Today's guest is David McCloskey — former CIA analyst, bestselling author, and co-host of the hit podcast The Rest is Classified.Before becoming a novelist, David served at the Central Intelligence Agency where he wrote for the President's Daily Brief, testified before Congressional oversight committees, and briefed senior White House officials, ambassadors, and military leaders.  He spent years stationed across the Middle East during the Arab Spring and later worked in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center focused on the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.David's acclaimed thrillers — DAMASCUS STATION, MOSCOW X, THE SEVENTH FLOOR, and THE PERSIAN — have established him as one of the most authentic new voices in modern espionage fiction. Damascus Station was a finalist for the 2022 International Thriller Writer's Award for Best First Novel and is currently in development for television. His latest release, The Persian, takes readers deep into a shadow war in Iran and follows a dentist living in Sweden who builds an international front to conceal a covert operation.In this episode, Jack and David discuss the inspiration behind The Persian, the real-world dynamics of the intelligence community, and the meticulous craft of writing espionage fiction rooted in truth. They talk about the creation of The Rest is Classified — a top-charting podcast exploring untold spy stories, manhunts, and historical intrigue. David also shares insights into the writing process, balancing podcasting with novel deadlines, the surprising bureaucracy of the intelligence world — past and present — and a humorous story of running into Ben Affleck at Langley during research for Argo.His new novel, THE PERSIAN, is available now.FOLLOW DAVIDX: @mccloskeybooksInstagram: @mccloskeybooksFacebook: @mccloskeybooksWebsite: https://www.davidmccloskeybooks.com/ FOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X:  @JackCarrUSAFacebook:  @JackCarr YouTube:  @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - https://bravocompanyusa.com/ and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

SHOW 11-11-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1933 VON PAPPEN IN BERLIN THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE BBO CONTNUING INTACT. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Economic Slowdown Fears Amid AI Impact and the BBC Scandal. Liz Peek characterizes the US economy as slowing down, with hiring affected by government layoffs and the displacement of tech jobs due to AI adoption. While the consumer remains robust, significant anxiety exists regarding the massive investments in AI and resulting stock market valuations. Peek comments on the BBC scandal, viewing the resignations as acknowledgment that the state-run outlet deliberately spliced footage to portray the US President as exhorting violence, revealing a deep, unfavorable political bias against conservatives. 915-930 Economic Slowdown Fears Amid AI Impact and the BBC Scandal.

Jonathan Schanzer addresses the BBC's acknowledgment of breaching editorial guidelines over 1,500 times during the Gaza conflict. He confirms that Hamas has been decimated, operating as a spent, asymmetric urban force. Schanzer details the Trump administration's "Board of Peace" proposal for Gaza, stressing the need for a technocratic authority that excludes both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. He also highlights troubling reports that Hezbollah is rearming with increasing speed, assisted by Iran and, surprisingly, Turkey. 945-1000 Middle East War Dynamics: Hamas Decimation, Peace Plans, and Hezbollah Rearmament.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC. Mary Kissel details the challenges facing the State Department and NSC in implementing the Trump administration's urgent Gaza Peace Plan, noting staffing issues are delaying coordination. The plan, featuring an apolitical "Board of Peace," seeks international legitimacy despite the UN's prejudice against Israel. Kissel expresses little surprise regarding the BBC scandal, viewing the deliberate distortion of the President's video remarks as appalling and emblematic of an "embedded bias" against conservatives that is deep and unfixable. 1015-1030 Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC.

Judy Dempsey discusses the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, noting it is infiltrating German culture, education, and town halls, predominantly in the East. She warns that the AfD poses a danger to German democracy and the rule of law. The future hinges on whether established parties can isolate the AfD or if the Constitutional Court will intervene to outlaw the party. Dempsey also notes that the BBC scandal involves the highly scrutinized domestic service, distinct from the generally "exemplary" BBC World Service. 1045-1100 The Rise of the AfD and the Threat to German Democracy.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy. Gregory Copley analyzes China's rare earth monopoly, noting it was achieved through low pricing and unsafe practices but is now eroding as global suppliers ramp up production. He reviews current global conflicts, viewing the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group near Venezuela as a test of brinkmanship, and citing Kyiv's admission of losses in Ukraine. Copley also argues that democracy is "dead," advocating for a return to defining the spirit of a social contract rather than relying on mutable laws. 1115-1130 Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC. Joseph Sternberg argues that mainstream conservatives must accommodate legitimate right-wing concerns (like immigration) to squeeze out extremists, referencing the German CDU/CSU's successful historical tactic against neo-Nazis. He analyzes the widespread BBC scandal, noting its huge cultural influence in the UK, where it is funded by a mandatory license fee. The deliberate editing of the US President's remarks and allegations of tendentious coverage of the Israel/Gaza war point to a deep, structural problem within the organization. 1215-1230 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC.

