Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio discuss the instability of the Iran MOU and the upcoming Doha talks. He contrasts this with a balanced Israel-Lebanon framework that aims to marginalize Hezbollah. However, the MOU's vague language allows Iran to claim legitimate control over the Strait of Hormuz. 121950

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-29-2026.1950Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms. The US lacks a plan to force Iranian understanding of consequences. 1Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio examine regional dynamics, noting the Iranian system remains unchanged despite the Supreme Leader's death. Haqqani describes the US-Iran memorandum as a "damp squib" that ignores fundamental security issues. Roggio suggests Saudi Arabia feels "stuck" with the US but may reconsider its primary regional backing. 2Ernesto Araújo addresses the Venezuelan earthquake and the Maduro regime's inability to manage the crisis, calling leadership a "gangster gathering." He sees international aid as a chance for accountability and renewal. He also questions why the US hesitates to allow democratic leader María Machado to return home. 3Ernesto Araújo discusses recent democratic victories in Colombia and Peru, characterizing them as a rejection of organized crime and socialism. He criticizes media bias for framing these shifts as a "right-wing drift" while ignoring the deep-seated corruption of regional leaders like Lula da Silva. 4Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio analyze Iran's perceived "escalation dominance" in the Strait of Hormuz after the US lifted its naval blockade. Schanzer argues Iran uses the waterway as leverage to derail nuclear talks. Roggio critiques the US admission that there is no military solution to the waterway. 5Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio investigate reports of damaged historic sites in Iran, suggesting they are Iranian information operations. Schanzer explains that many sites were actually torched by protesters rejecting Islamism. He also notes the morality police are doubling down on control following recent ceasefire stunts. 6David Daoud explores the Israel-Lebanon security deal and the IDF's destruction of a major Hezbollah arsenal. Daoud explains the concept of "pilot zones" where the Lebanese Armed Forces must perform demonstrably before territorial expansion. He notes Hezbollah wants a pragmatic end to pain but rejects normalization. 7David Daoud and Bill Roggio analyze "pilot zones" as a mechanism to hold Lebanon's feet to the fire regarding Hezbollah's disarmament. Daoud warns that if the US prioritizes quiet with Iran, these zones could become pressure tactics against Israel rather than mechanisms for actual Lebanese performance. 8Richard Epstein critiques the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision allowing the President to fire independent commission heads. Epstein argues this undermines the separation of powers between prosecution and adjudication. He warns that "presidential accountability" is an illusion in such a unitary power structure. 9John Hardie and Bill Roggio report on Russian fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on refineries. Hardie notes this crisis breaks Putin's "social contract" of stability for passivity. Despite economic trouble, Putin maintains maximalist war demands due to inflated military reports from his general staff. 10Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the UN's "toxic obsession" with Israel and its lack of evidence regarding genocide claims. Fitton-Brown highlights how China and Russia manipulate the UN system to avoid scrutiny. He notes Israel is uniquely targeted by permanent commissions while worse regimes go free. 11Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio discuss the instability of the Iran MOU and the upcoming Doha talks. He contrasts this with a balanced Israel-Lebanon framework that aims to marginalize Hezbollah. However, the MOU's vague language allows Iran to claim legitimate control over the Strait of Hormuz. 12Henry Sokolski examines the stalemate over Iran's nuclear program following a previous B2 raid. Sokolski notes Iranrefuses IAEA inspections at damaged uranium enrichment sites. He warns of massive plutonium risks at the Bushehrplant and calls for public hearings on regional nuclear restraint. 13Ahmad Sharawi documents Hamas's presence in Turkey, where senior operatives enjoy sanctuary to plot attacks in the West Bank. Sharawi notes Turkey provides a permissive environment to weaken Israel's regional freedom. Hamas maintains leadership and financing networks despite being whittled down in Gaza. 14David Maxwell and Gordon Chang analyze North Korea's "salami slicing" strategy in the DMZ designed to normalize its activities. Maxwell warns Kim Jong-un seeks to divide the US-South Korea alliance. He urges a superior political warfare strategy to expose and strangulate North Korea's malign activities. 15Gordon Chang challenges China's manufacturing numbers as "science fiction" and the promotion of robotics to hide massive youth unemployment. Chang explains that Xi Jinping prioritizes manufacturing over consumption to keep the population dependent. He also warns of rising state-promoted xenophobia against foreigners. 16

After the United States and Iran exchanged fire over the weekend, President Donald Trump announced that Iran has asked to meet with his Administration in Qatar. The Trump Administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, will meet with Iranian negotiators in Doha tomorrow. The Sekulow team discussed how the broken ceasefire could affect the peace deal, the impact of the Strait of Hormuz on oil prices, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is on a lightning tour of Persian Gulf allies, trying to shore up support for the US-Iran agreement. But as the negotiations plough on, there are differences about the MOU being expressed publicly by both the Iranian lead negotiators and President Trump. Where will this all settle, and how do the Persian Gulf states view this? Georgetown professor Mehran Kamrava joins Christiane from Doha in Qatar, and Daniel Silverberg, former US National Security Advisor to the House Majority Leader, joins from Washington DC.   Also on today's show: Alon-Lee Green & Rula Daood, Co-Chairs, A Place for Us All; Michael Auslin, author, “National Treasure”    Learn more about your ad choices.

Le Refugee Food Festival tient sa 11ème édition avec toujours la même ferveur et le même objectif : faire changer le regard porté sur les réfugiés, et la recette est bonne : le temps du festival, aux fourneaux, des cuisiniers réfugiés conçoivent un menu à 4 mains avec des chefs de restaurants locaux qui partagent leurs fourneaux. Les histoires et les récits se mêlent, la langue est celle de la cuisine, celle des gestes et des goûts, elle se passe de vocabulaire.   De ces rencontres, naissent des plats uniques pour le festival. Au-delà du festival, l'association créée en 2016 se mobilise toute l'année pour accueillir, former et aider à l'insertion des réfugiés par la cuisine.  « C'est vraiment né de ces voyages et de la conviction que la cuisine est en pouvoir et un outil très fort de découverte et de compréhension, quelque chose qui permet de valoriser aussi qui on est, son identité, d'où on vient, de perpétuer aussi des traditions qui font notre identité.

