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. An Iranian official said this morning that authorities verified at least 5,000 people had been killed in protests in Iran, including about 500 security personnel, since December 28. According to a Sunday Times report citing an account put together by a network of Iranian doctors, the toll is more than 16,500 dead -- most under 30 -- and at least 330,000 people injured. Berman delves into the conflicting reports and updates us on what US President Donald Trump said Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet on Saturday revealed the identities of several Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives killed in strikes across the Gaza Strip earlier in the week, which Israel said were carried out in response to a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire in western Rafah when gunmen opened fire at troops. With both sides claiming ceasefire violations, Berman reviews what a ceasefire entails. We also learn how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to reports that the executive board for Trump’s Board of Peace includes senior officials from Qatar and Turkey. Syria’s army took control of swathes of the country’s north over the weekend, dislodging Kurdish forces from territory over which they had held effective autonomy for more than a decade. President Ahmed al-Sharaa issued a decree declaring Kurdish a “national language” and granting the minority group official recognition. All this comes before the president is meant to speak with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin on Tuesday, as Germany seeks to step up deportations of Syrians. Is this the start of a great return to Syria? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Nach tagelangen Protesten und einem brutalen Vorgehen des Regimes steht Iran unter massivem innerem Druck. Warum das Regime trotzdem hält – und weshalb gerade wirtschaftliche Machtstrukturen einen Sturz verhindern.

Depuis le 28 décembre, le peuple iranien se révolte contre le régime de l'ayatollah Khamenei. À l'origine, ce mouvement dénonçait la vie chère puis il a pris une grande ampleur et est réprimé dans le sang par les autorités.D'après une ONG iranienne, Iran Human Rights, plus de 3 400 manifestants ont été tués, et 10 000 autres arrêtés.

Is Iran's uprising a historic turning point, or the start of an even bloodier stalemate? In this episode, you'll learn what actually makes authoritarian regimes crack (hint: it's not street protests alone, it's defections inside the guns-and-batons apparatus), how President Trump's rhetoric (“write down their names,” “help is on its way,” tariffs, canceled talks) is being read as psychological warfare aimed at splintering regime enforcers, and why a U.S.-Israel strike, if it comes, could be calibrated to energize protesters rather than unite the public around the Ayatollahs. The hosts also clash over the nightmare scenario of a last-minute “deal” that leaves the regime alive, then widen the lens to the Abraham Accords, the hypocrisy of Western media and campus activists and the staggering domino effect of an Iran without proxies...ending with a blunt cliffhanger: they're convinced something big is coming, and soon.

C dans l'air du 14 janvier 2026 - Iran : la répression s'intensifie…Trump prêt à frapper ?Après plus de deux semaines de manifestations contre le régime des mollahs, dans un Iran privé d'Internet, il est impossible de connaître le bilan précis de la répression menée. Toutefois, plusieurs organisations humanitaires dénoncent un massacre contre le peuple iranien. L'ONG Iran Human Rights, basée à Oslo, dit avoir la confirmation de 734 victimes, mais estime que le nombre réel de morts pourrait s'élever à plusieurs milliers. Plus de 2 500 morts, dit de son côté ce mercredi l'organisation de défense des droits humains HRANA, basée aux États-Unis.Malgré le blocus des communications, des témoignages décrivent des blessures par balles, notamment aux yeux et à la tête, et des vidéos montrent des rangées et des rangées de sacs mortuaires. D'après les États-Unis, par ailleurs, le régime menace désormais les contestataires arrêtés d'exécution. Donald Trump a promis hier une action « très forte » si des citoyens étaient exécutés après des procès expéditifs. Téhéran accuse Washington de chercher un « prétexte » en vue d'une intervention militaire pour faire tomber le régime de l'ayatollah Khamenei.Signe d'un réel malaise à Moscou, les dirigeants russes de premier plan sont restés silencieux ces derniers jours sur la situation en Iran. Le chef de la diplomatie russe, Sergueï Lavrov, a réagi ce mercredi assurant qu'un pays tiers ne pourra pas « changer la nature des relations entre la Russie et l'Iran ». Avant lui, seul l'ancien ministre de la Défense, Sergueï Choïgou, a condamné une « nouvelle tentative de forces extérieures d'interférer dans les affaires intérieures » du pays. Pas plus que pour le Venezuela, le Kremlin ne semble décidé à venir au secours d'un pays qu'il présentait pourtant, il y a peu, comme un « allié stratégique ». De plus en plus menaçant vis-à-vis de Téhéran, Donald Trump a également insisté une nouvelle fois ce mercredi sur le besoin « vital » pour les États-Unis de s'emparer du Groenland, avec le soutien de l'OTAN, juste avant un entretien sous haute tension à Washington entre dirigeants danois, groenlandais et américains autour de l'avenir du territoire autonome danois. Les intentions du président des États-Unis doivent être « prises très au sérieux », a estimé le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu. Le chef de la diplomatie française, Jean-Noël Barrot, a annoncé l'ouverture d'un consulat au Groenland le 6 février.Alors que se passe-t-il en Iran ? Qui est Ali Khamenei, le guide suprême de l'Iran ? Le régime des mollahs peut-il tomber ? A l'heure où Donald Trump n'exclue pas un recours à la force contre le régime iranien à quoi pourrait ressembler une intervention américaine en Iran ? Enfin quid du Groenland ?

