Tommy and Ben unpack the latest twists in Donald Trump's chaotic regime-change war with Iran, which eleven days in is still plagued by shifting goals, contradictory messaging, and rising regional consequences. They break down the White House's confusing claims of victory despite unresolved threats—from the hundreds of pounds of highly enriched uranium still loose inside Iran to signs that Tehran may be mining the Strait of Hormuz. The guys discuss the war's mounting casualties, environmental devastation from Israeli strikes on Iranian fuel depots, and the dangerous escalation of attacks on desalination plants across the Gulf. They also dig into what we know about Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, explain why sending troops into Iran to secure its nuclear materials—or seize the oil hub of Kharg Island—would be a massive and risky military mission, and why Democrats in Congress must refuse to authorize more funding for the war. Plus: Israel's widening war in Lebanon, the U.S. military's new role in Ecuador's fight against drug cartels, and the election of a GenZ rapper-turned-politician in Nepal. Then Tommy speaks to Michael C. Horowitz, Senior Fellow for Tech & Innovation at the Council on Foreign Relations, about the Pentagon's fight with Anthropic and how AI is being used by the military.For Friends of the Pod the guys answer questions about whether assassination-as-foreign-policy is making a comeback, which US military interventions were actually successful in the post-WWII era, and, like…dude, what the fuck.Preorder Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.

In the last few days, President Donald Trump has said that the U.S-Israel war on Iran will end soon, after oil prices jumped and the growing regional conflict continued to shake markets. After a wave of heavy bombardments throughout Iran, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promised another round, “The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.” “Hegseth has, yes, said that it's going to be basically death and destruction from the air, and they're delivering that,” Hooman Majd, an Iranian American writer and journalist, tells The Intercept Briefing. “Killing civilians is a hallmark of American air war. This particular campaign Operation Epic Fury is set apart by the relentlessness of the attacks,” adds Nick Turse, senior reporter for The Intercept. “The two militaries — U.S. and Israel — combined were striking a conservative estimate of 1,000 targets per day in the first days of the conflict. Around 4,000 targets were hit in the first 100 hours of the campaign. For another point of comparison, Israeli attacks in the recent Gaza war were also relentless, but this far outpaces the Israeli campaign by more than double the number of strikes.” On Wednesday, Trump told Axios the war would end soon because there's “practically nothing left to target."This week on the The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy talked to Majd and Turse about the latest developments in the U.S. and Israel war on Iran and the growing number of conflicts the U.S. is engaged in. Senior technology reporter Sam Biddle also joined to discuss how artificial intelligence is being used in various U.S. conflicts.“Airstrikes, air war generally is already so prone to killing innocent people even when you take your time. But whenever you try to hurry for the sake of hurrying — and AI is great at enabling that — you just increase over and over again the chance of killing someone that you didn't intend to or didn't care enough to avoid killing,” says Biddle. “So I think that is an immense risk of just accelerating the metabolism of killing from the air by drone, by airplane — with the stamp of ‘intelligence' that these AI companies are really pushing.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

The BBC hears from Iranian residents about life under bombardment, as the US says its military campaign is a "resounding success" - and ahead of schedule. Tehran accuses its enemies of targeting civilians. We also hear from one of the world's biggest shipping companies about how it's unwilling to risk its employees and vessels by sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. In other news, passenger trains are set to resume between China and North Korea.

The White House has been brazenly lying about the Minab school massacre, where American Tomahawk missiles killed 167 girls aged 7-12, as Trump and his officials falsely claim Iran bombed its own children—a claim Trump made that even Pete Hegseth refused to fully endorse. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight the grotesque hypocrisy of U.S. and Israeli officials who justify civilian deaths by accusing Iran of using "human shields," while Israel's own Mossad headquarters sits in a residential Tel Aviv neighborhood and its military operates command centers beneath hospitals.  Jimmy also contrasts the warmongering of exiled Iranians in Los Angeles who cheer for U.S. troops to die "freeing" a country they fled, with the reality that America is now bombing civilian infrastructure like water desalination plants—a clear war crime. The segment concludes with the devastating images of the murdered schoolgirls, underscoring that the U.S. is led by "child-slaughtering demons" who kill children abroad while pretending to care about human rights. Plus segments on Trump stating that the Iran war is "over" and Israel's false flag attack on Turkey. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Benjamin Netanyahu!