Ivana Stradner warns that the UN cybercrime treaty, drafted by Russia and supported by China, undermines global human rights and free speech. She argues the treaty is mere "window dressing" enabling authoritarian regimes to pursue digital sovereignty—like Russia's "fake news" laws or China's "golden shield" project—to censor dissent. Stradner suggests that allowing Russia and China to regulate cyberspace is comparable to trusting the arsonist to put out the fire, urging the United States not to ratify the treaty. 1245-100 AM The Modern Marine Corps: MEUs, Amphibious Ship Shortages, and the Role in East Asia. Colonel Grant Newsham discusses the Marine Corps, celebrating its 250th birthday and historic legacy at Belleau Wood. Newsham describes the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) as a flexible force of about 2,000 Marines aboard amphibious ships, capable of missions from humanitarian aid to combat. A critical challenge is the Navy's low prioritization of amphibious ships, leading to a deployment shortage. In East Asia, Marines are expected to seize key terrain and use long-range precision weapons to control maritime territory, though prioritizing missile units has reduced overall mission versatility.

La mer Caspienne est un cas unique au monde : immense étendue d'eau fermée, elle est qualifiée de mer par son nom, mais de lac par sa géographie. Pourtant, d'un point de vue juridique international, elle n'est ni tout à fait l'un ni l'autre.Située entre la Russie, le Kazakhstan, le Turkménistan, l'Azerbaïdjan et l'Iran, la mer Caspienne est un bassin endoréique : elle n'a aucune communication naturelle avec les océans. Selon la géographie physique, c'est donc un lac salé, le plus grand du monde, avec une superficie de 370 000 km². Mais sa salinité (autour de 12 g/l) et son immense taille ont longtemps nourri l'ambiguïté : historiquement, les peuples riverains l'ont appelée “mer”, et les cartes l'ont toujours représentée ainsi.La vraie question, toutefois, est politico-juridique. Car si la Caspienne est une mer, elle relève du droit maritime international, notamment de la Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer (dite de Montego Bay, 1982). Dans ce cas, chaque pays riverain aurait une zone économique exclusive et un plateau continental, avec des droits d'exploitation sur le pétrole et le gaz situés dans sa partie. Si, en revanche, on la considère comme un lac, il faut la partager selon des règles spécifiques de droit interne entre États, par des accords bilatéraux ou multilatéraux.Pendant des décennies, cette ambiguïté a provoqué des tensions diplomatiques. L'effondrement de l'URSS en 1991 a tout compliqué : de deux États riverains (URSS et Iran), on est passé à cinq. Chacun voulait défendre sa part des immenses gisements d'hydrocarbures sous le fond caspien. L'enjeu était colossal.Après des années de négociations, un compromis a été trouvé en 2018 avec la Convention d'Aktau, signée par les cinq pays. Elle a établi un statut hybride :La mer Caspienne n'est ni un océan ni un lac au sens strict.Son eau de surface est partagée comme celle d'une mer, ouverte à la navigation commune.Mais son fond marin (où se trouvent les ressources) est divisé entre les États, comme pour un lac.Ainsi, la Caspienne bénéficie d'un régime juridique sui generis, c'est-à-dire unique en son genre. Ce statut permet à chacun des pays riverains d'exploiter ses ressources tout en maintenant une souveraineté partagée sur l'ensemble. En somme, la mer Caspienne est juridiquement… un peu des deux : une mer par son nom et ses usages, un lac par sa nature, et un compromis diplomatique par nécessité. Hébergé par Acast.