Baptisée « Sauver la démocratie au Tchad », elle entend faire front commun pour dénoncer « les dérives politiques ». Que sait-on de cette nouvelle alliance ? Qui est à sa tête ? Ces partis qui dénoncent une répression des médias et un recul de la liberté ne risquent-ils pas d'en être eux-mêmes victimes ?    Avec Carol Valade, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI, ancien correspondant à N'Djamena.    Iran : les manifestants vont-ils faire tomber le régime ?    En Iran, les manifestations contre le régime sont entrées dans leur troisième semaine. Malgré la sanglante répression et le blackout numérique pour étouffer toute circulation d'information à l'intérieur du pays et vers l'extérieur, la mobilisation ne faiblit pas. Ce mouvement de révolte est-il différent des précédentes vagues de manifestation ? Le régime iranien peut-il tomber sans une intervention de l'étranger ?     Iran : l'ayatollah Khamenei est-il vraiment prêt à dialoguer avec Donald Trump ?   Après ses menaces d'une opération militaire, Donald Trump a déclaré dimanche (11 janvier 2026) que les dirigeants iraniens étaient prêts à négocier et qu'une réunion était en préparation. Le lendemain, la diplomatie iranienne a confirmé qu'un canal de communication était « ouvert » avec l'émissaire américain pour le Moyen-Orient. Est-il crédible que Téhéran accepte des pourparlers ?

Cuba peut-elle se passer du pétrole vénézuélien ? Sait-on quel type d'accord Washington souhaite négocier avec La Havane ?  Avec Jannette Habel, politiste, chercheuse à l'Institut des Hautes Études en Amérique Latine et associée à l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. 

I de seneste uger har protester spredt sig over hele Iran, og landet står midt i sin alvorligste krise i mange år. Demonstranter ønsker død over Irans religiøse leder Khamenei og hans styre. Men det er svært at vide præcist, hvad der foregår i landet. For Khamenei har slukket for internettet og gjort landet tavst. Shahin Aakjær er dansk Iran-ekspert med iransk baggrund. Han har boet i landet, taler sproget, er kandidat i mellemøststudier og holder foredrag om sin opvækst og Irans moderne historie og litteratur. I dagens afsnit fortæller han, hvordan det er at følge nyhederne uden at vide noget – imens han håber på, at den voksende splittelse i den iranske befolkning ikke udvikler sig til borgerkrig. Også Politikens seniorkorrespondent Anders Jerichow tegner et billede af krisen, og han forklarer, hvorfor Trump truer med at gribe ind militært i konflikten mellem ayatollahen og den voksende iranske protestbevægelse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le manifestazioni in Iran con centinaia di vittime e migliaia di arresti attesta forse un punto di non ritorno del regime di Khamenei. Cerchiamo di capire quali sono le premesse storiche di questa crisi e quali i possibili sbocchi con Pier Luigi Petrillo, Professore di diritto comparato alla LUISS Guido Carli e all'Universita Unitelma Sapienza di Roma.

As Iran descends into chaos, the Islamic regime is broadcasting Tucker Carlson clips as state propaganda. Patrick Bet-David and Rob Schneider debate whether Tucker is being used by the Ayatollah, how authoritarian regimes weaponize Western media, and where criticism ends and useful-idiot territory begins. A tense, necessary conversation.

Breaking developments in Iran as Ayatollah Khamenei issues threats, shuts down the internet, and protests turn deadly. Patrick Bet-David and Rob Schneider analyze Khamenei's tweets, the communications blackout, Reza Pahlavi's mixed messaging, and why leadership, leverage, and diplomacy will determine Iran's future. This is about power, timing, and survival.

