Trump and Kushner chose a war they don't understand, thinking they can use 20th-century "shock and awe" to topple a deeply entrenched terrorist state. The Iranian people are caught between two maniacal regimes and deserve our solidarity: an estimated 30,000 Iranians were just killed by their own government, and now they're being bombed by a Fox News host. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman joins Gaslit Nation to discuss the surreal hallucinating AI simulation we've found ourselves in. Meanwhile, Trump and Vance need to thank Zelensky and Ukraine for their innovative drone-fighting technology–some of the best in the world. Has Vance even said thank you yet? We also prepare Americans for the reality that the "moats" of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans no longer protect us. As drone technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, the same over-the-counter drones terrorizing Kherson, Ukraine are coming for American streets–thanks to Trump galvanizing terrorists, and opportunistic mafia states like Russia that empower groups like ISIS. Like Russia, Trump thinks he can conquer a nation in three days. Join us on April 13th at Powerhouse Books in Dumbo, Brooklyn for the launch of Andrea's graphic novel, Mrs. Orwell. Olga Lautman will be there as we discuss how to survive the "Great Disillusionment" and protect our democracy from the opportunists selling us out for profit.

President Trump says the fighting will be "wrapped up soon," even as the repercussions of it grow and strikes by Iran continue. One of the world's biggest gas fields in the United Arab Emirates was hit today, and Iranian drones also hit an oil tank farm near the Dubai airport this morning. When the president was asked whether he was surprised he wasn't briefed that Iran could strike neighboring countries, he told reporters, “No, the greatest experts, nobody thought they were going to hit.” Plus, Anderson speaks to a friend and mentor of U.S. Air Force Captain Ariana Savino, one of the six crew members killed when their refueling plane went down in Iraq.

Today's Headlines: Four weeks in, the Iran war is getting more expensive, more chaotic, and more geopolitically cursed by the day. The US has lost 13 service members and spent $12 billion — and according to U.S. intelligence, Iran's regime is not only still standing but consolidating power and getting more hardline. Iran struck Dubai's international airport and the UAE's biggest oil terminal over the weekend, gas hit $4.99 a gallon, and the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to American and Israeli ships — while Iran pockets an estimated $140 million a day selling oil at inflated prices to everyone else. And of course, two of the US Navy's three minesweeper ships were docked in Malaysia this weekend, and the third is MIA. Israel meanwhile launched a new ground invasion into southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, with its military preparing for at least three more weeks of operations. Trump postponed his China summit, complained that China should be "thanking" the US for the war we started, and alternated between bragging we don't need any of our friends but also demanding our friends send warships. Jared Kushner was also in the region — not for diplomacy, but reportedly fundraising $5 billion for his investment firm from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. On the Epstein beat: Bank of America settled a lawsuit from a woman who alleged the bank maintained ties to Epstein and failed to flag suspicious activity. The House Oversight Committee is calling the prison guard who was on duty the night Epstein died to testify on March 26th — records show she was asleep and googling Epstein news shortly before his body was found. Harvard students and faculty filed a formal proposal to remove Les Wexner's name from campus buildings. And a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked RFK Jr.'s childhood vaccine schedule overhaul and froze his newly appointed CDC advisory committee members — a rare, clean win.

Starting the third week of the war in the Middle East, Morgan Stanley's chief of U.S. equity strategy Mike Wilson discusses the energy and broader markets and considers the likelihood of a recession in the short term. On the ground in Dubai, CNBC's Dan Murphy reports on Iran's strikes on the UAE's critical energy infrastructure and transportation hub. The Strait of Hormuz is pivotal to the conflict; President Trump is reportedly planning a coalition of naval escorts through the channel key for the world's energy supply. Michelle Caruso-Cabrera offers her perspective on the oil markets, investor sentiment, and geopolitics. Plus, the U.S. and China are holding trade talks in Paris, and a federal judge has blocked subpoenas to the Federal Reserve in the criminal investigation of Jerome Powell.

