On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion against Iran, shifting the balance of power in the Middle East. Iran's nuclear sites were bombed, its Air Defense Systems, crippled and top military leadership and nuclear scientists, assassinated. But did Israel achieve the objectives of this operation?

France, UK, and Canada have stated they will recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly this coming September. Will their support and recognition of a Palestinian state achieve a Two-State Solution? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Pastor Rich Jones joins Dr. Matthew Dodd in studio to discuss this question along with other issues pertaining to Israel and the Middle East.

On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” attacking Iran's ballistic missiles installations, eliminating a significant number of Iran's elite military leadership and nuclear scientists. Then on June 21, 2025, the United States unleashed “Operation Midnight Hammer” and attacked Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Now that the dust has settled, what are the key takeaways from these military operations? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss the ramifications of both strikes and also provide an assessment of the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Iran's supreme leader recently claimed victory, simply by reason of survival, in the war launched by Israel on 13 June, and joined a week later by the United States. With the twelve-day conflict apparently over, Adam Shatz talks to Narges Bajoghli, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Robert Malley, a former lead negotiator for the US in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, about why the war came about and what it means for the region. With Bajoghli, Adam looks at the way the war has been seen by the regime's supporters and detractors, and the effects on the Iranian population of Israel's widespread infiltration of the country. With Malley, he considers the events that paved the way for Israel's attack and why America's bombing of the nuclear facility at Fordow will probably not spur Iran to accelerate its nuclear programme.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – For over 16 years, U.S. military planners tracked Iran's fortified Fordow nuclear site, concluding in 2009 that existing munitions were insufficient. Collaborating with defense contractors, they developed the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bombs, deployed last weekend in Operation Midnight Hammer. Fourteen GBU-57s and two dozen Tomahawk missiles struck undetected, demonstrating strategic precision...

James Fanell Gordon Chang THIRD HOUR 11:00-11:15 1/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition On a sunny September day in 1931, a Soviet spy walked down the gangplank of the luxury transatlantic liner SS Europa and into New York. Attracting no attention, Stanislav Shumovsky had completed his journey from Moscow to enroll at a top American university. He was concealed in a group of 65 Soviet students heading to prestigious academic institutions. But he was after far more than an excellent education. Recognizing Russia was 100 years behind the encircling capitalist powers, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had sent Shumovsky on a mission to acquire America's vital secrets to help close the USSR's yawning technology gap. The road to victory began in the classrooms and laboratories of MIT – Shumovsky's destination soon became the unwitting finishing school for elite Russian spies. The USSR first transformed itself into a military powerhouse able to confront and defeat Nazi Germany. Then in an extraordinary feat that astonished the West, in 1947 American ingenuity and innovation exfiltrated by Shumovsky made it possible to build and unveil the most advanced strategic bomber in the world. Following his lead, other MIT-trained Soviet spies helped acquire the secrets of the Manhattan Project. By 1949, Stalin's fleet of TU-4s, now equipped with atomic bombs could devastate the US on his command. Appropriately codenamed BLÉRIOT, Shumovsky was an aviation spy. Shumovsky's espionage was so successful that the USSR acquired every US aviation secret from his network of agents in factories and at top secret military research institutes. In this thrilling history, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a journey through Stalin's most audacious intelligence operation. She pieces together every aspect of Shumovsky's life and character using information derived from American and Russian archives, exposing how even Shirley Temple and Franklin D. Roosevelt unwittingly advanced his schemes. 11:15-11:30 2/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition 11:30-11:45 3/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition 11:45-12:00 4/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition FOURTH HOUR 12:00-12:15 France: Heat wave and country lanes.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Operation Midnight Hammer was a covert U.S. military strike on June 21–22, 2025, using B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, GBU-57 MOP bunker-busters, and over two dozen Tomahawk missiles to neutralize Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities without ground troops. The mission, led by Secretary Hegseth and Chairman Cain, reshaped regional security and provoked vigorous debate...