Iran says it's "under control". Rights groups say hundreds are dead and thousands arrested. And Trump's weighing what comes next. Is it sanctions, cyber, Starlink… or is it strikes?SPONSOR: Lear CapitalThe best way to invest in gold and silver is with Lear Capital.

Parti des bazars de Téhéran, le soulèvement s'est propagé à travers tout le pays. Internet coupé depuis jeudi, le régime frappe dans l'ombre. L'ayatollah Khamenei peut-il encore tenir ? - réalisation : Félicie Faugère - invités : Delphine Minoui Journaliste et romancière franco-iranienne; Farid Vahid Auteur et chercheur en relations internationales; Armin Messager Doctorant à Science Po au CERI, journaliste Orient XXI, membre de l'IranLab, groupe de recherche indépendant

C dans l'air du 12 janvier 2026 - Trump menace, l'Iran se dit « prêt à la guerre »Quatre jours que les réseaux Internet et téléphoniques ont été coupés en Iran, et que les rares images qui parviennent montrent des foules iraniennes qui continuent de défiler chaque nuit dans les rues des grandes villes du pays, alors que le régime, défié comme jamais, durcit sa répression.Dénonçant un « massacre », l'ONG Iran Human Rights (IHR), basée en Norvège, a déclaré dimanche avoir confirmé la mort d'au moins 192 manifestants, mais a averti que le nombre réel de victimes pourrait être beaucoup plus élevé, alors que les quelques témoignages qui nous parviennent font état d'hôpitaux débordés par l'afflux de blessés et que des vidéos montrent des corps enveloppés dans des sacs noirs, posés à même le sol.Parallèlement, les autorités cherchent à reprendre la main en organisant des rassemblements ce lundi en soutien à la République islamique, et menacent les États-Unis de représailles en cas d'attaques en soutien aux manifestants. Le président du Parlement iranien a ainsi promis « une leçon inoubliable » à Donald Trump en cas d'attaque américaine. L'Iran « est tout à fait préparé pour la guerre », mais aussi « prêt à négocier », a averti un peu plus tôt ce lundi le ministre des Affaires étrangères iranien, lors d'un discours face aux ambassadeurs étrangers à Téhéran.Principal soutien économique de l'Iran, la Chine a appelé toutes les parties à la contestation en cours à œuvrer au retour au calme, tout en déclarant s'opposer fermement « aux ingérences dans les affaires intérieures des autres pays ». Une allusion directe à une possible intervention militaire américaine à Téhéran, après que Donald Trump a évoqué dimanche des « options très fortes » étudiées par son armée, tout en indiquant que l'Iran voulait "négocier" et qu'une réunion était en préparation avec les dirigeants de la République islamique. La Chine a également exhorté les États-Unis à mettre fin à leurs « mesures coercitives » contre Cuba, après que le président américain s'est engagé à couper tout approvisionnement en pétrole et en argent à l'île communiste.Alors, la situation en Iran est-elle sur le point de basculer ? La chute de l'ayatollah Khamenei est-elle proche ? Le régime des mollahs peut-il tomber ? Les Américains réfléchissent à intervenir, et Reza Pahlavi, fils de l'ancien shah d'Iran, en exil aux États-Unis, se rêve en recours. Mais incarne-t-il vraiment une alternative au régime ? Comment les images venues d'Iran nous parviennent-elles ?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's new information that contradicts what the Democrats and their media have been saying about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent. There's been an effort to portray her as a non-activist, but she was a Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch' ‘warrior' who was trained to resist the feds before the shooting. The Democrat party and their media are responsible for this shooting with their violent rhetoric. Also, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are the worst type of grifters. There are enemies to people of deep Christian faith, Jews, patriotic Americans supporting President Trump, and those opposing the rise of Islamism and Marxism in the country. These grifters, motivated by millions in profits from a niche audience, have abandoned their past personas to preach anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, Christian-bashing, and America-hating, stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back while using Saul Alinsky tactics to target, personalize, and assassinate characters, often Jews. Later, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a 230-196 passage of a three-year extension of expired Obamacare health care tax credits. This extension, unlikely to pass the Senate unchanged, imposes tens of billions in costs on taxpayers without systemic reforms, perpetuating inefficient, second-class government-run health care akin to Bernie Sanders' proposals. Afterward, Iran enforced a nationwide internet blackout as protests demanding the removal of the Islamic government and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei escalated across cities. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei" and "freedom, freedom." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has urged national unity and told President Trump to focus on U.S. problems, as Washington threatened military action.