What are Iranians actually experiencing right now? Suzi speaks with Yassamine Mather, an Iranian socialist who has been in direct contact with relatives, colleagues, and comrades inside Iran throughout the bombing. Yassamine is chair of Hands Off the People of Iran, editor of Critique, and researcher at Oxford's Middle East Centre. She describes near-hourly strikes, hospitals hit, internet cut, and a propaganda war in which state TV claims nothing happened while satellite channels say nothing is left. She explains why Trump's promise to 'liberate' Iran has had opposite effects: People who were in January's anti-regime protests are now joining pro-government demonstrations — not for the regime, but out of rage at foreign attack. She assesses Khamenei's death, the removal of his brake on IRGC adventurism, Netanyahu's real objective (to destroy Iran as a country, not just its nuclear program), and why this war makes 2003 look well planned. She also addresses dangerous illusions some on the Left hold about Russia or China as potential saviors. She closes with a new initiative: Nur, a project for regional solidarity across Iran, Palestine, and the Arab world, launched with veteran socialist Moshé Machover. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

As the Epstein investigations roll on, Iran is showing no inclination to settle for peace after the violent and underhanded American and Israeli attacks. Is there any kind of exit strategy, or is it possible Trump is actually hoping for a terrorist-style attack on US soil so he can declare a state of emergency?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

March 10, 2026; Since an elementary school was bombed on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, reports have come out highlighting the cost of the effort. One hundred and seventy-five people died at the school, most of them children. Eight American soldiers have died so far, and more than 140 have been injured. And with the administration unable to provide a coherent, consistent answer to how or why any of this is worth it, even  President Donald Trump's own base is calling for accountability.

Today's Headlines: The Iran conflict is sending mixed signals from the top — Trump says it's ending soon, Hegseth says it's just beginning — but the consequences are already concrete: $5.6 billion spent in the first two days, gas prices spiking, and the Strait of Hormuz effectively paralyzed, choking off 20% of the world's oil supply. Israeli airstrikes left Tehran's air toxic and unbreathable, Iran shot a second missile into NATO airspace over Turkey in less than a week, and U.S. authorities intercepted encrypted communications believed to be an activation trigger for Iranian sleeper cells on American soil. Putin congratulated Iran's new supreme leader and promised unwavering support, then called Trump to offer his own proposals for ending the war — which is either diplomatic or suspicious, depending on your level of trust in Vladimir Putin. At home, AP News released damning investigative reporting on Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention facility, where the agency's own data shows 80% of detainees have no criminal record. The facility is closed to visitors amid a measles outbreak, detainees report being denied medication and clean water, and staff were allegedly overheard making bets on suicide deaths. The DOJ reached a settlement with LiveNation and Ticketmaster — $200 million in damages plus forced platform access for rivals and a mandate to sell 10 amphitheaters — marking the most significant crack in the company's decade-long grip on live events. And California Rep. Kevin Kiley formally left the Republican Party to become an independent, effective immediately.

It's rare for the U.S. to have a capable ally, but Israel is just that.   While the so-called big powers of NATO don't have the air capability or the will to cooperate with its allies, Israel does, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   “We have a very strong ally in Israel.  We have some unreliable allies in our formal alliance. We should remember that before we start making accusations that the Jews or the Israelis are pulling the strings of American diplomacy and military decision making.”

Dan is joined by Israeli journalist Amit Segal and military historian Fred Kagan to unpack reports that roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% may still be recoverable from a bombed Iranian nuclear site. They discuss why that level of enrichment matters, what it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material, and why the race to secure it could shape the next phase of the war. The conversation also explores the broader campaign against the Iranian regime, the possibility of regime change, renewed Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel, and what Iran might look like if the current leadership collapses. In this episode: - The race to secure Iran's buried 60% enriched uranium - Why 60% enrichment puts Iran close to nuclear weapons capability - What it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material - The broader military campaign against Iran's regime infrastructure - Netanyahu's “surprises” and the strategy to destabilize the regime - Hezbollah's renewed attacks on northern Israel - The rise of Mojtaba Khamenei and what it means for the regime - Could regime change in Iran trigger a civil war?

The UN World Food Programme – WFP – has spoken of its relief that the closure of a key crossing point for aid and commercial supplies to Gaza has reopened after being shut, when Israeli and US bombs began hitting Iran.Speaking from Jerusalem, WFP's Country Director in Palestine, Shaun Hughes, described how chronic constraints on aid delivery have kept humanitarian assistance at a “hand-to-mouth” level across the war-shattered enclave.To illustrate that point, Mr. Hughes explained that WFP has just two weeks' worth of half rations available for 1.5 million Gazans, after being forced to cut the full ration in January. “We'd like to get [rations] back up to 75 per cent, but with the level of food that we're getting in at the moment, that seems unlikely,” he told UN News's Daniel Johnson.

Israel struck Tehran's oil facilities as Iran named a new supreme leader, the hardline son of the Ayatollah Israel killed on day one, and a senior Israeli military official tells NPR the war needs three more weeks.President Trump reversed course on Kurdish fighters entering Iran, and Iraq's Kurdish deputy prime minister tells NPR in his first interview with western media since the war began that the Kurds will not be part of the fight and are not guns for hire.And the war is strangling the Strait of Hormuz, where hundreds of tankers and container ships are now stranded, raising fears of a global energy crisis.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, Tina Kraja, James Hider, Mohamad ElBardicy and HJ Mai.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Ben Abrams.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Neisha Heinis.

