We hear from a former Lebanese health minister in Beirut and ask a former senior Israeli army officer about his country's aims. Also in the programme: anger and delight in African football after its governing body strips Senegal of the Africa Cup of Nations title and hands it to Morocco; and what is "Muskism" and how does understanding Elon Musk's approach to business help us understand the Trump Administration, and our changing world?

CEO of Jewish News Syndicate Alex Traiman calls in live from Israel to describe Israel under sustained attack, with Iran firing ballistic missiles multiple times a day, including cluster munitions aimed at civilian population centers, alongside rocket fire from Hezbollah; he recounts repeated trips to shelters in Jerusalem, with heavier bombardment in Tel Aviv and Haifa. He explains Israel's alert and missile-defense systems, schools moving to Zoom for 19 days, and daily life continuing despite sirens. Traiman argues most Israelis accept short-term hardship to decisively neutralize Iran's threat, especially its nuclear ambitions, and to enable long-term regional peace.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Protests, missiles, and a regime on the ropes — Iran is at a turning point. Ryan McBeth explains the forces driving one of the world's most complex crises.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1297On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Iran is an ancient civilization stretching back 5,000 years — but most Americans only know the post-1979 version, which is like judging Rome entirely by the fall of its empire and missing the aqueducts, art, and architecture that came before.The 1953 CIA-backed coup that toppled Iran's democratically elected government planted the seeds for the 1979 Islamic Revolution — a theocratic regime that crushed dissent, built a proxy empire through Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and turned the IRGC into its enforcer.Iran's proxy strategy is devastatingly cheap and effective — rather than build a navy, they fund groups like the Houthis to launch missiles based on Iranian targeting intel, giving Tehran plausible deniability while disrupting global shipping and oil markets.AI-generated war footage and disinformation are rapidly becoming a frontline weapon — fake videos of captured soldiers and fabricated attacks spread faster than fact-checkers can respond, and producing convincing deepfakes now costs as little as $12 per video.Despite decades of repression, Iranian citizens continue to protest and push for change — and experts suggest that if the regime falls, Iran's strong collective national identity makes a Libya-style collapse unlikely, offering real hope for a democratic future.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.

Hezbollah is isolated and fighting for its life. This, according to Nitzan Nuriel, a reserve brigadier general and former head of the counter terrorism bureau. Speaking to reporter Arieh O’Sullivan, Nuriel said that Israel could make sure that Hezbollah was no longer a military player in the region, but it would take time.

Chris Cuomo travels to Israel's border with Lebanon to show why the northern front may matter as much as anything happening inside Iran.From kibbutzim turned into fortified communities to schools outfitted with bulletproof glass, Cuomo documents how life has changed in northern Israel as Hezbollah attacks continue and the conflict expands beyond airstrikes and political messaging. He speaks with residents and local leaders about what it means to live within seconds of incoming fire, the fear of infiltration, and the reality of raising children in what has become an active war zone.Cuomo also explains why Lebanon is central to understanding where this war goes next. As Hezbollah escalates and the IDF deepens its campaign in southern Lebanon, the conflict is no longer just about Iran from above — it is also about what happens on the ground along Israel's northern border, and how long that fight may last.

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.

Immigration used to be the U.S.' great strength but now that's changing.  What's new is illegal immigrants and naturalized citizens, who hate America but don't want to leave, are going around and violently killing Americans, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “But how did we create it where we're getting people killing us and yelling Islamic sloganeering and championing Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran at the same time we're at war with them?… The answer is: Dr. Frankenstein created the Frankensteinian monster.” (00:00) Immigrants as Strength (00:39) The Ungrateful Immigrant (02:34) Recent Attacks and Radicalism (04:23) Why Assimilation Fails (08:06) Frankenstein of Immigration

Le 28 février, Israël et les États-Unis déclenchent une guerre contre l'Iran. Rapidement, le conflit s'étend au Moyen-Orient et gagne notamment le Liban. Depuis le 2 mars, les frappes sur le pays ont tué 886 personnes selon les autorités libanaises, et plus d'un million de libanais ont été déplacés.Ce n'est pas l'armée régulière libanaise qui entre en guerre mais la milice du Hezbollah, un parti politique ainsi qu'une force paramilitaire puissante, implanté dans le pays depuis les années 1980. Ce nouveau conflit avec Israël ravive les tensions entre les différentes communautés du Liban, alors que le pays est déjà morcelé et frappé par une série de crises économiques et politiques ces dernières années.