At today's NATO summit, President Trump devoted a great deal of his press conference to the US's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. After a back and forth over a leaked Pentagon report suggesting the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months, Trump said it was preliminary and "inconclusive." Then he got another report by Israel's Atomic Energy Commission, saying the US attack on Fordow "destroyed the site's critical infrastructure." Iran itself also said the facilities were badly damaged. David Petraeus served as the Commander of Centcom and Director of the CIA and joins Christiane to discuss this all.  Also on today's show: former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, now Co-Chair of the European Council on Foreign Relations; former CDC epidemiologist Dr. Fiona Havers, who quit after actions by RFK Jr.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerusalem Post military correspondent Yonah Jeremy Bob, co-author of Target Tehran: How Israel Is Using Sabotage, Cyberwarfare, Assassination—and Secret Diplomacy—to Stop a Nuclear Iran and Create a New Middle East, explains how Israel coordinated hundreds of strikes and infiltrations across Iran, what the U.S. MOP strike on Fordow actually accomplished, and why Netanyahu's longtime caution gave way to a high-stakes gamble. He also delves into internal Israeli debates over assassinating Khamenei, the strategy behind targeting Iran's domestic enforcers, and why the Iranian nuclear threat is now both diminished and more unpredictable Plus: Mamdani's cheerful radicalism, Cuomo's glower, and a reminder that aspirational politics can veer into Theranos territory.

Trump Declares Iran War Over, But Violence Continues President Trump announces a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, marking the end of what he calls “The 12-Day War.” However, hours later, Iran fires missiles into Israel, killing civilians and casting doubt on the truce. Trump credits intense negotiations, a coordinated missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, and backchannel diplomacy with Qatar for securing peace, though federal agencies are still bracing for cyberattacks and sleeper cell threats. Iran's Military Crippled, Supreme Leader Marginalized Israel's extensive bombing campaign has left Iran's military and missile infrastructure devastated. The Fordow nuclear site is believed to be inoperable, and Tehran's airspace has been compromised. Trump warns Iran and its allies not to test American resolve, while U.S. intelligence keeps close watch on potential "loose nuke" material and foreign meddling from Russia or China. Supreme Court Sides with Trump on Deportation Powers The Court allows the deportation of illegal immigrants to countries that are not their homeland, marking a win for the White House and a relief for ICE agents stranded in Djibouti. However, a Democrat judge in Boston defies the ruling, creating legal chaos. Florida responds by building a new migrant facility in the Everglades, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Mexican Mayor Praises Trump's Border Plan The mayor of Nogales, Mexico, endorses Trump's deportation strategy, saying it brings order and coordination that benefits border communities. Meanwhile, revelations emerge that leftist protestors are being hired through companies like Crowds on Demand to disrupt immigration enforcement. Violence Against ICE Agents Surges DHS reports a 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers. Officials and family members are being doxxed, attacked, and harassed, as Democratic leaders call ICE a “secret police” and demand agents show their identities while defending protestors' rights to wear masks. Nebraskans Line Up to Work in Meatpacking. No Migrants Needed A new beef processing plant in North Platte, Nebraska, is drawing strong interest from American workers with 2,000 applicants for 850 jobs. Workers like Angela Jones are earning $25 an hour with benefits, challenging the narrative that Americans won't take “dirty jobs.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32   Take your personal data back with Incogni!

When we last recorded Saturday night, the U.S. had just announced its strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. The U.S. had entered the war. The restrainers had seemingly lost. In the following hours, President Donald Trump said the mission was a “spectacular military success.” And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the program “obliterated” Iran's nuclear sites.  But there's much more to that story than meets the eye. As Jay Solomon wrote in our pages: Before the U.S. struck, 16 cargo trucks entered the fortified mountain complex and moved unidentified equipment to another location. Are the sites destroyed or merely damaged? Was enriched uranium smuggled out? It all remains unclear. Now the war is heating up. Israel has expanded its bombing campaign beyond nuclear facilities to hit regime targets. Qatar has closed its airspace. And just as we write this, Iran has reportedly fired toward Qatar and Iraq. It all begs the question: Was the strike on Iran's Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant the end of this war—or just the beginning? And what comes next? To understand the state of the nuclear facilities and the state of the war, we've brought together three of the most well-read experts: Michael Oren, Jay Solomon, and Matti Friedman. Oren is the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. He served from 2009 to 2013. He is also a former Knesset member. He is the author of many books, including Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide. Solomon is an investigative journalist who has covered Iran and the region for decades. He just published an explosive piece for The Free Press titled “Did Iran Just Sneak Out Critical Nuclear Material from Fordow?” And, Friedman is our Jerusalem-based columnist, and the author of four books, including his latest, Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai. He just wrote  “After the Bombs: American B-2s Just Changed the Middle East. Now It's Time to Return the Region to the Humans Who Live Here” for our pages. We'll note we recorded this Monday morning, starting around 11 a.m. ET, as a Free Press Live event. To join these, you just need to do one thing—and that's become a Free Press subscriber.

