Baila Sebrow, host of The Definitive Rap sat down with the show's Israeli Correspondent Barry Shaw and International Public Diplomacy Director at The Israel Institute for Strategic Studies. As always Barry gives a full account of details not heard anywhere else. Mainstream media does not necessarily cover everything, and Barry will be fascinating the viewers and listeners. Barry explained how the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas have spread their influence throughout the territory governed by the Palestinian Authority and President Biden's two-street solution on 1967 lines, and the security issues it will potentially pose. He also talked about how after Israel fought a three-day battle with the terror group in the Gaza Strip, Defense Minister Benny Gantz accused Iran of funding Palestinian Islamic Jihad tens of million dollars a year, and that the U.S. Justice Dept. charged a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps with plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump's National Security advisor John Bolton, in an apparent retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani.  Barry believes that Israel's biggest problem is the  U.S. appeasement of Iran.  Barry also discussed the Likud primaries shaking up the party's Knesset slate.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and military reporter Mannie Fabian join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Fabian reviews a recent series of seemingly connected events, beginning with an Israeli strike in Syria on Friday night, the assassination of a senior member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Tehran on Sunday and a foiled attempt by the Shin Bet of an Iranian operation to contact and possibly kidnap Israelis. Schneider looks at the ongoing debate regarding the IDF scholarship bill that is currently dividing the Likud party during the ongoing coalition crisis. Fabian discusses the plans for a month-long IDF drill that was delayed last spring. Schneider also talks about the emotional speech offered by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Sunday regarding a bill expanding budgets for people with disabilities, in light of his own experiences raising his adult daughter, who is on the autism spectrum. Discussed articles include: Syria says 3 soldiers killed in Israeli missile strikes near Damascus Slain Iranian officer said to have planned attacks against Israelis, Jews worldwide Israel says it foiled Iranian operation to lure Israelis abroad, possibly nab them Lapid in tears as cabinet discusses budget boost for people with disabilities Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.  IMAGE: Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid at a cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem on May 15, 2022 (Courtesy Yonatan Sindel/Flash90) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DEVELOPING right now! Russia's “eleventh hour” hour interference in the Iran deal. On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck shares the infuriating details of Russia's plan to evade international sanctions via the Iran nuclear deal. New documents reveal that a leading Russian energy company has a $10 billion contract to build out one of Iran's most contested nuclear sites amid reports of carveouts that will waive sanctions on both countries. Is the U.S. enabling this dangerous duo? Will Joe Biden cave on dropping the terror designation on Iran's deadly Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps? Learn more about your ad choices.

The struggle to succeed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is growing intense. Its outcome will have significant consequences for Iran, the Middle East, and the US. Khamenei’s health has been failing for years, and his retirement or passing seems increasingly imminent. Current indicators suggest that his successor will be more hardline and less willing or able to rein in the aggressive instincts of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. In this episode of Overwatch, Nicholas Heras, Director of Government Relations at ISW, and Nicholas Carl, the Iran Team Lead at the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute, discuss the leading candidates to succeed Khamenei, their policy views on engaging with the United States and the West, and how the process of picking the next Supreme Leader could affect US policy on Iran.

Maryam Alemzadeh (Princeton) Siavush Randjbar-Daemi (St Andrews), author of The Quest for Authority in Iran: a history of the presidency from revolution to Rouhani (2017), give a talk for the Middle East Centre Friday Seminar Series. Chaired Professor Edmund Herzig (Faculty of Oriental Studies, Oxford) Scholars have shown the dictatorial function of the parallel political system of the Islamic Republic: although the authoritarian office of supreme leadership and the security apparatuses strictly limit the quasi-democratic institutions (i.e. the presidency and the parliament), they avert any criticism of the government’s malfunction to the latter, thereby saving ideological face among dedicated supporters. In this functionalist explanation of the dual system of power, the qualitative difference of the two sides’ working mechanisms goes unnoticed. In this talk I address the organizational dynamics of the nonconventional section of state in Iran, with a special focus on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards. I demonstrate that behind the security apparatus Panopticon and its capillary power lies a “revolutionary” institution—one that tolerates and encourages revolutionary direct action, thereby sustaining a sizable popular base over the years. The popular base is not necessarily brainwashed to serve the state. Rather, I argue, institutions of power keep it committed and interested by authorizing spontaneous, direct action, even though revolutionary times are long passed. Maryam Alemzadeh-Bio Maryam Alemzadeh is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University's Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies. She earned her PhD in sociology at the University of Chicago in 2018, and has previously worked as the Grinspoon Junior Research Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University. Maryam is a historical and cultural sociologist of revolutions, state building, and grassroots militias, specializing on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Based on detailed historical findings, she writes about cultural practices as a sociologist, and about contemporary US-Middle East politics as an Iran expert. Her work has appeared in the British Journal of Middle East Studies and Foreign Affairs, among other places.

The killing of Qasem Soleimani by the US in January will not likely lead to open war with Iran. But the death of the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ elite Qods Force and arguably Iran’s second most powerful man will not go unanswered. In this podcast we bring together four of Control Risks’ leading analysts to discuss the key domains in which the Iran US conflict will play out.

Show Sponsor - PBE Group Texas -  972- 764-3120 ---- ew Segment - #Fitness expert with @Tim McComsey www.TRYMFIT.com  Tehran's streets were packed with black-clad mourners Monday as a sea of people turned out to pay their respects to Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed by a US drone strike in Baghdad last week. The mourners clutched photographs of Soleimani, a revered and powerful figure who headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps elite Quds Force and led Iran's overseas operations. Many of those on the streets of the Iranian capital was visibly upset and angry; others shouted "down with the USA" and "death to the USA." Iranian state television said millions of people attended, although this figure has yet to be verified. Soleimani's body was later taken to a ceremony in the holy city of Qom, ahead of a burial in his hometown of Kerman. 

A day after President Trump backed away from further military conflict with Iran, a commander of the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps declared that Iran would soon take “harsher revenge” on the United States for a drone strike last week that killed a top Iranian general. The slain commander, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, had led the Quds Force, a powerful branch of the corps, and his death reverberated across the country, prompting calls for revenge and retaliatory strikes by Iran against two military bases in Iraq. The barrage of missiles on Wednesday took no American lives, Mr. Trump said, and appeared to have inflicted little damage on air bases in Al-Asad and Erbil that house thousands of Iraqi and American servicemen and women. And though Tehran said afterward that it had “concluded proportionate measures” to avenge the killing of General Suleimani, officials in the region cautioned that Iran might not be done maneuvering and had not abandoned its goal to drive the United States out of the Middle East. A senior commander in the Revolutionary Guards, Abdollah Araghi, said on Thursday that Iran’s armed forces would “impose harsher revenge on the enemy in the near future,” according to a translated report from Iran’s Tasnim News Agency. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bj-murphy9/support

In this week's media review we ask if Iran is spying on the USS Eisenhower. We also take a look at the possible knock-on effects of President Donald Trump's designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terror organization.