After President Trump said Iran seemed ready to make a deal to end the war but the terms weren't good enough, Tehran has been carrying out further missile and drone strikes on US allies across the Middle East. The Iranian foreign minister has denied that Iran has targeted civilian or residential areas in the Middle East - only US military targets. And he said the war would end when Iran was "certain" it could not be repeated. We hear from our Persian service correspondent about what she makes of these claims, and what people inside Iran are worrying about. Also: Iran warns the United Arab Emirates to begin evacuating the port zones in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah. So are people heeding these warnings? We hear from our correspondent in Dubai. Tehran continues to fire missiles towards Israel, most of which were intercepted by air defences. But at least one got through, as we hear from our correspondent in Tel Aviv. And how the war is impacting the oil industry and pushing up prices - we hear how increased use of wind and solar energy could give consumers more predictability in terms of cost.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait all reported attacks overnight, with air defences working to intercept them, though the frequency is much less than in the early days of the conflict. Earlier the Iranians urged the UAE to evacuate the port zones of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah. We hear about Iran's strategy. Also in the programme: Pakistan accuses the Afghan Taliban of crossing a red line by launching drones into its airspace; and how an Oscar-nominee picked a fight with the worlds of ballet and opera. (Photo: Smoke rises in the Fujairah oil industry zone, caused by debris after interception of a drone by air defences, according to the Fujairah media office, during the US/Israel conflict with Iran.

Tim discusses what a disaster the Iran war is, Donald Trump endorsing Jake Paul for political office, influencers who are trapped in Dubai, explosives thrown near Zohran Mamdani's home, and how Clavicular is the final stage of humanity before the end of the world. Live Dates:
The United States and Israel have now been at war with Iran for two weeks, since 28th February. In that time, there have been over 1200 civilian deaths in Iran, including 168, most of them children, at a girls' school in Minab, central Iran. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who had ruled Iran for over forty years, was killed on the first day of the war. There have been wider casualties throughout the region. Iran has fired missiles at neighbouring countries, including Dubai, Kuwait, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Israel. For journalists at BBC Persian, reporting on the war from outside of the country has been incredibly difficult. The internet has been shut down on the 90 million people living inside Iran, making it difficult for people to get information on what is happening round them and which locations are being hit by bombing. It is also extremely difficult for Iranians outside the country to contact those inside. BBC Persian's Ghoncheh Habibiazad and Taraneh Fathalian; and BBC Monitoring's Sarbas Nazari, discuss what is known about the situation within Iran. This edition was recorded on 12th March 2026. The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.

It's Opinions Matter Extra: the Uncut Version — Episode 55 — where Adrian and Jeremy ditch the usual format and spend 10–15 minutes “shooting the breeze” completely unedited.This one goes everywhere: shout-outs (and a row over how to pronounce “Emma… Lee”), tapas menus, dessert obsessions and the dreaded pre-marriage course.Then it gets properly manky as a home microscope reveals the horrifying “filth” living in your bedsheets — and somehow that turns into tog arguments, prostate confessions and dirty hands!!!Plus: do racehorses have a “real” name when they retire, and would you actually holiday in Dubai right now with everything going on?

Welcome back to the bunker for the second half of our massive deep dive into the accelerating collapse of the Russian Federation. In Part 1, we covered the economic “Zone of Death.” Today, we put on our hazmat suits and wade directly into the parasite that is killing the host: the Russian Ministry of Defense.We start with the absolute humiliation in Bryansk, where Ukrainian drones casually filmed British Storm Shadow missiles obliterating Russia's premier air defense factory, “Kremniy El.” We expose the terrifying incompetence of the Kremlin's new “secure” state messenger, which is actively leaking unencrypted military data straight to servers in London.But the real horror is on the front lines. The architects of this war, like Vladislav Surkov, are fleeing to Dubai, while the infantry is left to rot in the “Zone of Absolute Death.” We break down how Ukraine has completely conquered the “small sky” using fiber-optic drones, leaving the Russian army completely blind, dying of thirst, and getting extorted by their own rear-guard mechanics. It's the ultimate “1916 mood”—the moment the disposable serfs in the trenches realize the Tsar has driven the empire off a cliff.SUPPORT INDEPENDENT GONZO JOURNALISM: This show runs on dark humor and your support, not state-sponsored whitelists or Kremlin grants.Keep the boiler running: patreon.com/theeasternborderLook stylish during the apocalypse (Merch): https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Make a tangible difference: The boys in the trenches need mobility to survive the drones and the artillery.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and China are rising ahead of a high-stakes summit in Beijing now less than three weeks away. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer discusses the administration's new trade investigations, the state of relations with China, the impact of the Iran war, and President Trump's tariff agenda. Then, with TSA workers set to miss their first paycheck of the shutdown, former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson explains what the Senate's funding fight could mean for airport staffing and air travel.