The United States has bombed Iranian nuclear facilities—an extraordinary military action authorized by a President who campaigned against prolonged wars. In today's interview, national security expert Michael Allen, host of NatSec Matters, offers insight into the Israeli strikes, Iran's capacity to respond, and what Trump's decision means for the region and the world. Plus, we weigh the risks of a quagmire against the reactions from MAGA loyalists who only just learned how to pronounce “Fordow.” Trump's instincts are erratic, his rhetoric reckless—but the strikes appear largely effective, and now the world waits to see what comes next.

The B-2 strike on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility was a show of unmatched precision and power—but the rush to celebrate masks a dangerous truth. Triumphalism, especially from Trump's political base, treats the attack as an end rather than a beginning. But Iran has built its legacy on asymmetric warfare, and tonight's strike may have opened a long, uncertain chapter rather than closed one. This isn't just about a bomb dropped—it's about what comes next. Iran doesn't need nukes to retaliate; it needs patience and proxies. The enemy gets a vote, and Tehran is likely already planning its next move. Triumphalism isn't victory—it's the prelude to tragedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

IRAN: WHAT IS INSIDE FORDOW, ISFAHAN AND NATANZ? ANDREA STRICKER, FDD 1852 TEHRAN

Trump Launches Massive Airstrike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities On Saturday night, U.S. forces struck Iran's nuclear sites at Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow using Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers with bunker-busting MOPs. The operation aimed to halt Iran's growing nuclear threat without seeking regime change. The Lead-Up: Peace Talks Failed, Iran Accelerated Toward the Bomb Despite last-minute efforts, peace negotiations collapsed when Iran's Supreme Leader couldn't be reached. U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirmed Iran was accelerating weapons development, missile programs, and plans for a potential strike on Israel. The Strike Plan: 125 Aircraft and Precision Targeting The operation involved over 125 U.S. aircraft and coordination with Israeli and Arab allies. All aircraft returned safely. Early satellite imagery confirms severe damage to nuclear facilities, though some equipment may have been smuggled out to China before the attack. Iran's Response: Missile Strikes, Terror Threats, and Strait of Hormuz Threat Iran fired missiles into Israeli cities, injuring civilians, and warned of sleeper cell attacks in the West. Its parliament is considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil passage, which could trigger wider war. Russia, China, and Europe React Russia threatens to provide Iran with nuclear warheads. France warns of Iranian terror cells in Europe. The U.S. and Arab allies brace for retaliation while some quietly support Israel's actions. U.S. Homeland at Risk from Sleeper Cells FBI Director Kash Patel ramps up counterterror operations, especially with concerns about Iranian saboteurs among the millions of unvetted illegal immigrants. Border Czar Tom Homan blames Biden-era immigration for the heightened risk. What Comes Next: Regime Change, Retaliation, or Peace? President Trump insists regime change is not the goal, though he hints at it. Arab leaders back Israel privately. Europe fears a terror wave. America must now prepare for blowback, both at home and abroad. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32 Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Today's Headlines: The U.S. launched military strikes on three of Iran's key nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—this weekend, marking a major escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict. President Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success,” though Iran claimed it had already moved its enriched uranium, blunting the strike's long-term impact. Notably, senior Republicans and Israeli leadership were briefed beforehand—Democrats were not. In response, DHS issued a terrorism alert for a heightened threat environment this summer, citing potential cyberattacks and global protests. At the UN, Iran accused the U.S. of destroying diplomacy and Russia warned the strikes opened a “Pandora's box.” Meanwhile, Pakistan bizarrely announced it will recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for allegedly mediating peace between India and Pakistan—something Indian officials firmly deny. In domestic news, courts issued a series of major rulings: a judge ordered the release of Palestinian grad student Mahmoud Khalil from federal detention, prompting a DHS appeal; Trump was granted continued control of California's National Guard amid immigration protests; and a Louisiana law requiring display of the Ten Commandments in schools was struck down as unconstitutional. Finally, HHS will end LGBTQ-specific services on the 988 suicide hotline by July 17 and Cybernews reported that 16 billion login credentials were leaked online in a massive data compilation.