The future of the mullahs' regime in Tehran has become murky indeed after losing a war to Israel, having the US destroy its nuclear weapons development facilities, and now facing a severe water crisis. Author and human-rights advocate Dr. Ramesh Sepehrrad discusses all of these issues, as well as the upcoming Free Iran Convention in Washington DC on November 15th. She tells us of her experiences under both the Shah and Ruhollah Khomeini, and why the National Council of the Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is best positioned to ensure a smooth transition from the theocratic regime to a secular representative republic.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Chuck Schumer is officially persona non grata within the Democratic party. It is unclear whether the 7 Democrats and Angus King caved on the shut down at the behest of Schumer or in defiance of him but what is clear is his ineffectiveness as Senate Minority Leader. Former New York assemblyman and current primary challenger to Ritchie Torres for the 15-Congressional district of New York, Michael Blake joins the program to discuss his campaign. For more information on Michael's platform check out Michael Blake for Congress. Editor-in-chief of Balls and Strike, Jay Willis joins Sam to discuss the Supreme Court's case on the legality of Trump's tariffs. For more on this, check out Jay's piece in Balls and Strikes. In the Fun Half: Bernie Sanders has choice words for Angus King's claims that "standing up to Trump didn't work" Donald Trump promises to give air traffic controllers who kept working amidst the shut down a 10k bonus. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that bonus if I were an ATC. In the same interview Trump opines on turning healthcare into market-based accounts that will make people feel like entrepreneurs. Nothing takes the anxiety away from a health concern like having to negotiate a deal for your care. Patrick Bet-David and his crew react to Zohran Mamdani's proposal to enforce existing laws requiring slumlords to repair their buildings or risk having their properties seized by the city. Bill Maher and Cheryl Hines have a real deep conversation about Trump's hatred for war. Even though he has bombed Yemen and Iran, killed almost a 100 people in the Caribbean, threatened regime change in Venezuela, to annex Greenland and Canada, etc. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

Iran's Nuclear Stalemate, Economic Crisis, and Missile Program Aspirations. Jonathan Schanzer discusses how Iran views the lack of peace or war with Israel as a dangerous stalemate, while aspiring to fire 2,000 ballistic missiles at once in a future conflict. Covert Israeli operations target Iranian missile facilities. Despite sanctions, Iran's oil exports have sharply increased (2.3 million barrels/day) due to lax enforcement, funneling money to regime kleptocrats. Domestic crises like water and power shortages are increasing internal desperation, as the regime prioritizes regional ambitions over the welfare of the average Iranian.

PREVIEW. Hezbollah Rearming. Jonathan Schanzer reports troubling news that Hezbollah is rearming in Lebanon quicker than anticipated. The Syrian border is porous, allowing Iran to successfully move weapons faster than Israelis were aware of. The Israelis are taking coordinated strikes in response to this intelligence. 1836 BEIRUT

SHOW 11-10-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1910 gaza THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE GAZA "BOARD OF PEACE." FIRST HOUR 9-915 Analysis of the Trump Administration's "Take It or Leave It" Gaza Peace Plan. Bill Roggio and Ambassador Husain Haqqani discuss how the Trump administration proposed a "take it or leave it" Gaza victory plan, including a Board of Peace, international financing, and security. Ambassador Haqqani found the plan vague and a "fantasy," failing to address ground realities like disarming Hamas or the IDF's withdrawal. Bill Roggio insisted that peace is impossible under Hamas, whose charter demands Israel's removal. The vagueness makes it unclear how regional capitals like Cairo and Doha will respond, potentially allowing turmoil to continue. 915-930 Analysis of the Trump Administration's "Take It or Leave It" Gaza Peace Plan.