In this episode, Bakhti sits down with Nate Mook, an award-winning documentarian who has led organizations providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine since Russia's launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. Mook offers a firsthand account at how the organizations he has led, including World Central Kitchen and All Hands & Hearts, have adapted to provide for Ukrainians' evolving needs over the course of the war. Bakhti and Nate also discuss why Nate began working in Ukraine, how he has rallied international support for Ukraine in a challenging media environment, and what he thinks policymakers are missing about Ukrainian society. --- Nate Mook is a seasoned leader and gifted storyteller who transforms words into action and ideas into impact. From 2018 to 2022, Nate served as the first CEO of World Central Kitchen (WCK), leading its transformation from a small operation with under $1 million in revenue to a global humanitarian powerhouse raising $500 million annually. Following his time at WCK, Nate served two years as Special Advisor on Ukraine for the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. In recognition of his efforts for the Ukrainian people, Nate was awarded the Order of Merit by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In 2025, Nate became CEO of All Hands & Hearts, the disaster relief nonprofit co-founded by Petra Němcová. He is also a co-founder of Hachiko Foundation, supporting cats and dogs affected by war in frontline Ukrainian communities. Nate serves on the boards of March For Our Lives, a youth-led movement against gun violence, and Save Ukraine, which has rescued over 670 children abducted by Russia. He also advises Razom for Ukraine, on its advocacy efforts. Early in his career, Nate was a technology entrepreneur and later began working in film. He produced the award-winning HBO Documentary Baltimore Rising with The Wire's Sonja Sohn. Nate is an executive producer of the 2022 Emmy-nominated film We Feed People from Ron Howard about WCK's rise. In 2015, he conceived and directed the documentary Undiscovered Haiti with José Andrés, a project co-produced with National Geographic and PBS. Nate has been a longtime collaborator with TED, helping to grow the TEDx program from its start in 2009, leading the TEDxSummit in Doha, and organizing conferences in places like Mogadishu, Baghdad, Tripoli, and Mount Everest. He was named a "Change Hero" by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for his work amplifying voices in underserved communities. When not working in disaster zones or traveling across Ukraine, Nate resides in Washington, DC, with his cat, Jinx Furdinand. --- This podcast is hosted by Bakhti Nishanov and produced by Alanna Novetsky, in conjunction with the Senate Recording Studio.

Gli Stati Uniti e l'Iran hanno raggiunto un accordo che prevede la cessazione immediata e permanente delle operazioni militari su tutti i fronti, incluso il Libano. La cerimonia ufficiale di firma si terrà venerdì 19 giugno a Ginevra, in Svizzera e sarà preceduta da colloqui preparatori a Doha.

Nella nuova puntata di Diva Podcast espongo la mia opinione su questo argomento, con l'intervento della mia amica Doha!

Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy.

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. SAA just made a move that should put every South African pilot on alert. The airline has applied to have pilots, cabin crew, and key operational staff declared an essential service, and if it lands, your constitutional right to strike goes with it. Because the Labour Relations Act regulates the function and not the company, a ruling in SAA's favour would not stop at SAA. It would reach across the whole industry and bind every airline whose crews do the same job. We break down whether the bid actually has legs, why the legal threshold is narrower than SAA hopes, and what it really signals about the pressure building behind the scenes. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down SAA's essential services bid and what it means for pilot strike rights, the launch of Riyadh Air, Qatar and Emirates strategy in a disrupted Middle East, a fake Air Canada captain, and the latest South African Airways aviation news. TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Intro and this week's headlines 00:38 Why we dug the 2010 Bafana shirts out of the cupboard 02:01 A quick favour before we get into it 02:36 SAA moves to declare pilots and cabin crew essential 05:01 Riyadh Air gets airborne: first 787 flights tracked live 07:03 Renewed conflict and what it means for regional airspace 08:56 Qatar, Oneworld, and the Philadelphia to Doha problem 10:13 Why Emirates is flying half-empty first class on purpose 13:31 The Air Canada captain arrested for flying without a licence 15:22 Fatal Gulfstream G200 crash in the Dominican Republic 16:54 Into the crew room: your comments this week 18:00 A Ryanair pilot of 10 years unloads on O'Leary 19:29 The real story on Ryanair crew pay and conditions 21:00 Is O'Leary a genius or a villain?

This week's Select spotlight turns to Matt Merheb, one of the most exciting names emerging from Beirut's new wave of electronic talent. As both a producer and selector, Merheb has steadily carved out a place within the region's underground circuit through refined curation and club-driven house sets that are often imbued with soulful rhythms and high-energy tech cuts. Beyond Lebanon's leading clubs, he has taken his sound to dancefloors across Madrid, Dubai, Doha, Paris, Amman, Egypt, and London's Paloma and Gallery Club. Along the way, he has shared lineups with heavyweight international acts including Mathame, Pawsa, Dennis Cruz, and Andrea Oliva, further cementing his status as a rising force within the regional electronic scene.

At the 2025 artistic gymnastics World Cup in Doha, Sam Mostowfi claimed the bronze medal on floor exercise, earning one of the most significant international results of his career.That performance helped secure his selection for Great Britain at the FISU World University Games in Germany. Competing against some of the world's best gymnasts, Mostowfi finished 14th in the all-around final and qualified for the floor exercise final. There, he lined up alongside elite international talent, including reigning Olympic champion Oka Shinnosuke and European champion Luke Whitehouse.The start of the 2026 season brought another opportunity on the international stage at the American Cup, where Mostowfi competed in the mixed team event. However, his momentum was interrupted when he suffered an injury on his favourite apparatus, tearing his plantar fascia during a floor routine.Despite this setback, Mostowfi remains part of an exceptionally strong British men's gymnastics squad, a group of athletes all striving to earn a place on Team GB for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.What sets Sam apart is not only his ability as a gymnast, but also the way he maximises every opportunity that comes his way. Whether competing on the world stage, balancing the demands of elite sport and education, or overcoming the challenges that inevitably accompany high-performance gymnastics, he continues to demonstrate resilience, ambition and determination.This is the story of a gymnast pursuing excellence, overcoming adversity, and chasing an Olympic dream.This is Sam Mostowfi's story.

