On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with writer Hooman Majd about the escalating Israel-US war on Iran and how these countries are expanding the war to Lebanon, the Gulf States, and beyond. Majd describes the constant barrage of bombs on Tehran, how Israel is displacing Lebanese people, and that the death toll is growing. This week, Iranian leaders marched in the streets of Tehran projecting unity and defiance as the war reaches two weeks.  Majd says there's no sign that Israel or the US are going to end the war, and there's no sign that Iran is going to surrender or negotiate a ceasefire. Despite Trump's claims that he would pick the next leader of Iran, Iranian leadership appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new Supreme Leader.  They also discuss the restrictions on foreign journalists in Iran, how the attacks on Iran come on the heels of Trump's assault on Venezuela, how fundamental religious figures are shaping the war, and the creation of a new refugee crisis in Lebanon and this crisis could spread to Iran if the US deploys ground troops. Hooman Majd is an Iranian-American writer, and the author of three books on Iran, including the New York Times bestseller The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. His new book, a memoir, is Minister Without Portfolio: Memoir of a Reluctant Exile. Majd has also written for The New Yorker, GQ, Newsweek, The New York Times, The New Republic, Time, Vanity Fair, The Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, Politico, and Interview Magazine, among others. He is a contributor to NBC News. He has published short fiction in literary journals such as Guernica and The American Scholar. He lives in New York City.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Foreign policy choices shape life at home. When leaders chase endless wars, expand government power, and tolerate selective justice, citizens pay the price. A republic survives when voters demand constitutional limits, reject corruption, and participate locally. Civic responsibility today protects liberty, security, and opportunity for the next generation of Americans to inherit and defend...

Foreign Policy

Donald Trump's approach to global threats is in the spotlight. From Iran to Cuba to Latin American cartels, Trump and allies like Marco Rubio and Ken Paxton reportedly coordinated with regional leaders to dismantle criminal networks and eliminate hostile leadership. Today's episode unpacks the strategy, potential risks, and historic implications of these actions for U.S. foreign policy and national security. Episode Summary The focus of today's discussion is Trump's multi-pronged strategy against international threats, including the Iranian regime, Cuban instability, and Latin American cartels. Analysts claim Trump coordinated with allies and local governments to neutralize dangerous actors and assert U.S. dominance in critical regions. Key highlights include: Trump's leadership style described as combining Reagan-era decisiveness with bold, contemporary military strategy. Iran's leadership targeted to prevent future threats, drawing parallels to prior U.S. operations in Afghanistan. Coordination with Latin American countries to dismantle cartel networks and secure borders. The use of precise military force, including targeted strikes, as a tool to stabilize regions and protect U.S. interests. Concerns about potential disasters, such as nuclear or dirty bomb attacks, and strategies to mitigate these risks. Assertions that Democrats may have been allied with hostile foreign actors, emphasizing the urgency of decisive action. The episode emphasizes the historic nature of these actions, framing them as a new chapter in American foreign policy where leadership, timing, and bold decisions shape global outcomes. Key Takeaways Trump and allies engaged with multiple Latin American nations to combat cartels and organized crime. Iran's leadership was targeted to neutralize imminent threats and prevent Democratic influence on hostile actors. U.S. military precision and coordination with international partners were central to the strategy. Cuban political change is anticipated as part of broader regional restructuring. Analysts highlight the unprecedented nature of U.S. actions in this era of history. The episode raises questions about the intersection of domestic politics and foreign policy in safeguarding national security.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John speaks with Eitan Diamond, a legal expert at the Humanitarian Law Center in Israel, about his journey and professional focus on human rights and international law. Their conversation spans Diamond's personal background as a South African Jew who moved to Israel during the apartheid era, reflecting on the complexity of that transition and his later career. They explore the critical intersection of human dignity, equality, and international humanitarian law, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the impact of settlements. Throughout the discussion, they critically examine the use of political and legal terminology, such as "apartheid" and "genocide," assessing their relevance and limitations in describing the realities on the ground, while emphasizing the importance of securing rights for vulnerable populations and the ongoing challenge of achieving a just, two-state political framework. https://en-law.tau.ac.il/profile/eitandiamond_65