The vagueness makes it unclear how regional capitals like Cairo and Doha will respond, potentially allowing turmoil to continue. 930-945 Hezbollah's Rearmament and Israeli Active Defense Strategy in Lebanon and Gaza Peace Plan. David Daoud discusses how since the Gaza ceasefire, Hezbollah has been rearming, which the deal did not preclude. Israel shifted to "active defense," striking Hezbollah personnel and assets north and south of the Litani River, including in the Beqaa Valley, making no place in Lebanon off-limits. Hezbollah funds its operations through illicit transnational and internal economic channels. The US plan for Gaza aims for international engagement to preclude Hamas's resurgence, potentially relying on an international force and Israeli assistance. 945-1000 Hezbollah's Rearmament and Israeli Active Defense Strategy in Lebanon and Gaza Peace Plan.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Geopolitical Shifts: Gaza Peace, Syria's al-Sharaa, and REising Anti-Semitism. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses how the comprehensive US plan for Gaza proposes a transitional Board of Peace and mandates the disarming of Hamas. Hoenlein expressed skepticism regarding al-Sharaa's White House visit, noting his background as an ex-jihadist who ordered massacres of minorities in Syria. While neutralizing Syria would be positive, al-Sharaa has yet to prove himself. There is also rising concern over anti-Semitism in Europe, evidenced by attacks on Israeli sports teams and polls showing sympathy for Hamas. 1015-1030 Geopolitical Shifts: Gaza Peace, Syria's al-Sharaa, and Rising Anti-Semitism.

Steve Yates discusses how Europe's reliability in defending Taiwan is questioned, despite the Taiwan Vice President addressing the EU Parliament. Europe has historically lacked a significant defense footprint in East Asia. China exploits the narrative of European colonial history and decline to separate Europe from Taiwan. Although some European leaders prioritize economic opportunity with Beijing, reliable economic partners like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan offer strong strategic and economic ballast against the risks posed by the People's Republic of China. 1045-1100 China's Censorship Campaign Against Pessimism and Social Discontent. Charles Burton discusses how China initiated a two-month campaign against "pessimism," targeting citizens who criticize the state due to economic failure, unfair housing, or joblessness. The regime ignores serious societal issues, relying on propaganda while profound discontent exists privately. Censorship is counterproductive, leading to false reporting and increasing internal cynicism toward the leadership. With official news censored, people rely on fast-running rumors, which the government attempts to deal with by arresting activists and rumor-mongers. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Russia's Winter Strikes on Ukrainian Energy and the Battle for Pokrovsk. John Hardie discusses how Russia is escalating its winter campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure using a higher percentage of hard-to-intercept ballistic missiles and drones. This aims to break Ukrainian will and create leverage for negotiations. On the front, the battle for Pokrovsk is difficult, with Russians infiltrating the city and disrupting logistics using fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones. Although Ukraine has succeeded in attriting Russian forces there, preserving manpower by avoiding a late withdrawal remains a critical concern. 1115-1130 Russia's Winter Strikes on Ukrainian Energy and the Battle for Pokrovsk.

Edmund Fitton-Brown discusses how the proposed Gaza "Board of Peace" is part of the Trump plan to create active international engagement and prevent a return to Hamas control. The international stabilization force must have "real teeth" to fight subversive elements, unlike the failed UNIFIL mission. Regarding al-Sharaa, the self-named Syrian president and ex-al-Qaeda veteran, the White House visit gives him a chance to stabilize Syria. However, he must be pressured to investigate massacres of Druze and Alawites and hold people accountable (trust but verify). 1145-1200 Assessing al-Sharaa's Visit and the Risks of the Gaza Board of Peace Proposal.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Discussion of al-Sharaa's White House Visit, Syrian Sanctions, and Domestic Stability Issues. Ahmad Sharawi discusses how al-Sharaa (formerly al-Jolani), the self-named president of Syria and former al-Qaeda leader, visited the White House seeking the repeal of Caesar sanctions. The administration hopes he can stabilize Syria, ignoring his history of massacres against minorities like the Alawites and Druze. Critics argue he must address internal stability and remove foreign fighters first, as he is being rewarded for actions already serving his self-interest, such as fighting ISIS and limiting Iran's influence. 1215-1230 Discussion of al-Sharaa's White House Visit, Syrian Sanctions, and Domestic Stability Issues.

Ernesto Araújo discusses how indigenous leaders at COP 30 highlighted demands tied to environmental issues in the Amazon, which spans many countries. Poverty drives illegal activities, like logging and mining, even on indigenous lands (14% of Brazilian territory), which are often exploited through bribery and organized crime. While Lula speaks of protecting the Amazon, deforestation and indigenous health figures remain poor. The complex solution requires enforcing existing laws and focusing on establishing law and order to fight pervasive corruption. 1245-100 AM Iran's Nuclear Stalemate, Economic Crisis, and Missile Program Aspirations.