//The Wire//2300Z March 13, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACKS CONTINUE IN THE AMERICAN HOMELAND. WAR CONTINUES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN IRAQ, NO SURVIVORS REPORTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Persian Gulf: Last night CENTCOM reported the loss of one KC-135 Stratotanker, which crashed in western Iraq. Rescue operations were conducted immediately, however all six crew members have been confirmed deceased. The incident occurred as a result of a mid-air collision, which involved another KC-135 aircraft that was also damaged.Strait of Hormuz: This morning another commercial vessel was struck while attempting to transit the Strait, which resulted in catastrophic damage to the vessel. The crew abandoned ship, and several crew members remain missing.Turkey: Another ballistic missile was intercepted overnight, as Iranian forces continue to target Incirlik Airbase. This is the third such interception since the war began.UAE: Overnight drone attacks continued to strike Dubai, with the International Financial Center being struck by a Shahed drone yesterday evening.Analyst Comment: Today was also the third day in a row that the UAE has changed their reporting criteria. Social media reports no longer list the total number of drones that impact within their country, with the daily rollup reports instead stating the number of drones and missiles that were "dealt with". Due to the video confirmation of drones impacting within Dubai overnight, these reports are now openly misleading, as the number of successful Iranian strikes remains unreported.-HomeFront-Michigan: Yesterday afternoon a vehicle ramming and small arms attack was reported at Temple Israel, one of the largest synagogues in Michigan. The attack began as a vehicle ramming attack targeting the main entrance to the facility. After the suspect breached the entrance, he exited the vehicle and was engaged by security personnel on site, who neutralized the attacker. Initial reports claim that the suspect also had explosives inside his vehicle, however authorities have not confirmed this yet as the vehicle caught fire during the incident and burned down a substantial portion of the structure, including the suspect. No one but the attacker was killed during the attack.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized US Citizen originally from Lebanon. Some sources claim that he conducted the attack due to to his family being killed in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in Beirut yesterday, however these claims cannot be independently verified at this time. Either way, the suspect attacked the 12,000-member synagogue on a Thursday afternoon when almost no one was at the facility, which is an indicator that the terrorist did not have much time to plan the attack. More information is expected later on, as forensic analysis of the remains and vehicle debris is conducted.Virginia: Yesterday a mass shooting was reported at Old Dominion University after a terrorist entered a classroom and began targeting students. Local authorities state that a lone gunman entered an ROTC classroom at ODU shortly before 11:00am yesterday morning, first shooting the instructor, who has been identified as LTC Brandon Shah. Immediately after the first shots were fired, the cadets in the classroom mounted a counterattack, using violence of action to subdue the attacker. At some point during the attack one cadet produced a pocket knife which was subsequently utilized in stabbing the attacker to death. The assailant was found dead by police at the scene after being stabbed 22x times.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Mohamad Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone and former National Guard soldier who had previously been convicted of attemp