Războiul din Iran continuă și presa internațională își pune tot mai insistent întrebări cu privire la planurile administrației Trump. Au avut ei în vedere toate consecințele unei asemenea operațiuni? După cum comentează The Wall Street Journal, ”Donald Trump a îmbrățișat intervenționismul total. Venezuela, Iran, Cuba... După ce a petrecut ani de zile denunțând intervențiile militare americane în străinătate, ocupantul Casei Albe pare să-și fi făcut o specialitate din răsturnarea, încolțirea sau asasinarea liderilor străini”. The Atlantic atenționează că ”planul israeliano-american privind înarmarea unei insurgențe kurde în Iran riscă să dea greș. Mulți iranieni și observatori se tem că milițiile etnice ar putea avea obiective teritoriale și separatiste, ceea ce ar duce Iranul pe calea dezintegrării sau a războiului civil”. Un război civil iranian ”nu este în interesul Americii”, titrează Foreign Policy. ”Israelul ar putea saluta haosul produs de prăbușirea regimului. Statele Unite și aliații săi, nu. Citeste siAdunarea Experţilor a ales noul lider suprem al Iranului. Numele său nu a fost anunţat Președintele a lansat acest război îndemnând poporul iranian să răstoarne guvernul. Poate că a presupus că regimul se va prăbuși instantaneu. Dar când nu s-a întâmplat, într-o zi sau două, și-a schimbat discursul. A început să mediteze la relațiile cu potențialii lideri din cadrul regimului și să laude intervenția SUA în Venezuela ca model perfect de urmat”. ”Confruntată cu tendințele agresive ale lui Trump, Europa trebuie să se echipeze pentru a exercita influență asupra lumii”, scrie Le Monde:   ”Trebuie să luăm în serios ce spune Trump: este gata să facă înțelegeri cu fiecare mullah și chavist de pe planetă, cu condiția ca firmele americane să pună mâna pe bogățiile Iranului sau Venezuelei. Același lucru este valabil și pentru mineralele din Groenlanda, Ucraina sau Rusia. Afacerile sunt afaceri, iar Trump intenționează să folosească forța pentru a face afaceri profitabile oriunde se găsesc, cu mâna pe armă, la fel ca puterile coloniale europene din trecut”.   The Conversation avertizează că dacă războiul va închide Strâmtoarea Ormuz, cel mai important punct de blocare a petrolului din lume, ar putea urma un haos economic global. ”Zona este una cheie pentru petroliere și transportoare de gaze naturale lichefiate, astfel încât perturbările afectează direct aprovizionarea globală cu energie. În plus, o dependență mai puțin cunoscută este aceea că o treime din comerțul mondial cu îngrășăminte trece prin strâmtoare. Atât lanțurile de aprovizionare cu energie, cât și cele agricole au fost deja destabilizate de războiul din Ucraina. Creșteri suplimentare ale prețurilor ar putea avea consecințe de amploare”. Unde se va ajunge?- se întreabă La Stampa: ”Mulți așteaptă cu o convingere aproape mesianică marea revoltă populară iraniană care va răsturna în cele din urmă regimul după decenii de opresiune. Dar există scenariul de care este îngrijorată întreaga lume: o escaladare necontrolată care va atrage noi armate în luptă pentru a transforma un conflict regional în ceva mult mai amplu.” (Sursa: Eurotopics)

Iranians across their own country, in the United States and across the world have been celebrating the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes continue. Iranians were first in disbelief but now they dare to dream their country will be free from the brutal Muslim regime of the Ayatollah. Many Iranians who's families fled in the 1970's remember an Iran, in the heart of the Middle East but with Western ideas of promoting individual liberty, democratic governance, and self-rule. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Nazee Moinian, associate fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. and author of the book, "Narratives of Grievance in Iran's Foreign Policy," who shares her family's story and explains why Iranians are so grateful to the United States and Israel for this military action against tyranny.