(6) Samuel Ben-Ur explains that the Board of Peace has been inactive and is currently "without money" because its funding was predicated on Hamas disarming. Hamas immediately rejected a disarmament plan presented by the board, asserting that its weapons are an essential part of its "resistance." The group's political leadership remains protected in Doha, Qatar, due to U.S. security guarantees provided after a failed Israeli assassination attempt. Because Hamasrefuses to make any concessions, the $17 billion pledged for the reconstruction of Gaza remains withheld.1899 NAZARETH

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-1-2026.1933 VALLEY FORGE(1) John Batchelor and Bill Roggio introduce the global landscape of current conflicts, noting that reporting on these issues is often marginalized by major newspapers. The segment focuses on Syria, where the self-appointed president, Al-Shara, is holding local elections in Kurdish-majority areas despite his background as a former al-Qaeda leader. Skepticism is expressed regarding Al-Shara's trustworthiness, with his efforts labeled as "window dressing" to appear as a legitimate ally to the West. Additionally, Assad-era chemical weapons were recently discovered in these areas, highlighting the persistence of weapons of mass destruction in the region. Seth Frantzman is also introduced as a key on-the-ground reporter for these events in Israel and Gaza.(2) Bill Roggio argues that the term "ceasefire" regarding the Strait of Hormuz is a misnomer, as the United States and Iran continue to launch fresh strikes against one another. Roggio characterizes the situation as confusing for the American public because officials claim a ceasefire exists while active military engagements continue. Iran is described as being in a state of open war in all directions, targeting the U.S., Europe, and regional neighbors. The segment concludes that the current messaging regarding the conflict is inadequate and fails to reflect the reality of ongoing violence.(3) Jonathan Sayeh reports that the U.S. blockade has caused a sharp decline in Iranian oil exports, though it has not yet reached a level of total economic catastrophe. The Iranian regime is demanding the total elimination of all sanctions and access to frozen assets in Qatar as a prerequisite for any behavioral changes. Sayeh notes that there is no longer a significant "reformist" camp within the government; instead, the IRGC and the Supreme Leader hold absolute decision-making power. The regime remains confident that it can absorb external pressure and continue funding its proxies and missile programs.(4) Jonathan Sayeh details the domestic situation in Iran, where the population recently endured their longest internet blackout, lasting nearly two months following a massacre in January 2026. Once connectivity was partially restored, citizens used social media to memorialize approximately 40,000 people allegedly killed by the regime during the unrest. Sayeh suggests that the Iranian people feel abandoned by Washington's claims that the goal of regime change has already been achieved. Consequently, the population is hesitant to mobilize without a clear signal and external backing for an armed resistance.(5) Samuel Ben-Ur assesses that Hamas's military wing has been degraded to the point of acting primarily as an internal police force in Gaza. The group's command structure has been "wiped out" following years of war and recent Israelidecapitation strikes, leaving only one pre-war senior leader, Immad Ael, remaining. To replenish its ranks, Hamas is increasingly recruiting child soldiers as young as 16 or 17. Despite these losses, Hamas continues to pay approximately 50,000 staff members and maintains control over the shrinking portion of Gaza not held by the IDF.(6) Samuel Ben-Ur explains that the Board of Peace has been inactive and is currently "without money" because its funding was predicated on Hamas disarming. Hamas immediately rejected a disarmament plan presented by the board, asserting that its weapons are an essential part of its "resistance." The group's political leadership remains protected in Doha, Qatar, due to U.S. security guarantees provided after a failed Israeli assassination attempt. Because Hamasrefuses to make any concessions, the $17 billion pledged for the reconstruction of Gaza remains withheld.(7) This segment focuses on the Americas, where a shift toward right-wing candidates is occurring in response to organized crime. In Colombia, presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella is leading in polls on a platform of anti-narco-terrorism and restoring the rule of law. In Brazil, the U.S. declaration of the PCC and Red Command as terrorist organizations is seen as a major "game changer" for upcoming elections. Candidates who advocate for close cooperation with the U.S. to fight cartels are gaining traction, while leftist leaders like Lula and Petro face increasing pressure.(8) Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports on a "slow-motion coup" attempt in Bolivia led by Evo Morales, whose supporters have placed the capital under siege. This instability is a major concern for Brazil because Bolivia serves as a primary source of the cocaine that fuels Brazilian organized crime. Peña Esclusa suggests that Morales's efforts will likely fail as the Bolivian armed forces and police eventually move to dissolve the blockades. Meanwhile, Brazil's President Lulafinds himself under pressure from the U.S. and internal factions, limiting his ability to support Morales.(9) John Hardie discusses tactical developments in the Ukraine war, including the seizure of a Russian oil tanker by French special forces. Ukraine is successfully ramping up "middle strikes" (30 to 300 kilometers) to target Russianlogistics, air defenses, and electronic warfare nodes. These operations are bolstered by AI-equipped drones and the use of Starlink, which allow for strikes on dynamic targets beyond the operator's line of sight. On the battlefield, Ukrainianforces have recaptured territory in localized counterattacks on the border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.(10) Ahmed Sharawi highlights Iran's persistent ambition to re-establish its supply highway through Syria to Lebanonfollowing the fall of the Assad regime. Sharawi reports that Iran continues to target Kurdish groups in Iraq, making Iraqi Kurdistan the second most targeted area by Iran after the UAE. In Syria, the government's recent local elections are described as a "selection" process aimed at showcasing a false political process to the West. This centralization of power under President Al-Shara is criticized for failing to represent the actual needs of the Syrian people and refugees.(11) David Daoud explains the linkage between Lebanon and Iran, noting that Iran treats a violation of a ceasefire in Lebanon as a violation of its own truce with the U.S. Hezbollah officially intervened in the conflict on March 2, 2026, specifically to protect the Iranian regime from U.S. and Israeli pressure. Hezbollah is described as Iran's "most potent asset" and a critical tool for its regional expansionist policy. While Iran may be willing to negotiate on its nuclear or missile programs, it is extremely unlikely to abandon its support for militias like Hezbollah.(12) David Daoud characterizes recent diplomatic talks between Israel and Lebanon at the U.S. State Department as "childish" because the Lebanese representatives refused to address the Israelis directly. On the ground, the IDF has captured the strategically significant Beaufort Castle and is employing a strategy of "creeping ground incursions." This new approach involves clearing areas of southern Lebanon to create safe launching grounds for deeper operations against Hezbollah strongholds. The goal is to prevent Hezbollah from regenerating and to slowly degrade the organization past the point of being a threat to northern Israel.(13) Peter Berkowitz examines two distinct intellectual critiques of the United States as it approaches its 250th anniversary: the postmodern progressives and the post-liberal right. The progressives argue that America is mired in systemic oppression and that its founding principles are the actual cause of its problems. The post-liberal right, conversely, views the nation as decadent and corrupt because it fails to recognize a higher religious authority. Both groups advocate for fundamental changes, with the right-wing critique specifically calling for the government to take a more active role in leading citizens toward virtue and salvation.(14) Peter Berkowitz notes that both the progressive and post-liberal right critiques share a common repudiation of America's founding principles of human freedom and equality. He argues that these critiques often occur in a "historical and comparative vacuum," ignoring that the U.S. remains a premier destination for those seeking personal liberty. Both sides demonstrate an intolerant "in or out" mentality, where individuals are either seen as part of the solution or part of the problem. Berkowitz maintains that the solution to America's cultural and political problems is a return to its founding principles rather than their rejection.(15) Peter Huessy discusses the confirmation by the U.S. government that China conducted recent underground nuclear tests. Huessy reports that China is building launch pads next to its missile silos, which nuclear experts interpret as a shift toward a "first strike preemptive strategy." This strategy is designed to use a nuclear umbrella to coerce the U.S. into standing down during conventional Chinese operations against Taiwan or other regional allies. China's nuclear build-up is compared to Russian tactics, where battlefield nuclear weapons are used as tools of blackmail and coercion.(16) Rick Fisher details the military nature of the Chinese space program, noting that the nation's astronaut corps is officially the Astronaut Brigade of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Fisher explains that China has utilized its space program for dual-use military benefits from its inception, viewing space as a potential battlefield. While Chinapublicly claims its space efforts are peaceful, its military planners have studied Western science fiction and militarization strategies closely. The segment warns that the U.S. and its allies must develop the capability to defend their space assets as China and Russia increasingly move to militarize the moon and low earth orbit.Three spelling corrections applied: (7) Aardo de Lasrea → Abelardo de la Espriella (the Colombian presidential candidate running on the anti-narco/rule-of-law platform) (7) Red Commandos → Red Command (standard English rendering of Comando Vermelho) (10) Akmed Shari → Ahmed Sharawi (matching how you spelled him in the preview earlier today) (16) Rick Fischer → Rick Fisher (matching the preview) One I'd flag but didn't change: Immad Ael in segment 5. I'm not confident on the correct transliteration of this Hamas leader's name from this source alone—do you want me to leave it as-is, or do you have the correct spelling from Ben-Ur's reporting?

