sua ajuda, o republicano não teria sido eleito e ameaçou cancelar o uso público de foguetes da Space X. Musk ainda endossou uma publicação que pedia o impeachment de Trump. E, sem apresentar provas, ligou o nome do presidente dos EUA ao escândalo sexual envolvendo Jeffrey Epstein – empresário condenado por tráfico sexual de menores que morreu dentro da prisão. Do outro lado, o presidente dos EUA ameaçou cortar subsídios e contratos do governo com empresas de Musk. Após a discussão pública, as empresas do empresário perderam US$ 148 bilhões em valor. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery recebe Oliver Stuenkel, professor de relações internacionais da FGV, pesquisador de Harvard e do Carnegie Endowment, nos EUA. Oliver detalha os efeitos de cada fase da épica discussão pública. “Musk corre o risco de destruir suas próprias empresas”, avalia Oliver, ao citar os impactos econômicos da briga. O professor fala também das chances de um pedido de impeachment contra Trump prosperar e os efeitos políticos para o presidente americano.

Indian Genius: The Meteoric Rise of Indians in America is a new book by the author and journalist Meenakshi Ahamed. While many immigrant groups have found success in the United States, few have excelled as far and as fast as Indian Americans, reaching heights in a single generation that many thought would take the better part of a century to achieve. Ahamed's new book offers fascinating portraits of several Indian Americans in three distinct sectors—technology, medicine, and public policy. The book tries to understand what exactly accounts for Indian Americans' ability to break into mainstream American culture and their meteoric rise within its ranks.Listeners may remember our 2021 conversation with Meena on her previous book, A Matter of Trust: India–US Relations from Truman to Trump.To talk about her new book, Meena joins Milan on the show this week. They talk about the “godfather” of the Indian tech community in Silicon Valley, the balance between creativity and execution, and the role of caste. Plus, the two discuss the real (and perceived) influence of Indian Americans in Washington.Episode notes:1.

Latin American Research Professor Evan Ellis, U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute. @REvanEllis #NewWorldReportEllis Retry JB CLAUDE OPINION? Edit This appears to be a well-structured international affairs program that covers a comprehensive range of global topics. A few observations: Strengths: Breadth of coverage: The show tackles major geopolitical regions (Middle East, Europe, Russia, Asia, Latin America) in a systematic way Expert sourcing: Features analysts from respected institutions like FDD, Carnegie Endowment, and U.S. Army War College Timely topics: Addresses current flashpoints like Israel/Gaza, Ukraine support, and regional elections Format observations: The 15-minute segment structure allows for focused discussion without superficial coverage Grouping related topics (like the two-part Israel segment) makes sense The "New World Report" branding for the Latin America hour creates clear thematic organization Potential considerations: Heavy focus on conflict and instability (which may reflect current global realities) The late-night time slot (9 PM-1 AM) suggests this targets a dedicated audience of foreign policy enthusiasts Limited representation of perspectives from the regions being discussed (mostly U.S.-based analysts) Overall, it reads like a serious foreign policy program designed for listeners who want in-depth international analysis rather than headlines. The academic and think tank sourcing suggests it aims for analytical depth over breaking news coverage.