On February 28, both the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation's Supreme Leader, along with other political leaders and government officials, destroying various military targets, and bombing a girls elementary school that took at least 175 lives, many of them children. Just under a week into the war, where are we? Why did Trump decide to attack Iran now? What reasons did they give, and were any of them plausible? What have the consequences been so far? And what can Democrats do to fight back? To answer these questions, we had on Matt Duss, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy and a former foreign policy adviser to Bernie Sanders. Other topics include: Michael Ledeen and the right's fixation on Iran; Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and the Iranian hostage crisis, and more.  Sources: Matthew Duss, "War With Iran Would Be Illegal and Stupid.

Peace through strength isn't just a slogan — it's a foundational principle of national defense. In today's episode, Todd Huff explains why military capability matters and how recent developments involving Iran illustrate the reality behind deterrence. From advanced missile technology and intelligence operations to the broader role of American military power, Todd breaks down why weakness invites aggression and why strength preserves peace.Todd also discusses the destabilization of Iran's regime following the reported killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the debate over U.S. involvement in choosing Iran's next leader, and the importance of maintaining overwhelming military capability in an increasingly dangerous world.

The former EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said "it's hard to see how we get back to diplomacy" with Iran as the war continues. Ashton, who was a key negotiator in Iran's last nuclear deal, added that she believes European countries will come to a consensus on the conflict. She spoke to Stephen Carroll and Lizzy Burden on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. Senate voted 53–47 to reject a resolution that would have limited President Trump's authority in the conflict with Iran, effectively giving the administration the green light to continue military operations. Todd Huff explains why this vote proves the constitutional system is working exactly as designed, despite media claims of a “constitutional crisis.”Todd also breaks down new military developments, Iran's reported attempt to negotiate, and why negotiations may not be possible until the conflict is decisively resolved. Plus, a deeper discussion about leadership — why intelligence alone isn't enough and why decisive character is the trait that ultimately determines whether leaders act when it matters most.

The UK prime minister has defended his stance on the war in the Middle East amid growing pressure from Cyprus, Bahrain and the UAE.

On Saturday, after a third round of failed negotiation with the aspiring nuclear state of Iran, the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation called Epic Fury. Those strikes were successful in eliminating the majority of Iranian Senior leadership, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. War is never a decision to be taken lightly, as lives and nations hang in the balance. I sat down with Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy here at Heritage, to talk about what has led up to this conflict in Iran and what she hopes to see going forward. --- Thoughts?

Both President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressing disappointment that some traditional U.S. allies are pushing back on the use of force against Iran while Washington presses forward with its campaign against the terror state. The criticism reflects growing frustration inside the administration that while some European capitals have issued statements of support, operational backing has not matched the rhetoric, raising fresh questions about NATO cohesion at a moment of escalation. Spain refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, and Turkey has also criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and author of 'The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel―and America―Can Win,' who says the lack of support by longtime allies is surprising, and it could have a large effect on the balance power in the world.

We tend to think of populist leaders around the world as disruptive—skeptical of international institutions, impatient for change, and prone to upending foreign policy norms.But a new book by scholars Sandra Destradi and Johannes Plagemann argues that—while populists can have dramatic impacts on foreign policy—the extent of change depends on two key factors: the personalization of foreign policy and leaders' ability to use foreign policy as a tool of domestic political mobilization.The book is called Populism and Foreign Policy, and it looks at transitions from non-populist to populist governments in Bolivia, the Philippines, Turkey, and India. To talk more about the book's findings—especially as they relate to Indian foreign policy—Sandra Destradi joins Milan on the show this week. Sandra holds the Chair of International Relations at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and she is currently serving as a DAAD long- term Guest Professor at Reichman University in Herzliya, Israel. She is the author of several articles and books on India, including the 2012 book, Indian Foreign and Security Policy in South Asia: Regional Power Strategies.Milan and Sandra discuss the definitional debates around populism, the conditional effects of populism on foreign policy, and the reasons for the Modi government's differential approach to Pakistan and China. Plus, the two discuss why populists might express an enhanced willingness to contribute to global public goods, the limited opportunities for mobilization against multilateral institutions, and the differences between populists in the Global North versus the Global South.Episode notes:1.     “Populism, South Asian Style (with Adnan Naseemullah and Pradeep Chhibber),” Grand Tamasha, December 18, 2024.2.     Johannes Plagemann and Sandra Destradi, “Populism and Foreign Policy: The Case of India,” Foreign Policy Analysis 15, no. 2 (April 2019): 283–301. 3.     Sandra Destradi, “Domestic Politics and Regional Hegemony: India's Approach to Sri Lanka,” E-International Relations, January 14, 2014.