C dans l'air du 17 mars 2026 - Ormuz : Trump met la pression, Macron dit non Au dix-huitième jour du conflit déclenché par Israël et les États-Unis, Téhéran subit des frappes intenses tandis que les combats s'étendent au Liban, en Irak et dans le Golfe. Surpris par la riposte iranienne, le président des États-Unis fait pression sur ses alliés et sur la Chine pour qu'ils assurent la sécurité de la navigation des pétroliers dans le détroit d'Ormuz. « S'il n'y a pas de réponse [à la requête américaine], ou si celle-ci est négative, je pense que cela aura des conséquences très mauvaises pour l'avenir de l'OTAN », a même menacé lundi Donald Trump dans une interview au Financial Times.Il a par ailleurs admis ne pas s'attendre à la réponse iranienne à l'attaque du 28 février, en particulier aux frappes sur les pays du Golfe. « Personne ne s'y attendait. Nous avons été choqués », a-t-il affirmé. « Les plus grands experts, personne ne pensait qu'ils allaient frapper » dans le Golfe. « C'étaient, je ne dirais pas des pays amis, […] plutôt des pays neutres ».Un cinquième du pétrole brut et du gaz naturel liquéfié mondiaux transitent habituellement par le détroit d'Ormuz. Le président américain espérait notamment l'aide des pays de l'OTAN et d'Asie pour débloquer ce passage stratégique et le sécuriser. Mais en Europe, l'Allemagne et la Grande-Bretagne excluent une opération de l'Alliance atlantique. Emmanuel Macron a rappelé que « la France n'a pas choisi cette guerre, nous n'y prendrons pas part ». Le Japon et l'Australie, alliés historiques des États-Unis, ont eux aussi écarté l'envoi de navires de guerre.Parallèlement, l'armée israélienne a lancé des « opérations terrestres » contre le Hezbollah dans le sud du Liban et a affirmé avoir porté un « coup significatif » au régime des mollahs avec l'élimination, lundi soir près de Téhéran, d'Ali Larijani, considéré comme l'homme « qui dirigeait de facto l'ensemble du régime iranien ». L'Iran, qui n'a pas confirmé sa mort, a déclenché une nouvelle vague d'attaques contre Israël, lançant notamment des missiles Sejil sur le territoire israélien. Jusqu'ici rarement utilisé en situation réelle, que signifie l'entrée en scène de ce missile balistique iranien, capable de percer le dôme de fer israélien, de parcourir près de 2 000 kilomètres et, donc, d'atteindre potentiellement l'Europe ou les bases américaines au Moyen-Orient ?Depuis le déclenchement des frappes israélo-américaines, l'Iran a engagé une riposte balistique d'ampleur. Mais le régime a-t-il l'armement nécessaire pour une guerre qui dure ? Que sait-on de ses capacités militaires ? Joseph Kent, directeur du Centre national de lutte contre le terrorisme aux États-Unis, a annoncé ce mardi sa démission en raison de la guerre contre l'Iran, affirmant dans une lettre à Donald Trump diffusée sur X que « l'Iran ne représentait aucune menace imminente » pour les États-Unis. Quelle est la stratégie de l'administration Trump ? Et que se passe-t-il au Liban ?

Israel says it has killed two top Iranian leaders in airstrikes, dealing another blow to Iran's remaining leadership. One of the men was believed to be directing the current war effort, and these deaths come after Israel killed Iran's supreme leader on the first day of the war. We hear more about who was killed and what this might mean for Iran.And over a million Lebanese have been displaced since Israel intensified its campaign against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. We meet some of the displaced.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Even as hostilities with Hezbollah intensify, Iran remains the primary front, according to Brigadier-General (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security and a former head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence. Kuperwasser spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal about recent developments. (Photo: Israeli military vehicles in southern Lebanon. Reuters) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israeli forces continue to push further into southern Lebanon, in what the IDF says is their goal to expand the "forward defense area" in order to decimate the terror group Hezbollah. Hezbollah, in coordinated attacks with Iran, have launched hundreds of missiles into residential areas of Israel. Meanwhile, top Iranian official Ali Larijani was killed in an Israeli strike, according to an Israeli battle damage assessment. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Dr. Jonathan Schanzer, the executive director at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who says Hezbollah won't be fully defeated until their Iranian sponsors are handled with first.

With the world's attention on the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, a second front in the conflict has opened in Lebanon. Israel has pummeled an area in the southern outskirts of Beirut where Hezbollah holds sway, as well as southern Lebanon, with airstrikes, displacing almost one million people. Israel has also expanded its assault into other parts of Beirut, the capital. Christina Goldbaum, The New York Times's bureau chief in Beirut, explains how the crisis in Lebanon connects to the broader war, what Israel hopes to achieve and what people in Lebanon fear might come next.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — the fight for the Strait of Hormuz continues. The White House is working to assemble what officials are calling a “Hormuz Coalition,” a multinational naval force aimed at reopening the critical oil chokepoint after Iran disrupted global shipping through the strait. But with many nations hesitant to commit warships, the big question remains: who is actually willing to join? Later in the show — Israel launches ground operations in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military says its forces have begun targeted operations near the strategic border town of Khiam as clashes with Hezbollah intensify along Israel's northern frontier.