Sign up for the Heartland Experience trip: https://serveisrael.com/volunteer/heartland-experience/   Purchase the I Am Israel photo book: https://theisraelguys.store/products/israel-photo-book   Tensions across the Middle East are escalating fast as Iran appears to be losing control at home and global powers quietly reposition. Reports indicate Russia is evacuating their embassy's staff from Israel, while massive protests erupt across Iran with chants of "Death to Khamenei," statues toppled, and entire cities reportedly slipping from regime control for the first time in nearly five decades. As Israel signals it may act preemptively against Iranian threats, U.S. leaders warn that continued repression could trigger dramatic consequences for Tehran. Meanwhile, Iranians themselves are sending shockwaves through the region—chanting "death to Palestine", renaming streets after Trump, and openly defying the regime in the streets.   We cover rising antisemitic incidents abroad, security developments inside Israel, escalating tensions in Judea and Samaria, and major policy shifts from the White House as President Trump withdraws the U.S. from dozens of international bodies and prepares the next phase of his Gaza peace plan.    Follow The Israel Guys on Telegram: https://t.me/theisraelguys  Follow Us On X: https://x.com/theisraelguys  Follow Us On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theisraelguys Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theisraelguys

Once again, Iranians have taken to the streets. Starting in late December, the plummeting value of the national currency, along with the soaring cost of living, were the catalyst for a fresh wave of protest – and one that soon turned political. Although the government has been quick to crack down on the demonstrations, the regime has been dealt some heavy blows in the past year, and analysts are pondering whether this could be the movement that ends the ayatollahs’ reign for good. Haaretz reporter Linda Dayan was joined by Arash Azizi, lecturer at Yale University and author of "What Iranians Want: Women, Life, Freedom" and "The Shadow Commander: Soleimani, the U.S., and Iran's Global Ambitions” to talk about these protests, and what they mean for Iran, for Israel, for the region and for the world. “In some of the previous protests, there was always a mix of hope and anger,” explains Azizi. “This time, there’s a lot more anger, because people know that they want an end to this regime, but they can’t find an easy path… there’s a lot more despondency and desperation.” Azizi explains that one of the key obstacles in realizing this aspiration is Iran’s fractured would-be opposition, including the ousted Shah’s son Reza Pahlavi, who’s found support from some Israeli lawmakers. The protesters “don’t have a disciplined political leadership that you need to bring about that kind of change,” Azizi says. Iran’s developments will likely “have the color of a coup, perhaps even more than a revolution” – and be led by figures currently inside the regime. U.S. President Donald Trump has also warned the Iranian regime against violently repressing the protests. The ouster of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela – a key Iranian ally – by U.S. forces “was a reminder to the Iranians that Trump is not bluffing, and that he could take action against them,” notes Azizi. “The idea that Trump would assassinate Khamenei, let’s say, with the help of Israel would have been unthinkable a few years ago… now, it’s really a possibility.” Read more: At Least 35 Killed, 1,200 Detained in Iran Protests as Threat of U.S. Intervention Looms Analysis by Zvi Bar'el | Why Trump's Venezuela Playbook Won't Work in Iran Israeli Officials Warn Iran May Strike Across the Middle East to Quell Protests Analysis by Ben Samuels | What Trump's Attack on Venezuela Means for Iran and MAGA Isolationists The Israeli Influence Operation Aiming to Install Reza Pahlavi as Shah of IranSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Iran is on the brink of falling as protesters move to take two cities and desperately appeal to President Trump. Abdanan and Malekshahi cities reportedly taken over by people celebrating in streets chanting 'Death to Khamenei'. Similar accounts emerged from Tehran, where security forces were reportedly seen entering Sina Hospital, prompting fear among patients and families. Also the 2025 U-Haul Growth Index indicates Texas as the number one state that people are moving to and Gary gets a jury summons.