We begin our newest season, all about women on the frontlines of the climate crisis, with Christiana Figueres. She served as the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2015, Figueres led the process that secured the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change, where 195 nations agreed to limit future global warming.  Currently, Christiana Figueres leads a nonprofit called Global Optimism, which she launched with her fellow Paris negotiator Tom Rivett-Carnac. They also wrote a book together, The Future We Choose, and they have a great podcast with Paul Dickinson called Outrage + Optimism, where they get to be undiplomatic about the climate crisis.  Host Zainab Salbi, also co-founder of Daughters for Earth, talks to Figueres about the current state of the climate movement. Where does Figueres think we should focus our energy at this difficult moment? And how does she reflect on the Paris Climate Agreement, a decade later?  The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported this season by Daughters for Earth.

Both President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressing disappointment that some traditional U.S. allies are pushing back on the use of force against Iran while Washington presses forward with its campaign against the terror state. The criticism reflects growing frustration inside the administration that while some European capitals have issued statements of support, operational backing has not matched the rhetoric, raising fresh questions about NATO cohesion at a moment of escalation. Spain refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, and Turkey has also criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and author of 'The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel―and America―Can Win,' who says the lack of support by longtime allies is surprising, and it could have a large effect on the balance power in the world.

47 years. That is how long the U.S. and Iran have been circling each other, probing for weaknesses, and demonizing the other (in many cases for good reason). Tensions reached a tipping point on February 28, 2026 and the United States, along with Israel, initiated a new wave of strikes which has lead to chaos across the Middle East. 11 countries have been targeted by retaliatory strikes from Iran and the death toll on all sides continues to rise. How did we get here? Why was now the time to act? Where does it all end and what decisions will shape the final outcome of this latest use of military force? In this month's episode, we speak with Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, where he focuses on Iran. We review the terse relationship between these two countries since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and outline the litany of moments that have shaped the course of history. In addition, the conversation outlines how this war got started and what shape it has taken in the early days, providing key insights into possible outcomes. While much is left to be written in this story, the key moments have been set in motion. Listen to gain critical insights into this fast moving and ever changing conflict that will reverberate across the world for years to come.(Please note: This episode was recorded on February 27, one day before U.S. and Israeli airstrikes started. We have tried to capture the latest updates to the fighting, but understand this conflict has shifted rapidly in the first few days).Alex Vatanka is a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute. He specializes in Middle Eastern regional security affairs with a particular focus on Iran. He was formerly a Senior Analyst at Jane's Information Group in London. Alex is also a Senior Fellow in Middle East Studies at the US Air Force Special Operations School (USAFSOS) at Hurlburt Field and teaches as an Adjunct Professor at DISAS at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

He received his PhD in Middle East and U.S. diplomatic history from the University of Michigan in 1977. Between 1978 and 2003, Miller served at the State Department as an historian, analyst, negotiator, and advisor to Republican and Democratic secretaries of state, where he helped formulate U.S. policy on the Middle East and the Arab-Israel peace process, most recently as the senior advisor for Arab-Israeli negotiations. He also served as the deputy special Middle East coordinator for Arab-Israeli negotiations, senior member of the State Department's policy planning staff, in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and in the office of the historian.

Bill is a trusted friend and source for me who I met after he listened and became a regular and highly respected caller of my siriusxm radio show. Bill is a voracious reader and listeners love to hear his take. I think his analysis is as sharp as anyone you will hear on radio or TV and he has well placed friends across the federal government who are always talking to him. As far as I can tell he is not in the CIA. Follow him on Blue Sky and park at his garages.    