Today we're talking about one very important milestone in rehabilitation after an ACL reconstruction: return to running. It's a milestone that sometimes gets overshadowed by its more flamboyant sibling, return to sport. Brendan Butler joins JOSPT Insights to explore best practice in return to running. Brendan an Irish sports physiotherapist, who is currently working at the Aspetar Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Hospital in Doha, Qatar. He's a member of the Aspetar ACL team, where he applies skills honed in Gaelic football, rugby, soccer and athletics. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Simple clinical measures that quantify knee loading symmetry during running: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41110241/ Clinician choices for return to running criteria: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptopen.2026.0195 Lower medial hamstring activity during running: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33782638/

Lucien (recording from Riyadh, mid-apartment move) and Hanna (in London, riding out an unlikely heat wave) open Episode 70 (!) catching up with each other. Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

The post-WW2 world order is dead. The UN doesn't work. The WTO can't function. Multilateralism has collapsed.

US-Präsident Donald Trump sagt, der Deal mit Iran sei so gut wie fertig. Teheran bremst und stellt fest, dass über das wichtigste Thema, das Atomprogramm, gar nicht gesprochen werde. Marco Rubio, der US-Außenminister, verspricht am Morgen gute Nachrichten in wenigen Stunden – und erklärt am Nachmittag, dass alles dann doch länger dauern werde. Dazwischen fliegen amerikanische Raketen auf iranische Stellungen in der Straße von Hormus, während eine iranische Delegation nach Doha reist, um über genau diesen Frieden zu verhandeln. Im Stundentakt widersprechen sich die Akteure im Irankrieg. Der Ölpreis steht zeitweise bei 105 Dollar, die US-Inflation bei knapp vier Prozent, und im Sommer könnte der Flugzeugtreibstoff knapp werden. Ist das nur Trumps Chaos – oder was steckt dahinter?

