Iran and the United States have been adversaries for decades. But caught in the middle are the 92 million Iranians with "90 million opinions" on their government, foreign intervention, and state of their society. In this episode of "Values & Interests," Neda Bolourchi, senior non-resident fellow at the Institute for Global Affairs at Eurasia Group, draws on history and personal values to explore competing visions of change in Iran, the enduring strength of the current regime, and the realities that often get lost in debates about intervention and national sovereignty.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste domingo (07): O governo brasileiro intensifica as negociações com os Estados Unidos para tentar evitar a aplicação de uma tarifa de 25% sobre produtos nacionais. A medida, anunciada pela gestão de Donald Trump, gera preocupação sobre os impactos comerciais e geopolíticos na relação entre os dois países. Brasília busca ampliar o prazo das tratativas até meados de julho e trabalha para manter o Pix fora das discussões. Para analisar o cenário e os possíveis desdobramentos, a Jovem Pan entrevista Fabio Andrade, professor de relações internacionais. A Justiça do Peru determinou o prosseguimento do processo contra o candidato à Presidência Roberto Sánchez, da coalizão Juntos por el Perú, a apenas dois dias do segundo turno das eleições presidenciais. Sánchez é acusado de omitir informações relacionadas ao financiamento partidário em eventos realizados entre 2018 e 2020. A decisão judicial não impede sua participação na votação marcada para domingo (7), mas acrescenta um novo elemento de tensão ao cenário político peruano. O tribunal rejeitou os argumentos apresentados pela defesa e validou formalmente a acusação, embora ainda caibam recursos. A ponte Ponte Frei Paolino Baldassari desabou no início da noite desta sexta-feira (05) em Sena Madureira, deixando quatro pessoas feridas. A estrutura havia sido inaugurada em março de 2024 e estava interditada desde quinta-feira (04). A obra custou R$ 36 milhões e foi supervisionada pelo Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem, Infraestrutura Hidroviária e Aeroportuária do Acre (DER-Acre). A União Europeia oficializou a exclusão do Brasil da lista de países autorizados a exportar carnes e outros produtos de origem animal para o bloco. A medida, que entra em vigor em setembro, foi justificada pela falta de garantias relacionadas ao controle sanitário de antimicrobianos. O governo federal afirmou ter sido surpreendido pela decisão, enquanto entidades do agronegócio contestam o veto e defendem a qualidade dos sistemas de controle e fiscalização brasileiros. Para analisar os impactos econômicos e comerciais da medida, a Jovem Pan entrevista Felippe Serigati. A defesa de Jairo Souza Santos Júnior anunciou que recorrerá da sentença que condenou o ex-vereador a 43 anos, 9 meses e 20 dias de prisão pela morte de Henry Borel. Segundo o advogado Rodrigo Faucz, o recurso será apresentado na próxima segunda-feira e terá como base a alegação de que a decisão dos jurados foi contrária ao conjunto de provas produzido durante o processo. A defesa também afirma ter registrado mais de 20 supostas nulidades ao longo do julgamento, que, na avaliação dos advogados, comprometem a validade da condenação e podem levar à anulação do júri. O Dia dos Namorados deve movimentar cerca de R$ 26 bilhões no comércio em todo o Brasil, segundo pesquisa. O levantamento da Confederação Nacional dos Dirigentes Lojistas (CNDL) e do SPC Brasil aponta que aproximadamente 100 milhões de consumidores pretendem presentear seus parceiros neste ano, o equivalente a seis em cada dez brasileiros. Roupas, perfumes, cosméticos e chocolates estão entre os itens mais procurados, com gasto médio estimado em R$ 264 por pessoa. A pesquisa também mostra que 76% dos consumidores devem pesquisar preços antes das compras e 34% pretendem parcelar os gastos. Além dos presentes tradicionais, a venda de flores também deve crescer, impulsionada pela data comemorativa, pela chegada do frio e pelo calendário de eventos do período. A decisão dos Estados Unidos relacionada às facções criminosas pode gerar impactos no sistema financeiro e aumentar as exigências de compliance sobre instituições bancárias. O tema levanta discussões sobre controles, monitoramento de operações e adequação às normas internacionais. Para analisar os possíveis efeitos da medida e os desafios para o setor financeiro, a Jovem Pan entrevista Cristopher Garman, diretor da Eurasia Group.