« Les bijoutiers du bazar de Téhéran et les agents de change ont été parmi les premiers à gronder, relate Le Monde à Paris, baissant le rideau de leurs boutiques pour protester, dès dimanche dernier, dans les rues de la capitale iranienne. La flambée de l'or et l'effondrement soudain du rial, la monnaie nationale, venaient ruiner leur commerce, amplifiant le malaise économique d'un pays miné par des années d'incurie des autorités, de corruption endémique et de sanctions internationales. Comme si une étincelle venait de s'allumer, les manifestants ont été rejoints par les commerçants d'autres parties de la capitale, quittant les uns après les autres leurs étals pour défiler dans les rues. » Pour leur part, poursuit Le Monde, « comme si elles craignaient une contagion qui l'obligerait à une répression de plus grande ampleur, les autorités ont décrété que le 31 décembre serait férié comme le sont déjà les 1er, 2 et 3 janvier 2026. Ces quatre jours non travaillés étoufferont-ils le mouvement naissant ? Pour les experts de l'Iran, ces protestations, trois ans après le mouvement Femme, vie, liberté, ont quelque chose de singulier. Il ne s'agit plus de mater la grogne d'une partie de l'élite. “C'est le cœur battant de l'économie iranienne qui proteste“, observe Azadeh Kian, sociologue franco-iranienne, professeure émérite à l'université Paris Cité. » Rester en marge ? « Voilà que quelque chose se trame, s'exclame le Jerusalem Post. Serait-ce le moment où les masses iraniennes se libéreront enfin du joug de leurs dirigeants oppressifs ? Ou n'est-ce qu'une énième protestation qui finira par s'essouffler, sans laisser de traces ? Il est trop tôt pour le dire et l'Histoire nous met en garde contre tout triomphe prématuré. » En tout cas, poursuit le quotidien israélien, « une question cruciale se pose : comment l'Occident et Israël peuvent-ils soutenir les manifestants sans donner involontairement au régime des arguments, en les présentant comme des instruments étrangers ? L'Occident est confronté à un paradoxe : s'il apporte son soutien, le régime s'en servira pour délégitimer les manifestants ; mais s'il ne le fait pas, les manifestants se sentiront abandonnés. » Et dans le même temps, pointe encore le Jerusalem Post, « Israël est confronté à un dilemme crucial. Elle aspire à un autre régime en Iran, un régime qui cesse d'exporter violence et chaos dans toute la région. Mais si l'influence israélienne se fait sentir dans les manifestations, la propagande du régime n'en sera que plus facile. » Ou bien soutenir le mouvement ? Pour le Wall Street Journal, « rien n'indique encore que le régime iranien est menacé d'un effondrement immédiat. » Mais les manifestations de ces derniers jours « offrent aux États-Unis l'occasion de manifester leur soutien au peuple iranien. En 2009, Barack Obama avait commis l'erreur de garder le silence face à la répression des manifestants par le régime, car il souhaitait un accord nucléaire avec l'ayatollah. Donald Trump pourrait être tenté par la même illusion. » « Les Iraniens qui risquent leur vie méritent (donc) un soutien concret, insiste le Wall Street Journal. Cela peut impliquer le rétablissement de l'accès à Internet lorsque le régime le coupe, la dénonciation des responsables de la répression du régime, et bien plus encore. Donald Trump peut également mettre en œuvre la loi Mahsa Amini, adoptée en 2024, afin de garantir que les responsables de violations des droits de l'homme rendent des comptes. Enfin, le plus important est de maintenir la pression économique sur le régime iranien », pointe encore le quotidien financier américain. Avec l'application à 100% des sanctions pétrolières. En effet, « l'ayatollah Khamenei a absolument besoin des revenus du pétrole pour s'assurer de la loyauté de ses commandants militaires (…). Si ces revenus venaient à manquer, l'armée pourrait changer de camp. » De possibles négociations ? En tout cas, conclut Die Welt à Berlin, « le choix qui se présente à Téhéran est clair. L'Iran peut devenir un État souverain doté d'un avenir viable, intégré à l'économie mondiale. Ou bien, il peut rester un régime révolutionnaire en proie à une confrontation permanente avec la réalité. Ce qu'il ne peut se permettre, c'est de rester à la fois ambitieux et intouchable. » Car, poursuit le quotidien allemand, « Israël ne vivra pas indéfiniment sous une menace existentielle. Les dirigeants iraniens le savent. C'est précisément pour cette raison que des négociations restent possibles et qu'elles peuvent encore aboutir. L'histoire n'accorde pas de temps illimité aux régimes. Elle leur offre des moments décisifs. Celui-ci en est un. »