We are continuing our conversation with Agnès Callamard, the secretary general of Amnesty International. On Sunday, tens of thousands of women around the world marked International Women's Day by demonstrating against gender-based violence and calling for an end to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. And today marks the opening of a major United Nations summit: the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. This all comes a week after Iraqi human rights defender and feminist advocate Yanar Mohammed was assassinated in Baghdad. She was killed in an attack on her home.

Jimmy and comedian, writer and actor Rick Overton light into Jon Stewart for recycling Islamophobic "72 virgin" jokes from the Iraq War era to mock Iran's response to U.S. aggression, accusing him of pushing war propaganda while ignoring critical facts. They detail how Iran only attacked U.S. military bases that were being used to bomb Iran, while Israel is simultaneously attacking Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Lebanon—facts Stewart omits to paint Iran as irrational.  Jimmy points out that Israeli agents were arrested in Gulf countries for planning bombings, confirming that Israel is actively trying to drag the region into a wider war, which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admits Israel wants. Jimmy and Rick conclude by noting Stewart's brother, Larry Leibowitz, was a top executive at the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting a conflict of interest that explains his silence on Wall Street and willingness to toe the establishment line on wars, Ukraine, and COVID. Plus segments on Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson eviscerating Piers Morgan over the Iran war, the likelihood that Gulf Coast states will crater the US economy and Trump's unhinged pledge to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.  Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Dennis Kucinich and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Hillary Supporter!

2. The Loss of Sacrifice and the Shadow of the Pacific War The debaters contrast the modern era with the Pacific War (1941-1945), noting that Pearl Harbor provided an immediate, unifying rationale for total war. During that time, there was no doubt regarding the mission to defeat Japan and Germany, and the nation embraced a spirit of sacrifice. Germanicus points to the film *They Were Expendable* as an artifact of a time when martyrdom bound the people together in a shared national identity. Today, however, he argues that the sacred narrative has been "hollowed out" and corrupted by leaders who use it for manipulation. Modern Americans, described as increasingly narcissistic, have lost the memory of what it means to be part of something larger than themselves. Furthermore, the U.S. has transitioned into a society that prefers striking from afar via technology rather than engaging in "boots on the ground" combat. This leads to a dangerous disconnect: while the leadership feels "in command pushing buttons," they are oblivious to the fact that they may be losing the war, repeating the failures of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Without a clear U.S. war aim, the military appears to be merely executing an Israeli mission to degrade Iran, leaving the American public without a sense of purpose or a defined end to the hostilities.

Today's Headlines: Iran has a new Supreme Leader: Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah, who is reportedly a bigger hardliner than his father — whose death he can thank the U.S. and/or Israel for, along with his wife's. Trump immediately called him "unacceptable," which might've been useful information before the bombing campaign began. The U.S. death toll from Iranian retaliatory strikes is now at 8, oil just crossed $100 a barrel for the first time in four years, and the White House press secretary went on Fox News and refused to rule out a draft. Meanwhile, the CIA is reportedly arming Kurdish forces to stir up an internal uprising in Iran, while U.S. and Israeli officials are discussing sending special forces in to secure Iran's nuclear stockpile. Meanwhile, the White House blocked intelligence agencies from issuing a terrorism threat warning to local law enforcement about rising domestic risks tied to the war. When Trump was asked about Americans dying on home soil, he said "some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."  Elsewhere in the hemisphere, Trump held a "Shield of the Americas" summit at his Doral golf club — because of course he did — gathering 17 Latin American leaders to announce a military coalition against cartels, with fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem elevated to special envoy of the whole thing. Trump also started floating regime change in Cuba, because the Iran war apparently wasn't enough. In other chaos: Hungary detained seven Ukrainian bank employees carrying $82 million in cash and two armored vehicles, which Ukraine called "state terrorism." Two teenagers from Pennsylvania were arrested for attempting to set off explosive devices outside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home during dueling protests. Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have forced disclosure of Epstein's financial records, and no one is asking any follow-up questions about that. And Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales — currently under House Ethics investigation — is dropping his reelection bid but refusing to resign his seat.

Iran's Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country's new supreme leader. The younger Khamenei, aged 56, was long considered a contender for the position, even before an Israeli strike killed his father, and despite never being elected or appointed to a government position. Khamenei has not been seen publicly for days, and now stands as the head of Iran's theocracy and will have final say over all matters of state. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies' Iran Program, who says while Mojtaba is younger, don't expect any sort of change in a hardliner rule of the country.