For review:1.  The Pentagon has spent months positioning the troops and weapons needed for the U.S. to launch a military attack on Cuba — all it needs is a final go-ahead from the President.2. The US military carried out new strikes overnight Wednesday-Thursday in Iran, targeting a military site that officials believed posed a threat to US forces and commercial maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a US official tells Reuters. US forces attacked missile sites in southern Iran and boats trying to lay mines on Monday, US Central Command said, as top Iranian negotiators arrived in Doha for talks to end the war. 3. US President Donald Trump indicated during a Wednesday cabinet meeting that progress in talks with Iran on a deal to end the war had slowed, departing from his assertion at the start of the week that an agreement was nearly finalized. 4. Hamas on Wednesday confirmed the death of Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head of the terror group's military wing, who Israel killed in a strike in Gaza City.  5. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that Israel is “intensifying operations” in Lebanon by taking strategic positions and reinforcing the security buffer zone as the IDF pushed past the lines it held as it seeks to counter the recent surge in drone attacks by Hezbollah. 6. Ukraine is urging the EU to help negotiate an end to the war with Russia, a topic that will be discussed in detail at an informal meeting of European foreign ministers in Cyprus. Ukraine's foreign minister has told the BBC that Kyiv is keen to introduce some "new dynamics" into the negotiation process. 7.  The U.S. intends to significantly reduce military contributions available to assist European allies in a crisis, including fighter jets, warships and mid-air refueling aircraft, German news outlet Spiegel reported. 8. North Korea test fired a newly-developed lightweight multi-purpose missile launching system and multiple tactical cruise missile weapons systems on Tuesday, state media Korean Central News Agency reported. North Korea's state media did not disclose the exact nature of the special mission warhead, but imagery released shows the tactical ballistic missile being the Hwasong 11-D tactical ballistic missiles capable of carrying conventional explosive, fragmentation, submunition, chemical or nuclear warheads.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on the morning after Thomas Massie's primary loss with APAC already out celebrating publicly, naming Massie and MTG as the two "detractors" they replaced with pro-Israel voices. The guys break down what Trump's 37 and 0 endorsement record actually means in a fraudulent election system: not that Trump picks winners, but that endorsements are narrative disruption tools in a scripted storytelling war. John Podhoretz drops a stunning clip openly declaring that Jewish money will be deployed against antisemitic candidates as a matter of communal survival, and Chris Paul walks through why what he described, said by any other ethnic group, would end careers instantly. Trump's "He'll do whatever I want" Netanyahu quote drops alongside news of a tense call over a Qatar and Pakistan drafted Iran peace memo. Chris Paul reframes the Taliban, Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas as potentially legitimate people's governance authorities rather than terrorist groups, connecting it to Syria, Venezuela, and the Doha agreement pattern. Spencer Pratt's viral LA mayoral AI ads get a full breakdown. The show closes on Trump's DOJ anti-weaponization fund, a $1.776 billion settlement where the DOJ officially acknowledges the "unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago."

Ha pasado ya más de un mes desde que Irán y Estados Unidos acordasen, por mediación pakistaní, un alto el fuego que en principio iba a durar quince días y que posteriormente se prorrogó de forma indefinida. Las negociaciones apenas avanzan y la tregua ya casi iguala en duración a los cuarenta días de bombardeos que la precedieron. Trump ha descrito la situación con una metáfora un tanto inquietante, ha dicho que esta tregua es como un paciente conectado a un respirador con un 1% de posibilidades de sobrevivir. La campaña conjunta de Estados Unidos e Israel fue un éxito táctico indiscutible. Destruyeron bases de misiles, fábricas de cohetes, defensas antiaéreas e instalaciones nucleares, eliminaron también al líder supremo junto con toda la cúpula del régimen. Netanyahu habló de romper la barrera del miedo, aunque reconoció que la tarea estaba lejos de rematarse. La barrera parece que se ha roto, pero romperla no equivale a vencer. La contrapropuesta iraní entregada este fin de semana la han desechado ya en Washington. Los iraníes exigen el levantamiento total de sanciones, rechazan desmantelar sus instalaciones nucleares, quieren conservar sus reservas de uranio enriquecido y pretenden vincular el acuerdo a un alto el fuego en el Líbano. La oferta es tan ambiciosa porque el régimen está convencido de que Trump quiere salir del embrollo cuanto antes. Esto es algo que el propio Trump ha admitido. Ahí tenemos su intención de eliminar temporalmente el impuesto federal sobre la gasolina, una demostración de que está sufriendo muchas presiones internas. El centro de gravedad del conflicto está en el doble bloqueo. Estados Unidos asfixia los puertos iraníes mientras Irán mantiene cerrado el estrecho de Ormuz. La operación de escolta naval, bautizada como Project Freedom, parece calcada de otra que Ronald Reagan puso en marcha en los años 80, pero hoy EEUU tiene menos efectivos en el golfo y el enemigo dispone hoy de drones, misiles antibuque y minas que han hecho del tránsito por Ormuz un riesgo que ningún naviero quiere correr. La escala máxima de presión militar ya se ha empleado sin éxito. A Trump le queda volver a bombardear, esperar o firmar un acuerdo de mínimos que sus enemigos presentarán sin duda como una humillante capitulación. Ninguno de los objetivos estratégicos iniciales se ha cumplido. Ni han renunciado al programa nuclear, ni al desmantelamiento de su arsenal balístico, ni han abandonado a su suerte a Hezbolá y a los hutíes. Los aliados están perdiendo la paciencia y la confianza en EEUU. Los Emiratos han recibido casi tres mil ataques, incluso durante el alto el fuego, estos últimos la Casa Blanca los ha calificado como menores. En Abu Dabi, Riad y Doha están empezando a acordarse de Hosni Mubarak, que fue aliado de EEUU hasta que decidieron prescindir de él. La misma duda asalta a los europeos y los japoneses. Trump viaja esta semana a China buscando que Xi Jinping presione a los ayatolás, pero ese favor tendrá seguramente un precio muy elevado. Se perfilan tres escenarios. El primero un acuerdo cosmético que Trump venda como victoria, el segundo una reanudación de los bombardeos con imprevisibles consecuencias, y el tercero la prolongación indefinida del limbo en el que nos encontramos ahora mismo. Esta es la opción que más conviene a Irán ya que piensan en el largo plazo. Lo que se dirime no es solo la voluntad de Trump ni la resistencia del régimen, sino la credibilidad de EEUU como aliado, algo que durante 80 años fue la divisa más sólida del sistema internacional.