Over the past month, there have been two dominant stories in American foreign policy. One, of course, is the war with Iran. The other is the much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping of China. And I think if you look closely at both of these stories, you see that our foreign policy has entered into a period of absolute incoherence. I'm not even sure what the status of the Iran war is at this point. What is Trump trying to achieve? What is he willing to accept? Taking a more hawkish approach to China has been a core and consistent principle of Trump's since his first term. He's been insistent that China has taken advantage of the United States and that America needed to change that dynamic and flex more power. But is that happening? Is that even Trump's position anymore? So I wanted to do an episode looking at China and Iran and trying to assess Trump's foreign policy in general and the ways he's remaking what America means on the world stage.

Ian Bremmer (President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down where the Iran war is actually heading — and why the short-term politics are masking a much more serious long-term problem. Bremmer walks through the state of the ceasefire talks, the role Jared Kushner is playing in negotiations, and why Trump now has marginally more leverage than he did in the first round — but still not enough to get a deal that holds. He and Cuomo debate whether the Abraham Accords were a genuine diplomatic achievement or a business arrangement that lined Kushner's pockets, and what that history means for trusting the current process. The conversation turns to the economic consequences that are already unfolding — semiconductor shortages, jet fuel supply chains, LNG infrastructure damage, and the Strait of Hormuz — and why Bremmer argues these will take years to work through regardless of how Trump announces an exit.

Rising tensions in the Middle East and a shifting political divide in the US take center stage. As Donald Trump extends a fragile ceasefire with Iran, questions grow over how the conflict will end - with Iran still controlling the Strait of Hormuz and US pressure ongoing. At the same time, public opinion in America is undergoing a dramatic shift. Support for Israel is declining across both parties, with more Americans now sympathizing with Palestinians than Israelis - an unprecedented change shaping the future of US politics. Tonight's debate captures that divide: lifelong Democrat Alan Dershowitz switches parties to defend Israel, while Republican Joe Kent breaks ranks over US ties to Israel and the Iran War. With potential 2028 contenders like Josh Shapiro and Rahm Emanuel weighing in, the political stakes couldn't be higher. How does the Iran conflict end and where does America stand on Israel now?

What happens when the rules of the global game are being rewritten in real-time? Ian Bremmer, the founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, joins host Zachary Karabell to discuss how to navigate a world defined by a "long geopolitical recession" and the erosion of the post-1945 order. From the escalating conflicts in the Middle East and the surprising vulnerabilities of the economic models in the Gulf to the "asymmetric war fighting" that allows drones to bring the global economy to its knees, this episode reckons with a world that seems to be disintegrating rather than coming together. Bremmer and Karabell explore why we aren't getting a better picture of what's happening on the ground in places like Iran and Yemen, and whether the "noise" of modern social media is a tool for freedom or a new mechanism for state control. As political revolutionaries rise and established media organizations downsize, Bremmer and Karabell ask: is our current information environment worse than it was 30 years ago, or can individuals still "sniff out" the truth? And: Is this the peak of global chaos, or just a cyclical trough before a new rebound? What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.

The global order that shaped the past several decades is giving way to a more fragmented and uncertain world. Long-standing alliances are under strain, economic integration is giving way to competition, and geopolitical risk is once again a central driver of markets and policy. These shifts are not abstract. They are reshaping trade flows, disrupting supply chains, and contributing to volatility in energy markets and the broader economy—affecting everything from fuel prices to the cost of goods. So, how might great power competition, geopolitical fragmentation, artificial intelligence, and global instability redefine the international landscape? And what will that mean for policymakers, businesses, and the global energy system? This week's episode features a fireside chat between Jason Bordoff and Ian Bremmer from the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2026, which was hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA and recorded earlier today. Jason and Ian examine the Iran crisis, the Islamabad talks, and the shifting dynamics of the Gulf region. They also address the "myth" of sovereign AI, China's strategy, and the deep structural concerns of global CEOs navigating today's volatility. Ian Bremmer is the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a geopolitical risk advisory firm, and GZERO Media, a digital media company providing coverage of international affairs. He is the author of eleven books, including his latest work, The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World.