Over 2025, every Friday, the Sky News Daily has been profiling a figure in the news – those who are making headlines, creating conversations. During the festive period, we're revisiting some of those standout profiles – the ones that really got us talking.In June, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's often reclusive supreme leader, surfaced to hit back at Donald Trump's demands for an unconditional surrender.Khamanei first came to power as President of Iran in 1981, and he was a surprise choice for supreme leader eight years later. But since then, with the help of the Revolutionary Guard he has had almost complete control of Iran and its anti-Israel and anti-American foreign policy agenda.Sky's Tom Cheshire speaks to Alex Vatanka, founding director of the Iran programme at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, about how Khamenei is viewed inside Iran and how his policies contributed to the current crisis.Producer: Soila ApparicioEditor: Wendy Parker

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi exposes Iran's real power structure, detailing the corruption of the Khomeini family, inner-circle betrayals, and how the regime silences its own. Drawing from personal experience, he explains why Iran's leadership mirrors extremist movements, not religion.

On today’s Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down how Donald Trump is being consumed by the growing Epstein feeding frenzy — from his inexplicable softness toward Ghislaine Maxwell to signs he may be genuinely afraid of what she knows. As Trump lashes out at Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene with the same fury he once reserved for impeachment-backers, his grip on the GOP shows early signs of slipping, even as the DOJ considers whether reopening the Epstein investigation could delay the release of sensitive files. With the economy struggling, tariffs quietly being dropped, and ACA subsidies suddenly in play, Trump’s visible panic comes at a politically vulnerable moment. Chuck also recaps conversations from the Texas Tribune Festival, where potential Democratic contenders like Wes Moore and Tim Walz signaled a return to mainstream, service-rooted politics — and where Moore’s centrist lane and military background set him apart as 2028 speculation slowly heats up. Then, historian and author David Lesch joins Chuck to discuss the new book Dodgers to Damascus — an unexpected blend of Middle Eastern politics and baseball. Lesch traces his path from aspiring major-leaguer to one of America’s foremost scholars on Syria, explaining how the fall of the Ottoman Empire, artificial borders drawn by European powers, and a lack of cohesive national identity still shape the region today. He offers candid reflections on his relationship with Bashar al-Assad, why Syria is likely drifting toward a sectarian majoritarian state, and whether any country in the Middle East is truly positioned to attempt democracy. From Iran’s teetering leadership to the Saudis’ complicated partnership with the West, Lesch unpacks the geopolitical moment with clarity and experience. Chuck and David also dive into the surprising ways baseball helped him understand the Middle East — and vice versa. Lesch reflects on the physical toll of pitching, the Braves’ legendary rotation, and why modern sports medicine might have saved his career. The conversation even explores whether the Middle East could ever embrace baseball, the role of Islamophobia in shaping perceptions, and why travel remains one of the strongest antidotes to fear. Ultimately, Dodgers to Damascus is less a sports memoir and more a sweeping look at a region still wrestling with the consequences of history — and this episode brings that complexity to life. Finally, Chuck hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit several pivotal moments in the history of American conspiracy theories that all fell on the same calendar week, plus he recaps the weekend in college football!

According to conventional history, the last 12,000 years has seen the steady march of progress from primitive savagery to enlightened civilization.In the age of Trump, Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, Xi, Orbán, Netanyahu, Erdoğan, and Khamenei, this story can't be true.Luke Kemp joins me to offer another story, one in which mutual aid is what makes humans special - and what historians call "civilization" is actually the history of domination and coercion.I cannot recommend the book more highly!https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780593321355

Trump rejects regime change in Iran, citing chaos. PBD outlines Iran's untapped economic potential, rips pro-regime romanticizers, and calls for real leadership. The panel warns this may be Iran's last chance in 46 years to achieve freedom, prosperity, and global reintegration.

Jerusalem Post military correspondent Yonah Jeremy Bob, co-author of Target Tehran: How Israel Is Using Sabotage, Cyberwarfare, Assassination—and Secret Diplomacy—to Stop a Nuclear Iran and Create a New Middle East, explains how Israel coordinated hundreds of strikes and infiltrations across Iran, what the U.S. MOP strike on Fordow actually accomplished, and why Netanyahu's longtime caution gave way to a high-stakes gamble. He also delves into internal Israeli debates over assassinating Khamenei, the strategy behind targeting Iran's domestic enforcers, and why the Iranian nuclear threat is now both diminished and more unpredictable Plus: Mamdani's cheerful radicalism, Cuomo's glower, and a reminder that aspirational politics can veer into Theranos territory.