Le secteur du transport aérien est frappé violemment par la crise énergétique provoquée par le blocage du détroit d'Ormuz et plus largement par la guerre au Moyen-Orient. Comme pour les automobiles avec l'essence, le cours du kérosène flambe,  avec des répercussions potentiellement désastreuses sur les compagnies. À l'image de Spirit Airlines, société américaine de transport low cost, qui a été déclarée en faillite en début de semaine. Cette guerre met à mal aussi ces gigantesques aéroports, les hubs de Dubai, Abu Dhabi ou Doha. En revanche, ce conflit accélère aussi la recherche d'alternatives de routes, de carburants plus propres.   Pour en débattre : - Jérôme Du Boucher, directeur adjoint aviation à l'ONG transport & environnement - Gérard Fetzer, président d'Aviation sans frontières, spécialiste en aéronautique et en transports - Matteo Mirolo, spécialiste des politiques énergétiques pour l'aviation au cabinet Mundus Volans Consulting.

From indie narratives to deeply personal documentaries, filmmaker Mye Hoang has built a career around stories about identity, community, and unexpected connections. On this episode of *The Projection Booth*, Mike sits down with Hoang to trace her creative journey—from her early work to her breakout documentary Cat Daddies—before diving into her latest film, 25 Cats from Qatar.The new documentary follows an extraordinary rescue effort as a network of volunteers races to save stray cats living on the streets of Doha, where the feline population has spiraled into crisis. What begins as an uplifting animal rescue story quickly reveals larger issues involving migration, class, labor, and global responsibility. Hoang discusses balancing advocacy with storytelling, capturing high-stakes rescue missions on camera, and why the film resonates far beyond cat lovers.The conversation also highlights the film's screening at the Arab American Film Festival at Cinema Detroit, where audiences can catch the film and a post-screening discussion with Hoang and subject Katy McHugh. It'll be sure to be lively conversation about documentary filmmaking, compassion, and the surprising ways a film about 25 cats can say a lot about the world we live in.  Find out more at https://www.25catsfromqatar.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