Send us a textStrap in, because this Daily Drop drops bombs—literally. Jared's back from the San Diego Operator Training Summit and immediately diving into the nuclear circus known as Operation Midnight Hammer—the largest B-2 strike in U.S. history. We're talking 125+ aircraft, deception ops worthy of Hollywood, and a casual flex on Iran's nuclear ambitions. But don't worry, the Pentagon swears it's not “regime change.”Also in this episode:CENTCOM's tanker games, shady KC-135 logistics, and a DoD recruiting task force that somehow thinks legal and public affairs are your new talent magnets (spoiler: they're not).A Marine takes over the F-35 program, we slap “F-47” on our next-gen fighter because Trump said so, and someone in Oregon thinks they can tell the federal government what to do with the National Guard.Oh—and China's getting military secrets from broke Army NCOs. Cool. Cool cool cool.This one's loaded with hot takes, hard truths, and the usual blend of sarcasm and side-eye from the Ones Ready crew. Buckle up, buttercup.

On Saturday night, June 22, President Donald Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer sent a message to Tehran, and the world, that can't be ignored.    Seven Missouri-based B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-busting bombs on Iran's Fordow nuclear site, while U.S. Navy vessels launched a barrage of cruise missiles at other strategic nuclear infrastructure.    Victor Davis Hanson explains what just happened—and what could come next—on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   “ [Iran] must know that people are angry. That over 50 years, nearly, they spent a trillion dollars subsidizing the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad dynasty. And for what? It's all up in smoke. And then they probably lost another trillion dollars, over 50 years, through sanctions and oil embargoes. For what? It's up in smoke.   “ Right now the ball is in the court of Iran. Trump has said to them, you can come back and negotiate. But, what would they negotiate over? Their one card was that we have the specter of a nuclear bomb. So, you better come to us and talk. They don't have that anymore. At least not for the foreseeable future. The only negotiable item is whether they survive or not.”   (0:00) Trump's Bold Military Move in the Middle East (0:57) Historical Context of U.S. Actions in the Middle East (2:23) Details of the Recent Military Operation (4:34) Potential Repercussions and Future Speculations (5:55) Iran's Next Move and Global Reactions (6:39) Israel and U.S. Stature Post-Operation  

Aaron McIntire dives into the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan under Operation Midnight Hammer. Trump called the strikes a “spectacular military success,” targeting Iran's nuclear ambitions, with no U.S. losses reported. The episode covers reactions from Israeli PM Netanyahu, who praised Trump's decisive action, to critics like Rep. Thomas Massie, who warn of a protracted war. VP JD Vance defends the strikes as necessary, while concerns about Iranian retaliation and global escalation loom. The episode recaps a smart analysis of the potential for World War 3 by Virginia delegate and former special forces operator Nick Freitas.    AM Update, Aaron McIntire, Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran, Israel, Trump, nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, Thomas Massie, Nick Friedes, World War III, Middle East, B-2 bombers, bunker buster

On Saturday night at 7:50 pm ET, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. had entered the war against Iran when he posted: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” In the minutes after this historic announcement we assembled six of the top experts on this issue: Haviv Rettig Gur, Michael Doran, Mark Dubowitz, Amit Segal, Eli Lake, and Matt Continetti. We discussed it all: what we actually know about the strikes; what it means for Iran's nuclear capabilities, how Iran might respond; why Trump struck now; what this means for the Middle East; and what Trump's national address signalled to the American public, to Israel, and most importantly to Iran.