Regan Archibald sits down with Eric Edmeades (creator of WildFit) to explore the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”—how modern environments, routines, and food systems can pull people away from the conditions humans historically adapted to. Eric shares stories from multiple immersive visits with the Hadzabe in Africa, including lessons about food priorities, movement, and seasonal eating, and contrasts those patterns with rapid shifts he's observed in places like the UK, Estonia, and Dubai as ultra-processed foods and convenience culture spread. The conversation also touches on behavior change, the role of mood and environment in food choices, and Eric's “Gap Finder” assessment—an evaluation designed to help people identify everyday lifestyle “gaps” and choose practical next steps, combining ancestral insights with modern tools and coaching programs.ERIC:Website: https://ericedmeades.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericedmeades/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericedmeadesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AWilderLifewithEricEdmeadesRESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Following Nepal's March 5 elections, preparations are underway to form a new government. Many voters travelled back to Nepal from abroad specifically to cast their ballots. Our Nepal correspondent Pratichya Dulal spoke with Utpal Mishra, who returned from the United States, Astha Kattel, a student in Germany, and Janak Singh Rawal, who travelled from Dubai. They say they made the journey home to vote in the hope of promoting good governance and a corruption-free society. - नेपालमा जेन जी प्रदर्शनी पछि घोषणा भएको प्रतिनिधिसभा सदस्य निर्वाचन सम्पन्न भएर नयाँ सरकार बन्ने सुरसार हुँदैछ। उक्त चुनावमा भाग लिन अस्ट्रेलिया लगायत देश-विदेशबाट नेपाली मतदाताहरू घर फर्किएका थिए। सोही क्रममा, अमेरिकाबाट नेपाल पुगेका उत्पल मिश्र, जर्मनींमा पढदै गरेकी आस्था कट्टेल र हाल इरान द्वन्दले प्रभावित खाडी क्षेत्रस्थित दुबईमा कार्यरत धनगढीका जनकसिंह रावलसँग नेपाल संवाददाता प्रतीक्षा दुलालले गर्नु भएको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।
MSC Cruises cancels all remaining Euribia Arabian Gulf winter sailings due to regional instability, stranding booked passengers and keeping the ship docked in Dubai. Norwegian Cruise Line extends drink package access to Great Stirrup Cay through March 2026, reversing an earlier policy that frustrated passengers. And the Blue Dream Melody cruise ship is detained in a Chinese port over an unpaid $599,000 fuel bill, leaving passengers and crew in limbo.
UK Base in Iraq comes under Iranian drone swarm attack, a British tourist in Dubai could face jail for filming Iranian missiles, and why are Lollipop ladies now wearing body cameras?
As Iran releases the new supreme leader's first statement, we hear from the country's UN ambassador, Ali Bahreini. We also track the expanding Israeli military assault on Lebanon, and ask how the insurance industry is handling the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a major conduit for global oil supplies. Also in the programme: British tourist among those arrested in Dubai for having missile photographs on his phone; and a tribute album for the jazz musician Miles Davis on the centenary of his birth.(Photo: Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei; Credit: ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH/EPA/Shutterstock)
//The Wire//2300Z March 11, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MULTIPLE SHIPS TARGETED BY IRANIANS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IRANIAN DRONE STRIKES REPORTED IN OMAN. POSSIBLE TERROR ATTACK OCCURS IN SWITZERLAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: Drone attacks throughout the Persian Gulf continue as before, with significant strikes being reported at the port city of Salalah in Oman this morning. Several drones targeted the oil storage tanks near the port, which have been burning throughout the day.Strait of Hormuz: This morning three merchant vessels were struck by Iranian munitions in the vicinity of the waterway. Two vessels were struck off the coast of Dubai and Ras al Khaymah, one of which was a containership that sustained unspecified damage. To the northeast, another vessel (the M/V MAYUREE NAREE) was struck while attempting to transit the Strait, which caused a fire that has since been extinguished. The crew of this vessel has reportedly abandoned ship in the hours after the strike, and three crew members remain missing.Analyst Comment: In addition to the threats posed by drones and missiles, concerns are growing regarding the possibility that the Strait may have been mined. President Trump indicated that the Iranians may have attempted to target vessels with naval mines over the past few days, however statements by American officials so far have have been inconclusive as to whether or not any mines have actually been laid. Due to this uncertainty, it would be wise for shipping companies to assume that at least some asymmetric naval capability exists within the Iranian Navy.Switzerland: Yesterday evening an attack was reported onboard a city bus in the town of Kerzers. One assailant set himself on fire while sitting on the bus, killing 6x people during the attack and wounding 5x others.Analyst Comment: So far, very little information has been released regarding this attack. The assailant has not been identified, and it may take some time for any potential motive to emerge. Due to the mass casualties that were caused by this incident, this incident should be considered a terror attack until more information comes to light.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning a vehicle ramming incident was reported at the White House, which involved an SUV attempting to ram through the barricades at the corner of Connecticut and H Street. No injuries were reported and the driver was arrested at the scene. No word yet on what caused the incident, or if this was a deliberate attack.