"A humanitarian gesture." That's how Donald Trump has described a plan to get stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. Details around how the US-led efforts would operate are scarce, but the President has warned that any Iranian intervention would "be dealt with forcefully." Iran said any American action in the Strait would breach the current ceasefire. Meanwhile, Iran has put forward a new peace proposal to bring an end to the war. Middle East correspondent in Doha, Lou Browne spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Jinwoo Park about his novel, Oxford Soju Club (Dundurn Press, 2025).  A SHELF AWARENESS BEST BOOK OF 2025 • A CBC BOOKS BEST CANADIAN FICTION BOOK OF 2025 • A CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF 2025  The natural enemy of a Korean is another Korean. When North Korean spymaster Doha Kim is mysteriously killed in Oxford, his protégé, Yohan Kim, chases the only breadcrumb given to him in Doha's last breath: “Soju Club, Dr. Ryu.” In the meantime, a Korean American CIA agent , Yunah Choi, races to salvage her investigation of the North Korean spy cell in the aftermath of the assassination. At the centre of it all is the Soju Club, the only Korean restaurant in Oxford, owned by Jihoon Lim, an immigrant from Seoul in search of a new life after suffering a tragedy. As different factions move in with their own agendas, their fates become entangled, resulting in a bitter struggle that will determine whose truth will triumph. Oxford Soju Club weaves a tale of how immigrants in the Korean diaspora are forced to create identities to survive, and how in the end, they must shed those masks and seek their true selves. Jinwoo Park is a Korean Canadian writer based in Montreal. He completed a master's degree in creative writing at the University of Oxford, and currently works as a marketer in the tech industry. In 2021, he won the Jim Wong-Chu Emerging Writers Award. Oxford Soju Club is his first novel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Yasmina Asrarguis est une ancienne diplomate et doctorante spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, autrice de "Le mirage de la paix". C'est également une personne que je connais depuis un moment et je suis son travail de près.Son livre est construit sur des archives diplomatiques inédites, des conversations téléphoniques entre présidents, et des années d'enquête sur les coulisses de ce conflit que tout le monde commente et que presque personne ne comprend vraiment.Il est rare que je reçoive quelqu'un qui cumule à la fois l'expérience du terrain diplomatique, la rigueur académique et la capacité à tout remettre dans un récit qui tient. Avec Yasmina, on s'est connus avant qu'elle sorte ce bouquin, et je savais que cette conversation allait être différente. Elle est jeune, femme, maghrébine, et elle parle d'un sujet que la diplomatie a toujours réservé aux hommes d'un certain âge. C'est déjà en soi quelque chose.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons des deux grandes forces qui rendent la paix impossible aujourd'hui : les idéologues messianiques (des deux côtés) et les acteurs opportunistes qui font de la géopolitique comme on fait des affaires. J'ai questionné Yasmina sur pourquoi le 7 octobre était en réalité une réponse à un accord de paix qui était sur le point d'être signé, sur ce que Kissinger avait vraiment compris que personne n'a retenu, sur l'enrichissement personnel de Trump comme boussole de sa politique étrangère, et sur ce qui, malgré tout, lui donne envie du futur dans cette région.Citations marquantes"Tant qu'on aura des idéologues d'une part, et des acteurs fortement opportunistes qui ont le pouvoir dans certaines capitales, il sera extrêmement compliqué de voir advenir une paix civilisationnelle.""Le 7 octobre, c'est véritablement le conseil du Hamas qui se réunit pour une réunion d'urgence et qui dit : il nous faut agir extrêmement vite pour empêcher la reconnaissance.""Le business peut générer de la dépendance. Mais pas de la confiance. Ce ne sont pas les mêmes acteurs.""On est passé d'une Amérique où il y avait cette idée de rêve américain. Aujourd'hui, c'est juste le rêve de Trump.""Ce que l'on voit à savoir la guerre, le sang, la revanche — ce n'est pas le lot commun du Moyen-Orient. C'est aussi une région de beauté infinie, d'une jeunesse pleine de rêves."Grandes idées discutées1. Idéologues vs opportunistes : le cocktail qui rend la paix impossible (~0:05:35 – 0:09:44) D'un côté les messianismes (évangélique américain, religieux israélien, islamiste arabe). De l'autre, une "business diplomacy" trumpiste qui traite la région comme un marché. Ces deux logiques s'excluent mutuellement — et aucune ne pense aux populations. Tant que ce duo est aux commandes, la paix n'est pas un horizon réel.2. La paix par la prospérité, puis la paix par la force — deux échecs annoncés (~0:09:57 – 0:13:00) Trump a d'abord testé la "paix par la prospérité" (accords d'Abraham). Après le 7 octobre, il est passé à la "paix par la force" (guerres en Iran). Aucune des deux n'intègre les populations civiles. C'est une géopolitique de businessmen qui ignorent que la paix se construit avec les gens, pas autour d'eux.3. Le 7 octobre comme réponse directe à la normalisation saoudienne (~1:04:00 – 1:07:38) Ce que j'ignorais et que Yasmina documente dans son livre : le Hamas a lancé les attaques du 7 octobre en réaction directe à la normalisation imminente entre Israël et l'Arabie Saoudite. MBS était apparu sur Fox News pour dire que la reconnaissance était prochaine. Le Hamas ne pouvait pas atteindre les dirigeants, alors il a frappé la population civile pour créer une surréaction qui rendrait la normalisation impossible. Deux ans après, ça a marché.4. Trump, l'enrichissement personnel comme boussole géopolitique (~0:48:15 – 0:55:54) Ce n'est pas une thèse complotiste — c'est documenté. Avant chaque déplacement dans la région, c'est le fils de Trump qui signe les contrats. Des achats de drones et d'hydrocarbures dans le premier cercle présidentiel quelques jours avant la guerre en Iran. Un avion présidentiel offert par le Qatar. Une rivière à 40 km de Doha. Yasmina le dit avec des chiffres, pas des opinions.5. La confiance ne se bâtit pas avec des contrats, mais avec de l'éducation et de la culture (~1:09:09 – 1:13:35) L'exemple franco-allemand est là : personne en 1945 n'aurait parié sur cette réconciliation. Ce qui a marché, ce n'est pas le business. C'est Erasmus, l'apprentissage des langues, la codépendance culturelle. C'est ça que le Moyen-Orient n'a pas encore eu le droit d'expérimenter.6. Hamas et gouvernance par la peur — le paradoxe des sondages (~0:56:41 – 1:01:02) Un chiffre contre-intuitif : l'adhésion au Hamas est plus forte dans les territoires gouvernés par l'Autorité palestinienne que dans ceux gouvernés par le Hamas lui-même. Les populations qui vivent sous le régime connaissent la réalité. Celles qui n'y sont pas ont encore le fantasme. Même mécanique qu'en Iran.7. La jeunesse comme seule vraie variable d'espoir (~1:17:49 – 1:21:48) Pas le business. Pas les PDG. La jeunesse — diplomates de 30 ans, entrepreneurs locaux, femmes qui prennent la parole. Une région qui est aussi de beauté et de rêves, pas seulement de destruction. C'est la seule chose qui donne envie du futur à Yasmina. Et après cette conversation, à moi aussi.Questions posées dans l'interviewC'est quoi, selon toi, les dynamiques dans le Moyen-Orient que la majorité des gens ne comprennent pas ?Quand ils parlent de paix, dans aucun des cas ils envisagent les humains qui sont sur place — tu confirmes ?Est-ce que le gouvernement Netanyahou est symétrique à l'Iran dans sa logique messianique ?Y a-t-il vraiment une scission profonde dans la société israélienne, ou c'est du bruit médiatique ?Pourquoi un certain nombre de personnes de confession juive ne sont pas nécessairement sionistes ?Est-ce juste de dire que l'État d'Israël est né de l'antisémitisme européen ?Quel a été le rôle de la guerre froide dans la région, et comment Kissinger a tout changé ?Comment le Hamas a réussi à prendre autant de pouvoir en Palestine ?Y a-t-il une volonté réelle d'une solution à deux États, côté Netanyahou, côté Hamas, côté Hezbollah ?Qu'est-ce qui te donne envie du futur dans cette région, malgré tout ce qu'on vient de dire ?Références citéesLivresLe mirage de la paix — Yasmina Asraragiz (son propre livre, fil rouge de l'entretien)Accords et documents historiquesDéclaration Balfour (document britannique autorisant la création d'un État israélien) — ~0:31:46Accords d'Oslo (Israël / Autorité palestinienne, Rabin / Arafat) — ~1:02:49Accords de Camp David (Israël / Égypte, Sadat / Begin) — ~1:03:30Accords d'Abraham (normalisation entre Israël et pays arabes) — ~0:10:30Personnalités historiquesThéodore Herzl (fondateur du sionisme) — ~0:28:09Henry Kissinger (diplomatie navette, guerre de Yom Kippour) — ~0:37:27 et ~0:39:52Anwar Sadat (assassiné après Camp David) — ~1:03:36Yitzhak Rabin (assassiné après Oslo) — ~1:02:49Golda Meir — ~0:40:19Ben Gurion — ~0:29:00Personnalités contemporainesCharlie Kirk (messianisme évangélique US) — ~0:05:35Donald Trump et Jared Kushner — ~0:46:00 / ~0:48:15Steve Witkoff (envoyé spécial US au Moyen-Orient) — ~0:07:00Mohamed Ben Salman (MBS) — ~1:04:30Itamar Ben Gvir et Bezalel Smotrich (extrême droite israélienne) — ~0:26:00Netanyahou — multiple occurrencesReza Pahlavi (cité comme potentiel successeur du régime iranien) — ~0:13:00ÉvénementsGuerre de Yom Kippour (1973) — ~0:38:00Guerre des Six Jours — ~0:39:52Guerre civile libanaise / guerres israélo-libanaises — ~0:19:507 octobre 2023 — ~1:04:00Embargo pétrolier arabe de 1973 — ~0:38:30Crise du canal de Suez — ~0:43:10Afghanistan / Al-Qaïda / talibans (financement CIA) — ~0:43:29InstitutionsONU / Conseil de sécurité — ~0:14:07FINUL (force de l'ONU au Liban) — ~0:20:30Congrès américain — ~1:05:00Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 — Introduction Gregory présente le podcast et pose la question fondatrice : peut-on encore se réjouir du futur ?00:34 — Qui est Yasmina ?