Gregory Brew of Eurasia Group joins Rory to discuss the potential collapse of the Carter Doctrine following a provocative social media post by President Trump regarding the security of the Persian Gulf. The discussion centers on the 1980 policy that committed the U.S. to using military force to protect the flow of oil, a guarantee that now appears to be evaporating as Trump signals an end to U.S. protection for global energy routes. With the Strait of Hormuz closed for over a month and oil prices soaring toward $200, the episode explores the "Unilateral Taco" scenario where Trump might abruptly end hostilities regardless of whether the waterway is reopened. Brew analyzes Iran's shift from a struggle for survival to a strategic effort to maximize gains and impose tolls, leveraging their functional control over the world's most critical maritime chokepoint. The conversation also breaks down the "hydraulic relationship" between energy prices and political pressure, specifically how Iran uses allies like the Houthis as a lever to keep prices high and force a U.S. de-escalation. Brew examines the precarious position of GCC nations and Israel, who face the risk of their territories becoming permanent "live fire zones" if the U.S. abandons its traditional security role. Finally, the episode questions what a post-war status quo looks like and whether the credibility of U.S. energy guarantees can ever be restored after such a fundamental shift in geopolitical priorities

On Christmas Day, the United States launched a series of missile strikes in Nigeria, ostensibly against jihadist groups. In the weeks prior, Donald Trump had been claiming that Christians in Nigeria were being subjected to systematic attacks by such groups, and he framed these strikes as a "Christmas present" that killed jihadist leaders and destroyed terrorist camps. But that does not seem to have been the case. The strikes largely targeted an area in northwest Nigeria that is not home to any major jihadist group, and credible independent analysts have not found evidence of any deaths. Last week, a New York Times report found unexploded Tomahawk missiles lying in a field. So what is actually going on here? My guest today, Amaka Anku, is the head of Eurasia Group's Africa Practice. She was in Nigeria at the time of the strikes, which she said caused considerable bewilderment among Nigerians. We kick off by discussing what we know about the missile strikes and why the region targeted was politically convenient for both the American and Nigerian governments. We then have a longer conversation about what these American missile strikes say—and don't say—about Nigeria's multiple security challenges. Support the show! https://www.globaldispatches.org/

With the global order under increasing strain, 2026 is shaping up to be a tipping point for geopolitics. From political upheaval in the United States to widening conflicts abroad, the risks facing governments, markets, and societies are converging faster—and more forcefully—than at any time in recent memory.To break it all down, journalist Julia Chatterley moderated a wide-ranging conversation with Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, and a panel of Eurasia Group experts, to examine the findings of their newly-released Top Risks of 2026 report.One theme dominates the discussion: the United States itself. From an accelerating political revolution at home to a more aggressive projection of power abroad, Washington has become the single biggest driver of global risk. That shift is playing out vividly in the Western Hemisphere, where dramatic developments in Venezuela signal a renewed US willingness to shape political outcomes closer to home.Along with Ian Bremmer, the Eurasia Group panel included Gerald Butts, Vice Chairman; Risa Grais-Targow, Director, Latin America; Cliff Kupchan, Chairman; and Mujtaba (Mij) Rahman, Managing Director, Europe. Their discussion also digs into the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, rising instability among US allies in Europe, intensifying US-China competition, and the growing geopolitical consequences of artificial intelligence—all against the backdrop of a world with fewer guardrails and weaker global leadership.As Bremmer argues, these risks are not isolated. They are symptoms of a deeper transformation: a GZERO world, where power is unconstrained, alliances are fragile, and no single country can—or will—stabilize the international system.Host: Julia ChatterleyGuests: Ian Bremmer, Risa Grais-Targow, Cliff Kupchan, Mujtaba (Mij) Rahman, Gerald Butts Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