While the world focuses on Trump and Iran, Israel is quietly fighting a multi-front war across the Middle East. Tara explains how Israeli operations against Hezbollah, Iranian proxies, and nuclear scientists are preventing a regional explosion—and why their actions are allowing the U.S. to focus on dismantling Iran's core military and energy infrastructure. From intelligence operations to potential U.S. Marines securing Carg Island, this episode breaks down the real strategy unfolding behind the headlines and why this moment could reshape global power, energy markets, and America's role as the world's dominant superpower. SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara highlights the crucial role Israel is playing in the broader conflict with Iran—an effort largely overlooked in media coverage. As U.S. forces strike Iranian infrastructure, Israel is simultaneously engaging Iranian proxies across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups funded by Tehran. Tara explains that without Israel absorbing much of the proxy conflict, the United States could already be fighting wars across multiple countries. Israeli intelligence operations, powered by the renowned Mossad network, have targeted Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, and regime operatives while drones hunt down regime shock troops block by block. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the strategic objective of Carg Island, the hub of Iran's oil export infrastructure. Military analysts suggest a limited deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines could secure the island—effectively collapsing Iran's economic lifeline by cutting off most of its oil exports. Tara warns that while the U.S. and its allies cannot lose militarily, the greatest threat is the court of public opinion. Any American casualties could become a political flashpoint exploited by critics to halt operations before the regime is fully dismantled. Finally, she explores the global implications: weakening China's access to discounted Iranian oil, shifting alliances in the Middle East, pressure on Russia and Europe, unrest in authoritarian states like Cuba and Venezuela, and a potential turning point that could restore America as the undisputed global superpower. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel fighting Iran's proxy forces across multiple countries Hezbollah strikes and potential Israeli ground operations in Lebanon Mossad intelligence enabling targeted strikes on Iranian leadership Iranian nuclear scientists eliminated to prevent proliferation Drone warfare targeting regime shock troops inside Iran Strategic importance of Carg Island to Iran's oil exports Possible deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines to secure the island Economic collapse risk for Iran if oil distribution is cut off China's weakening influence and internal political purges Global ripple effects: Middle East alliances, Russia, NATO, and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB While the world watches Iran, Israel is fighting the war nobody's talking about.

From the Middle East to global energy markets, Tara breaks down the strategic moves reshaping the world. Learn how Israel and the U.S. are countering Iran, the risks for Marines on the ground, the geopolitical ripple effects on Russia, China, and Venezuela, and why Democrats are panicking over Trump's energy moves. Plus, get insights on flu and COVID vaccines and what the CDC isn't emphasizing. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara dives deep into international conflict, energy policy, and public health: Middle East & Iran War: The new Iranian leadership has not been publicly seen—proof of life remains unverified. Israel plays a pivotal role in countering Iran and Hezbollah, carrying out strikes, intelligence operations, and targeted removals of Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. ground operations may be deployed in key strategic areas like the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to cripple Iran's oil economy. The broader regional impact spans 12 countries, influencing alliances with Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Energy & Oil Policy: Trump's moves to lift certain Russian oil sanctions are set to drop global oil prices, reversing Democrat-inflated energy costs caused by prior sanctions. These shifts have major implications for U.S. households, global oil markets, and geopolitical power, including China's economic positioning and Russia's oil influence. Public Health Spotlight: Flu vaccines: 200–250 reported deaths annually, possibly up to 1,000 due to underreporting; CDC reports vaccine effectiveness as low as 25% and often readjusted downward over time. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare but dangerous blood clots, with media coverage downplaying the risks. Tara emphasizes informed consent and questioning medical advice. Domestic Security & Policy: Highlights recent terror-related incidents in the U.S., including attacks linked to Hezbollah and ISIS, and how failures in immigration and gun law enforcement contributed. Straw purchasing and federal gun enforcement policies under Biden are analyzed as contributing factors to domestic security vulnerabilities. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's intelligence and military operations against Iran and Hezbollah Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations Trump's energy policy and lifting of Russian oil sanctions Impact on global oil prices, Russia, China, India, and NATO CDC data on flu and COVID vaccine effectiveness and risks Domestic terror threats, immigration policy failures, and gun enforcement issues SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB From Iran to oil markets, Israel to U.S. Marines, Tara exposes the strategies reshaping the world