Et après cette conversation, à moi aussi.Questions posées dans l'interviewC'est quoi, selon toi, les dynamiques dans le Moyen-Orient que la majorité des gens ne comprennent pas ?Quand ils parlent de paix, dans aucun des cas ils envisagent les humains qui sont sur place — tu confirmes ?Est-ce que le gouvernement Netanyahou est symétrique à l'Iran dans sa logique messianique ?Y a-t-il vraiment une scission profonde dans la société israélienne, ou c'est du bruit médiatique ?Pourquoi un certain nombre de personnes de confession juive ne sont pas nécessairement sionistes ?Est-ce juste de dire que l'État d'Israël est né de l'antisémitisme européen ?Quel a été le rôle de la guerre froide dans la région, et comment Kissinger a tout changé ?Comment le Hamas a réussi à prendre autant de pouvoir en Palestine ?Y a-t-il une volonté réelle d'une solution à deux États, côté Netanyahou, côté Hamas, côté Hezbollah ?Qu'est-ce qui te donne envie du futur dans cette région, malgré tout ce qu'on vient de dire ?Références citéesLivresLe mirage de la paix — Yasmina Asraragiz (son propre livre, fil rouge de l'entretien)Accords et documents historiquesDéclaration Balfour (document britannique autorisant la création d'un État israélien) — ~0:31:46Accords d'Oslo (Israël / Autorité palestinienne, Rabin / Arafat) — ~1:02:49Accords de Camp David (Israël / Égypte, Sadat / Begin) — ~1:03:30Accords d'Abraham (normalisation entre Israël et pays arabes) — ~0:10:30Personnalités historiquesThéodore Herzl (fondateur du sionisme) — ~0:28:09Henry Kissinger (diplomatie navette, guerre de Yom Kippour) — ~0:37:27 et ~0:39:52Anwar Sadat (assassiné après Camp David) — ~1:03:36Yitzhak Rabin (assassiné après Oslo) — ~1:02:49Golda Meir — ~0:40:19Ben Gurion — ~0:29:00Personnalités contemporainesCharlie Kirk (messianisme évangélique US) — ~0:05:35Donald Trump et Jared Kushner — ~0:46:00 / ~0:48:15Steve Witkoff (envoyé spécial US au Moyen-Orient) — ~0:07:00Mohamed Ben Salman (MBS) — ~1:04:30Itamar Ben Gvir et Bezalel Smotrich (extrême droite israélienne) — ~0:26:00Netanyahou — multiple occurrencesReza Pahlavi (cité comme potentiel successeur du régime iranien) — ~0:13:00ÉvénementsGuerre de Yom Kippour (1973) — ~0:38:00Guerre des Six Jours — ~0:39:52Guerre civile libanaise / guerres israélo-libanaises — ~0:19:507 octobre 2023 — ~1:04:00Embargo pétrolier arabe de 1973 — ~0:38:30Crise du canal de Suez — ~0:43:10Afghanistan / Al-Qaïda / talibans (financement CIA) — ~0:43:29InstitutionsONU / Conseil de sécurité — ~0:14:07FINUL (force de l'ONU au Liban) — ~0:20:30Congrès américain — ~1:05:00Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 — Introduction Gregory présente le podcast et pose la question fondatrice : peut-on encore se réjouir du futur ?00:34 — Qui est Yasmina ?

Subscribe at angryplanetpod.com to hear episodes first and commercial free.Last week an article published in Al Jazeera by an academic at the University of Doha in Qatar proposed something that felt crazy to some western war watchers: America and Israel's strategy in Iran is working.On this episode of Angry Planet, author Muhanad Seloom is here to explain his position. Seloom is an assistant professor of international politics and security at the University of Doha. He's also an Iraqi who lived through the Iran-Iraq war and both US invasions. From his perspective, the US has degraded Iran's ability to hurt its neighbors in the long term and changed the regime.What comes next is a more complicated question.Why did this war even start?Setting aside morality and legality to look at ground truths“Iran is much weaker”Missile production, missile rangeThe highly enriched uranium is in one place“The regime has changed. Whether we like it or not, the regime has changed.”The case against the new KhameneiWhat is it like to live nextdoor to Iran?There's a reason no one is standing up for IranWhy isn't the GCC doing more?What happens if we pick up and leave?What's the plan for what happens next?“It's not easy to rise up.”Charging tolls on Hormuz“I have to say this: I am against the war in any way.”What about the JCPOA?A great unanswered question of historyAir campaigns don't win wars…did America really lose in Afghanistan and Iraq?“War is hell.”Labelling Ethno-Political Groups as TerroristsThe US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working.

It is day three of the U.S. Israeli war with Iran as the fighting widens with Tehran launching retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, and Israel trading fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon.President Trump says the strikes will continue “at full force” and warns Americans there will likely be more U.S. casualties, as the White House still hasn't spelled out the war's objectives or how long it could last.And Iran's retaliation is hitting America's Gulf partners hard, with missiles and drones turning places like Doha, Bahrain and Dubai into battle zones.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by James Hider, Tina Kraya, Anna Yukhananov, Miguel Macias, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.