President Trump still hasn't told the American people why he's bombing Iran, the U.S. and Israel have sent mixed messages about whether the goal is regime change, and Secretary Hegseth boasted that the military will disregard customary rules of engagement during this campaign. Brett McGurk, CNN national security analyst and former Middle East advisor to four presidents, warns in this EXTENDED conversation that President Trump has entered into a war without communicating clear objectives and a clear plan on how to achieve them. Tony-winner Daniel Radcliffe explains that while his new Broadway show “Every Brilliant Thing” is technically a one-man-show, the high level of audience participation ensures that he's not acting alone every night.

Foreign Policy

Hawk breaks down the full arc of US-Iran relations, from the cordial diplomatic ties of the 1720s all the way to the current war that Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly admitted was triggered by Israel. Starting with Persia's constitutional revolution, American economic advisors in the 1920s, and the cordial relations that held through World War II, the story takes a sharp turn in 1953 when the CIA and British intelligence MI6 orchestrated a coup overthrowing Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh, who had nationalized the country's oil industry. The US then reinstalled the Shah of Iran and helped build his brutal secret police force SAVAK, and in a stunning irony, it was President Dwight D. Eisenhower who launched Iran's nuclear program and provided the country's first nuclear reactor and enriched uranium in 1967. The 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, the 444-day hostage crisis, the Iran-Iraq War, Reagan's support for Saddam Hussein, Hezbollah, the Iran-Contra affair, the JCPOA under Obama, Trump pulling out of the nuclear deal, and the killing of General Qassem Soleimani all connect in a straight line to the current US-Iran war. Marco Rubio told congressional leaders that the US entered the war preemptively because Israel was going to attack Iran, and Iran would have retaliated against American forces. Rubio's admission drew reaction from Congressman Joaquin Castro and even conservative commentator Matt Walsh, who called it the worst possible thing Rubio could have said. Six US service members are dead. Hawk also shares a personal story about Sean Penn, Lars Ulrich of Metallica, and a surreal afternoon in San Francisco tied directly to Iran's 2005 presidential election.

Did President Trump have the constitutional authority to strike Iran? Today on The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down the War Powers Resolution, Congress's power to declare war, and the president's role as commander in chief. Drawing on history—from Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates to modern AUMFs—Todd explains why precedent is firmly on the president's side. He also responds to critics claiming the strike was “too quick,” arguing this conflict has been brewing for decades. If you want a clear constitutional framework—not media spin—on executive war powers and Iran, this episode is for you.

'Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel has not only dominated domestic headlines but also gained sharp attention in international circles. The timing is significant. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently urged the formation of a new regional bloc, describing the Middle East as divided between “radical Sunni and Shia axes”.'

Well, it happened. President Donald Trump authorized a strike on Iran, even bigger than the last one. We'll go over everything we know so far. Is it World War III? Are we all doomed? Also, Shia LeBeouf was arrested in New Orleans. He sat down for an interview about it, and things got interesting.

Foreign Policy

America and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, and while the world watches the fallout of "Epic Fury," we’re looking at what comes next. Our Amelia Lester, also an editor at Foreign Policy, is here to explain why the US acted without Congress, why Australia is one of the few Western voices in support, and whether this is the kind of international meddling Donald Trump promised to avoid? Plus, Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jnr’s Love Story has triggered a wave of nostalgia for those who lived through the 90s, and 'fauxstalgia' for those who like to imagine a world that didn't involve an endless scroll. Clare Stephens wants to know what life was like when we lived with two hands, and not with one constantly on our phones. And, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been snubbed, finding themselves uninvited from a major royal event. So are they being punished for the sins of their parents, or, Holly Wainwright wants to know, is this the beginning of William’s royal trim down?

Silicon Bites Ep294 | 2026-03-01 | Russia is the best ally, until things get real, and a response is requested. Is Putin ‘ghosting' the Iranian regime, and reneging on mutual security commitments? What is the value of an alliances when one side weasels out in the moment of dire need? And are the U.S. and Russia vying to see who can be the very worst of allies within their circle of ‘partners'? Russia seeming to dump Iran also brings up the question of whether security guarantees mean anything at all in this post-truth, post-order world. Geopolitics is purely transactional, and it seems that all alliances are contingent – no commitments solid or binding. Ukraine should also take note – that agreements and treaties mean nothing to Russia, and perhaps the U.S. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters on Putin's response and absence of mutual defence clause (March 1, 2026).