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 joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Overnight, the Israeli military says, it pushed deeper into southern Lebanon as part of its “enhanced forward defense posture” after Hezbollah began attacking Israel a week ago. While there are Israeli boots on the ground, Berman clarifies that the IDF is not -- yet -- taking part in a ground maneuver. We turn to Iran and the question of a potential schism between the US and Israel over Israel's targeting of Iranian oil sites. How long can the US continue the conflict in light of the ripple effects on the global economy? The Times of Israel's US bureau chief Jacob Magid conducted a telephone interview with US President Donald Trump yesterday. We hear the main headlines today, and Magid will fill us in on the rest of the conversation on the podcast tomorrow. And finally, we speak about the choice of Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father, Ali Khamenei, as supreme leader. Berman discusses who he is and how the move is a direct rebuke to US President Donald Trump, who had declared the son “unacceptable.” We also delve into the apparent differences of opinion among the leadership as Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized Saturday for attacks on regional countries, even as its missiles and drones flew toward Gulf Arab states Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The U.S. has struck 3,000 targets inside Iran in just one week, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the war effort is only beginning. With American and Israeli air superiority established, heavier conventional bombing campaigns may soon follow. Meanwhile, polling shows strong public support for the operation—as long as it stays short. But the political battle in Washington is heating up, with Democrats claiming the strikes violate the law while critics accuse them of hypocrisy dating back to the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya under Barack Obama. The debate raises a bigger question: who actually controls America's war powers? Summary: The United States has launched a massive opening phase in its conflict with Iran, striking more than 3,000 targets in the first week. According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the campaign is only getting started, with American and Israeli air forces now operating with overwhelming dominance in the skies. Military leaders say the next phase will involve larger conventional bomb strikes on strategic military infrastructure. While the risk of retaliation remains—especially through unconventional attacks—the administration argues the objective is clear: eliminate Iran's nuclear ambitions and cripple its ballistic missile program. Public support for the war currently sits high, with polls suggesting roughly three-quarters of Americans support the operation as long as it remains short and decisive. Meanwhile, the political fight in Washington is intensifying. Democrats claim the strikes violate congressional authority under the War Powers Act. But critics point to the precedent set during the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, when the Obama administration conducted months of military operations without formal authorization. Legal scholars such as Jonathan Turley argue that historically, presidents have had the authority to initiate hostilities without a formal declaration of war. The debate highlights growing tensions between national security decisions and political divisions in Washington. Key Takeaways: The U.S. has hit 3,000 Iranian targets in the first week of fighting. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the campaign is just beginning. U.S. and Israeli air forces now hold clear air superiority. Polls show strong public support—but only if the conflict stays short. Critics accuse Democrats of hypocrisy over war powers after the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya. Topic Tags: Iran War, U.S. Military, Middle East Conflict, War Powers Debate, Trump Foreign Policy

The U.S.-led campaign against Iran is off to a decisive start, with over 3,000 targets struck and Iran's military crippled. President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stress that overwhelming air superiority—combined with the Israeli Defense Forces—makes a ground invasion unnecessary. Energy markets spike, but experts and the administration insist it's temporary. Meanwhile, Democrats face criticism for opposing the war despite supporting similar actions in the past. This episode breaks down the military strategy, oil market impacts, and partisan contradictions. Episode Summary The Iran conflict continues with rapid U.S. and Israeli strikes crippling Iranian military and leadership structures. President Donald Trump scores the campaign a “12 to 15,” highlighting near-total destruction of Iran's army, navy, and communications, while dismissing the need for a ground invasion or European support. Secretary Pete Hegseth details the strategic advantage of air superiority and the planned use of conventional munitions—gravity bombs ranging from 500 to 2,000 pounds—to target remaining military assets. Oil prices have surged past $100 per barrel amid the strikes on Iranian depots. Energy Secretary Chris Wright reassures markets that the spike is temporary and driven by fear, not actual shortages. President Donald Trump echoes this, emphasizing that short-term disruptions are a small price to pay for neutralizing Iran's nuclear threat. Meanwhile, political scrutiny mounts at home. Senior Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Richard Blumenthal, criticize the war despite prior support for similar unilateral actions under Obama—drawing accusations of hypocrisy from legal analysts like Jonathan Turley. The episode also highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles half of China's energy exports but only three percent of U.S. oil, reinforcing that current disruptions are manageable for America while sending a warning to global adversaries. Key Takeaways U.S. and Israeli air forces have crippled Iranian military capabilities; ground invasion deemed unnecessary. Over 3,000 Iranian targets hit in the first week of the campaign. Oil prices spike above $100 per barrel, driven by fear, not supply shortage; expected to normalize. President Donald Trump emphasizes strategic benefits outweigh temporary economic discomfort. Democrats face criticism for opposing the war despite supporting similar actions in past conflicts. Strait of Hormuz disruption impacts global markets more than U.S. domestic supply.