Iran-Israel Conflict and U.S. Involvement: The discussion highlights Israel’s military actions against Iran, particularly targeting nuclear facilities and military leadership. There is a focus on the Fordow nuclear facility, which is heavily fortified and allegedly beyond Israel’s current military capabilities to destroy without U.S. assistance. The speakers advocate for the U.S. to provide or deploy bunker-buster bombs to assist Israel in neutralizing this threat. U.S. Foreign Policy and Deterrence: Cruz argues for a strong deterrence-based foreign policy, contrasting it with what he describes as the weakness of the Biden administration. He supports Trump’s approach, emphasizing strength and the threat of retaliation to prevent attacks on American servicemembers. Criticism of Isolationism: The conversation critiques isolationist views, particularly those attributed to Tucker Carlson, suggesting that disengagement emboldens adversaries like Iran. Iranian Threats Against U.S. Leaders: Cruz claims Iran has actively plotted to assassinate Donald Trump and other former U.S. officials, citing DOJ indictments and intelligence reports. He criticizes Carlson for allegedly denying or downplaying these threats during a previous interview. Media and Political Dynamics: The podcast discusses perceived media bias and attempts to create division within the Republican Party over foreign policy. Trump is portrayed as a unifying figure for the GOP on national security issues, with Cruz expressing strong alignment with his policies. Military Strategy and Limitations: There is technical discussion about military hardware, such as the B-2 bomber and 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, which only the U.S. possesses. The speakers stress that while they oppose ground troop deployment, they support targeted airstrikes to neutralize nuclear threats. Public Opinion and Political Messaging: A poll is cited showing strong public support for military action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The conversation frames this support as evidence of the mainstream nature of their position. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

President Trump says he'll decide within two weeks whether to help Israel destroy the Iranian nuclear program, which might mean hitting the Fordow enrichment site, which is buried in a mountain, using U.S. bunker-buster bombs. Some MAGA Republicans argue this isn't "America First," but do they misunderstand Trump's views about when the U.S. can act decisively? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's episode delivers rapid-fire coverage of the top global and domestic developments shaping America and the world. FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran's Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged. Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base's new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns. Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action Trump's updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement. Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump's goal of letting regional players secure their own territory. Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback. Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters. Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates. Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss. Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns. Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico's more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada's confrontational approach. New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

Israel-Iran Conflict: Israel has reportedly conducted highly effective military operations against Iran, targeting military leadership and nuclear facilities. Iran is retaliating with ballistic missile attacks aimed at Israeli civilians. The discussion emphasizes Israel’s precision and success in degrading Iran’s military capabilities. U.S. Involvement and Trump’s Role: The podcast speculates on whether the U.S., under former President Donald Trump, will assist Israel by deploying bunker-busting bombs to destroy Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility. Trump’s long-standing position against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons is highlighted through a montage of his past statements. Tucker Carlson Interview: Cruz recounts a contentious interview with Tucker Carlson, criticizing Carlson’s isolationist stance and his recent attacks on Trump. The conversation touches on Carlson’s views on AIPAC and his skepticism about Iran’s threat to Trump. Foreign Policy Philosophy: Cruz outlines his stance as a “non-interventionist hawk,” advocating for strong defense and selective military action to protect U.S. interests. He contrasts this with both interventionist and isolationist extremes. Public Sentiment and Political Unity: The hosts argue that the majority of Americans support strong action against Iran to prevent nuclear proliferation. They downplay the idea of a major rift within the MAGA movement over foreign policy. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

It's the fourth day in the war between Iran and Israel. Many questions hang in the air. Chief among them: Will Israel be able to fulfill its main goal in the war—to end Iran's nuclear program? Will it put troops on the ground to do so, specifically to blow up Iran's most important nuclear site? Or will the U.S. get involved? Will Trump provide the bunker-busting bombs necessary to destroy the facility at Fordow? Will the regime fall—and if so, what will come next? How does this struggle fit into the much, much larger geopolitical conflict between the U.S. and China? So today, I have two experts to break it all down: Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins. Niall Ferguson is a historian and Free Press columnist who just wrote in our pages, “Israel's attack restores the credibility of the West.” Dexter Filkins is a longtime foreign correspondent who has reported from Iran. He is a contributor at The New Yorker, has covered this topic for years, and is the author of The Forever War. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