Indian officials say at least twelve people have now died in Monday's car explosion in Delhi. Reports in the Indian media say that investigators suspect a Delhi-based Kashmiri doctor was in the driver's seat. There's also been an explosion near a crowded courthouse in neighbouring Pakistan today.Also in the programme: voting is underway in Iraq to choose a new parliament as both Iran and the US vie for influence; the new research that suggests that speaking more than one language could delay the ageing process; and we speak to this year's Booker Prize winner.

Unexpected stories from across America surface, ranging from heartfelt reunions with the Church to urgent advice for end-of-life sacraments. Personal, unscripted, and intensely real moments populate each call. Pat - Can we talk about the movie called 'Not Without My Daughter'. Gives you an inside look into what being a Muslim is like in Iran. (00:36) Mike - My local parish priest is ending Mass with the St. Michael Prayer at our parish. (02:42) Ann - I have been praying for 12 years for one of my sons to come home to the church and my son recently called me to say he would be going back to Mass. I was so happy. (10:59) Michelle - I worked as a hospice chaplain. Sometimes it takes 30 years, but people do come back. I have seen this in my work. (13:34) Sarah - My priest brings up children to the altar during the Consecration. Is that ok? (15:17) Matt - I have heard that Catholics don't have a list of infallible traditions that we need to follow. How are we recording traditions?

When your past has been uprooted, how do you hold on to who you are? For Haleh Shoa, that question shaped her life. At just nine years old, she fled Iran with her family during the Revolution — carrying little more than a few cherished photos. Those images became her connection to home, her culture, and her story. Decades later, after a thriving career in luxury advertising, Haleh realized that storytelling was still at the heart of everything she did — but now, she wanted those stories to mean something deeper. That realization led her to found Picturli, a photo organization and legacy storytelling studio dedicated to helping families preserve their memories and reconnect with their histories. In this episode, Haleh breaks down how to honor your story, protect your memories, and transform personal pain into purposeful creativity. The Emotional Power Of Preservation What if the stories that shaped your brand were lost? Haleh shares how preserving memories goes beyond nostalgia and is an act of protecting your identity.  Through her family's experience of displacement and the lessons learned from clients who've lost irreplaceable archives, she challenges founders to think about their own story as an asset worth safeguarding.  The message: don't just build a business. Build something that remembers where it came from. Turning Chaos Into Legacy Haleh reveals how her team at Picturely transforms thousands of disorganized photos into cohesive, lasting legacies—and how that same principle applies to entrepreneurs.  By bringing clarity and intention to the stories you share, you can turn complexity into connection and create a brand that stands the test of time. Enjoy this episode with Haleh Shoa… Soundbytes 20:21 - 20:41 "I think it's really important for those who are running a business to make sure that the branding feels right to them. You know, yes, it has to hit the right audience, but it's coming from us. It's like something that we create. So it really has to feel right from our soul." 29:21 - 29:37 "A lot of growth comes from within, right? It's that alignment that you have in your own heart about what you're creating, and sometimes I fall off track and go, "Oh, my God. Why am I doing this?" And then I have to go back to my why." Quotes "Good enough is not enough." "Think of your future self." "The challenge is a learning experience. It's all happening for you, and not to you."

GREG BRENNECKA: IMPACT—HOW ROCKS FROM SPACE LED TO LIFE, CULTURE, AND DONKEY KONG Impact: How Rocks from Space Led to Life, Culture, and Donkey Kong Cosmochemist Greg Brennecka discusses the history of meteoritics, beginning with the documentation of a meteor shower in Normandy, France, in 1803 by Jean Baptiste Biot, which validated the celestial origin of falling rocks and proved they fell according to mechanics. In ancient times—such as 4,000 BCE in Iran—iron meteorites were highly valued because humanity could not manufacture native iron at that point, and Mesopotamians interpreted meteorites as significant historical augurs. Despite this early recognition, influential Greek thinkers like Aristotle denied their heavenly origin for 2,000 years, believing the heavens were perfect, a denial that persisted until the thorough documentation of falls in the early 19th century.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Iran may be gearing up for Round Two. New reports suggest Tehran is preparing to unleash 2,000 missiles at once in a future strike on Israel—but experts say the real bottleneck isn't the missile stockpile, it's the launchers. Later in the show—the nation's longest-ever government shutdown could be nearing its end, after a group of moderate Democrats broke ranks with their party's leadership.