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Indications and warnings are mounting that missile defenses throughout the Middle East may be dwindling. Over the past few days, civilian aircraft have been repositioned from airports around the region, and several airlines have canceled flights throughout the region, such as KLM which has halted flights to Dubai until March 28th. As airspace opens up between waves of drone attacks, many commercial and private aircraft owners are taking the opportunity to get their airframes out of harms way.As a result of these developments, many locals believe this an indicator of interceptor missiles running dry, and thus what seemed like a fairly tepid war (by comparison) might suddenly get more active if the interceptions of drones become less common. This is obviously pure speculation based on an unknown factor; the true number of air defenses any nation has is a closely guarded secret. The same theory applies around the region, from Israel to Kuwait, with nearly all nations involved heavily suppressing any social media posts referencing successful Iranian targeting efforts. Nevertheless, the truth eventually gets out and what can be observed is that the drones still fly and interceptions are not always successful. And that success rate may be decreasing, if the data provided is accurate.
//The Wire//1700Z March 12, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MEDIA REPORTS MINES LAID IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. MULTIPLE SHIPS STRUCK BY EXPLOSIVE BOATS IN PERSIAN GULF. THREATS TO AMERICAN HOMELAND REMAIN ELEVATED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Persian Gulf: Last night two tanker vessels were struck by Iranian Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). Two explosive-laden small boats rammed into the side of two oil tankers that were anchored outside the port of Basrah. The two vessels (the M/V ZEFYROS and M/V SAFESEA VISHNU) were conducting ship-to-ship operations near the Basra Oil Terminal when both vessels were struck by remotely-controlled explosive boats. Several hours later, a third vessel was struck by a drone in the southern Persian Gulf, off the coast of Jebel Ali.Strait of Hormuz: This morning many mainstream media sources have cited closed-source reporting claiming that Iranian forces have indeed mined the Strait. An estimated 10x mines have been laid, with some reports stating that potentially dozens of mines have been laid throughout the choke point.Analyst Comment: So far, there's not much we can do with off-the-record reports citing unknown sources. However, considering the concerns over the past few days, it's possible that the Iranians have laid a few strings of mines, even though doing so would likely harm their relationship with China. Where these mines are located, is anyone's guess. But if the Iranians can continue successful targeting efforts with remotely-piloted small boats, it would not be that much of a jump to assess that they can probably place a few mines as well.Middle East: Around the region, attacks on American installations and positions continue. Al Dhafra Airbase was struck this morning, and more substantial drone strikes were reported throughout Dubai overnight. Most of the munitions were intercepted, but the Address Creek Harbor hotel was hit by a Shahed drone early this morning. In Bahrain, hotels and other sites continue to be targeted by Iranian drones, in addition to oil infrastructure throughout the island nation which has been targeted several times since the start of this conflict.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday afternoon, multiple mainstream media outlets began broadcasting claims of an alleged plot for Iranian forces to attack the American homeland. Specifically, claims have been made that Iranian forces may attempt to launch drone attacks on California from ships off the west coast. No substantial information or context has been provided beyond that initial leak.As of right now, this is a giant game of telephone. The report probably came from the FBI, was passed to various police departments as a Law Enforcement Sensitive document, and was subsequently leaked to the media (without posting the actual source document). For context, the "Iranian drone ship off our coast" attack vector has been theory for so many years that in intel circles it's more of a thought experiment that is used to teach concepts. For many, many years, this theory has not been considered a serious threat, simply because Iranian forces do no have the naval capability to sustain combat operations off the American west coast. A subset of this thought experiment is the theory of some malign actor (in this case, the Iranians) using containerized drone launchers concealed onboard legitimate containerships, which would launch without notice. This theory is vastly more likely, and has been confirmed to not just be possible, but operationally effective, as demonstrated by Ukraine's Operation SPIDER WEB last year. However, Iran does not have the same capabilities as America-backed Ukraine, so this theory, while possible, still lies in the theoretical realm instead of a direct pending threat. Hopefully more information will come to light regarding what the threats actually
The war in Iran sent a massive wave of disruption to flights operating throughout the region and any flight crossing overhead because it's a major aerial thoroughfare between India, Australia, Southeast Asia and Europe. Jon Ostrower and Brett Snyder examine the long-term effect on flows to places like Dubai and Doha as superconnecting hubs, and the impact that the swings in oil prices will have on all airlines globally.
Why do some people love cilantro, while others say it tastes like soap? How did Dubai chocolate take the world by storm?