Tara breaks down today's top stories: Israel's covert and overt operations against Iran, the strategic moves reshaping oil markets, domestic security failures, and what you're not being told about flu and COVID vaccines. From geopolitics to public health, this episode exposes the untold connections influencing your world. SUMMARY Middle East & Iran Conflict: Iran's new leadership remains unseen publicly; proof of life is still demanded by many. Israel is leading covert operations, striking Hezbollah targets across Lebanon and taking out key Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. forces may be deployed in strategic zones, like the Strait of Hormuz, to control oil flow and pressure Iran economically. Regional conflict impacts 12+ countries, influencing Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Israel's intelligence and military actions prevent a broader escalation and protect U.S. strategic interests. Global Energy & Oil Markets: Trump's lifting of Russian oil sanctions threatens to dramatically lower global oil prices, reversing artificial inflation caused by prior sanctions. Lower oil prices impact U.S. households, the global economy, and geopolitical leverage, including pressure on China and Russia. Democrats are panicking over oil price drops and the potential shift in global energy control. Public Health Insights: Flu vaccines: CDC reports 20–25 deaths per year, potentially underreported by 10x, with effectiveness as low as 25%. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare blood clots; media coverage downplays risks and avoids full disclosure. Tara emphasizes informed consent, questioning medical guidance, and reviewing CDC data critically. Domestic Security & Policy Failures: Terror incidents in the U.S., including individuals with Hezbollah contacts, highlight gaps in immigration and gun enforcement policies. Straw purchasing loopholes and DOJ enforcement failures contributed to weapons ending up in criminal hands. Biden-era policies are analyzed as exacerbating domestic vulnerability to terrorist threats. Political Context & Strategy: U.S. global strategy is reshaping alliances, constraining Iran, and influencing energy flows. Trump's moves in energy, military readiness, and sanctions highlight contrasts with prior administration policies. Changes affect global power structures, including NATO, Russia, China, and Latin America, creating a pivotal historical inflection point. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's multi-front operations in Lebanon and Iran Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations in the Middle East Global oil markets and Russian sanctions reversal Vaccine safety, CDC reporting, and public awareness Domestic security, immigration, and gun enforcement failures Broader geopolitical effects on NATO, China, Russia, and Latin America SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Israel strikes, Iran tensions, global oil shocks

Protests, missiles, and a regime on the ropes — Iran is at a turning point. Ryan McBeth explains the forces driving one of the world's most complex crises.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1297On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Iran is an ancient civilization stretching back 5,000 years — but most Americans only know the post-1979 version, which is like judging Rome entirely by the fall of its empire and missing the aqueducts, art, and architecture that came before.The 1953 CIA-backed coup that toppled Iran's democratically elected government planted the seeds for the 1979 Islamic Revolution — a theocratic regime that crushed dissent, built a proxy empire through Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and turned the IRGC into its enforcer.Iran's proxy strategy is devastatingly cheap and effective — rather than build a navy, they fund groups like the Houthis to launch missiles based on Iranian targeting intel, giving Tehran plausible deniability while disrupting global shipping and oil markets.AI-generated war footage and disinformation are rapidly becoming a frontline weapon — fake videos of captured soldiers and fabricated attacks spread faster than fact-checkers can respond, and producing convincing deepfakes now costs as little as $12 per video.Despite decades of repression, Iranian citizens continue to protest and push for change — and experts suggest that if the regime falls, Iran's strong collective national identity makes a Libya-style collapse unlikely, offering real hope for a democratic future.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.

President Trump calls on other nations to send warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz which Iran has largely blocked, driving up global energy prices. Mr Trump has told a US television channel that while Tehran appears ready to make a deal to end the war, its "terms aren't good enough yet". The head of the United Nations calls for an end to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah as Israeli strikes continue in the Lebanese capital. Also: in Cuba, peaceful anti-government protesters turned violent as a Communist Party Office in the centre of the country was attacked; and we hear about the Razzies, the awards actors and film makers would much rather they hadn't won.

Israel struck central Beirut overnight and issued the first ever evacuation order for part of the capital, as Israel vows it will not stop until Hezbollah is defeated and nearly a million people are displaced in Lebanon alone.The FBI is investigating two separate attacks as acts of terrorism — an armed man drove a car into a Michigan synagogue, and a gunman with a prior ISIS conviction opened fire in a Virginia university classroom, killing one person.And the Senate passed the largest housing bill in decades with bipartisan support, including a ban on large corporations buying up single-family homes, but it faces an uncertain path with President Trump.**Correction: In a previous audio version of this episode we mistakenly stated that car that drove into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan was packed with explosives.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Hannah Block, Cheryl Corley, Julia Redpath, Kara Platoni, Mohamad ElBardicy and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Neisha Heinis.