The Iranian capital Tehran is suffering from a severe water crisis as the country faces a historic drought. The government has openly discussed an evacuation of the city as its nearly 10 million residents deal with water rationing. Also, at least eight people were killed in a car explosion in a densely populated area of India's capital. And, Iraq heads to the polls for parliamentary elections, with a record number of candidates, but high voter apathy. Plus, a painting by Frida Kahlo that's being auctioned later this month could become the most expensive work by any female or Latin American artist.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As US special envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the state of the ceasefire, Berman reports on the diplomatic push and pull with Hamas and the delayed release of hostage bodies, in violation of said ceasefire. Berman notes that the US and Turkey are currently pressuring Israel to allow the safe release of some 100 Hamas fighters holed up in Gaza tunnels located on the Israeli-controlled side of the Yellow ceasefire line in southern Gaza's Rafah in exchange for yesterday's release of Hadar Goldin's body, although that release was part of the initial hostage deal. Berman discusses the lack of IAEA investigations into new Iranian nuclear sites, as Iran appears to be preparing for another round of the conflict with Israel. He also talks about the diplomatic situation with Hezbollah, as Lebanon's disarmament of the terrorist group seems to be taking place at a slower pace than its rearmament, creating the potential for another Israeli operation to the north. Following the release home of fallen soldier Hadar Goldin, Freiberg discusses the relentless struggle by the Goldin family over eleven years and their repeated calls to take a more aggressive stance against Hamas, criticizing any deterrence or concessions taken with the terror group.

OVER the past few months, our team of analysts has been quietly at work, giving our shadow fleet* watchlist a huge revamp. For those not in the know, the list identifies vessels that fit a specified set of criteria making them likely candidates for the shadow fleets serving Russia, Iran and Venezuela. As the sanction campaigns from the UK, US and EU intensify, the behaviour and identifying characteristics of these vessels has changed — telltale giveaways in 2023 are not the same in 2025 at all. With that in mind, we thought we'd bring on our two in-house shadow fleet experts to explain what's changed and why you should take notice. Lloyd's List reporter sat down with Lloyd's List senior risk and compliance analyst Bridget Diakun and maritime risk analyst Tomer Raanan to understand how things have changed.

This podcast episode, "The Drums Begin Again," warns that the November 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is effectively over, marked by resumed Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah's elite Radwan Unit and a strategic shift toward preemption on Israel's northern front.Hezbollah, though weakened, is actively rebuilding its infrastructure south of the Litani River, while Iran continues to rearm its proxy via Syria, which is now considered a single operational theater with Lebanon. Lebanon's government is powerless, while President Trump's transactional U.S. foreign policy supports Israel's self-defense while urging restraint and tightening sanctions on Iran, even as backchannel diplomacy with Egypt and Jordan resumes.The situation is risky and complicated, with Hezbollah getting stronger, Israel changing its approach, Iran still getting more weapons, Russia becoming more confrontational worldwide, and Turkey and Egypt trying to mediate, indicating that a big regional conflict is likely to happen soon.

Tucker's recent interview with Dave Smith made perfectly clear how dishonest the campaign against him has been, led as it is by some of the worst, most bloodthirsty savages in America.

The Iranian government says water supplies in the capital Tehran will suffer periodic cuts, as the country struggles to cope with its worst drought in decades. The announcement came two days after President Masoud Pezeshkian suggested Tehran might have to be evacuated, if shortages continue. His comments have prompted widespread criticism in Iranian newspapers and on social media, with the president accused of scaremongering and conducting "a narrative of despair." We speak to a resident in the capital and a former Environment Department official. Also in the programme: Curtis Sliwa who came 3rd in this week's election for New York mayor tells us he was offered bribes to pull out of the race; and the woman who took up golf in her 50's and hit three holes in one in a month.(Photo: Iranians picnic inside an almost dry river, which was once full, in the Fasham area, north of Tehran, Iran, 25 August 2025.