Today on the Tales of a Nuffield Scholar series I had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah Hughes
We discuss the breathless article in Jeff Bezo's Washington Post about how Claude's integration into the Palantir Maven Smart System has been used for rapid target generation and prioritization for missile strikes in Iran. Then we go deeper into the fraying relationship between the Gulf states and the tech industry and the highly concentrated forms of financial investment and physical infrastructure in the UAE and Saudi Arabia that are load-bearing pillars of the global economy. Pillars that are now, very surprisingly for folks living in the Dubai Geopolitics Slow Zone, suddenly at risk from the consequences of geopolitics. ••• TMK live show in San Francisco, 7pm on Thursday, March 19th, with our friends at Bay Area Current and DSA SF.

Oil Spikes, Strait of Hormuz Disruption, and War Psychology: Doug on the Iran Conflict and Market Risk Doug and the host discuss how oil futures briefly hit $120 amid escalating conflict involving Iran, arguing markets still aren't fully pricing the risks. They call the US action an unprovoked war, stress that wartime information is unreliable, and predict a long conflict followed by a major psychological campaign to build US public support, similar to COVID-era shifts. They cite reported destruction or severe damage to expensive US assets in the Gulf, disruption fears in places like Dubai, and the Strait of Hormuz being effectively closed, taking roughly 20% of global oil supply offline and prompting early global moves like rationing and price controls. They warn government interventions can worsen economic fallout, discuss positioning in commodities (notably a corn ETF) and oil stocks, and advise Americans to "panic early," prepare for fuel/food shocks, possible cyberattacks, and broader supply-chain instability. 00:00 Market Shock and Oil Spike 00:38 Unprovoked War and Propaganda 04:10 Backlash and Free Speech Costs 07:10 Long War and Public Psyops 09:32 Gulf Escalation and Energy Crunch 13:02 Government Meddling and Trade Ideas 22:03 Global Shipping Norms Unravel 28:00 Prepare Early for Domestic Fallout 32:25 Boots on the Ground and Wrap Up

Ten days into the U.S.–Israel war with Iran, the conflict is expanding across the Middle East — and Gulf countries once seen as neutral players are now under direct attack. Mosheh talks with Fox News Correspondent Lucas Tomlinson, reporting from Dubai, for a look at how the war is unfolding on the ground.Tomlinson explains why Iran is targeting Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and whether those governments may soon join the US strikes on Iran. He also breaks down Iran's military strategy — including waves of low-cost drones designed to overwhelm expensive U.S. and allied defenses.The conversation explores the condition of U.S. military assets in the region, including reports of radar damage and the enormous cost of intercepting Iranian missiles and drones. We also ask what "mission accomplished" actually means for Washington and potential ground missions — including special forces operations and the strategic importance of Iran's oil export hub at Kharg Island.
