As U.S. and Israeli forces continue to dimmish Iran's military capabilities, Tehran is moving towards more asymmetrical warfare with cyberattacks and the cutting off of the important trade route of the Straight of Hormuz. Iran's proxy groups using low end drones and speedboats to attack on U.S. and other Mideast nation's owned oil and energy infrastructures aim to damage the worked economy. Meanwhile, a U.S. medical device company, Stryker, confirmed they experienced a cyberattack focused on their Microsoft platform that shares patient information and real time data. More cyberattacks, like the one on Stryker, are feared to be coming as politically motivated hackers act like digital sleeper cells. FOX's Jonathan Savage speaks with Bill Udell, former CIA Operations Officer and Analyst, and the Chief Executive Officer, The Americas at Control Risks, bringing expertise in risk management and international operations, who says Iran's low sophisticated weaponry and attack capabilities could still cause major problems.

Mary welcomes back author and prophecy expert Britt Gillette to help us count the cost of the Mideast war. There is no getting around the fact that any war has economic shockwaves, but in the oil slick of the world there is always potential for extended aftershocks. As if we need more hotspots, we talk about the “wider war”, and what that means. First, we define the nature of the war, because once it gets going, we tend to forget how we got here. From there we take an off-ramp and talk about oil and the Persian Gulf, along with the Strait of Hormuz. What happens when energy costs skyrocket? Everything falls in domino style, trickling down to our grocery prices and how much truckers have to pay for their trucking to our doors. What is Kharg Island? What does the Revolutionary Guard have to do with that? Will Israel invade Lebanon? Will Israel sacrifice a lamb on the Temple Mount on Passover? We have to add all that into the mix because nothing is a given when it comes to the Middle East.

The International Energy Agency has recommended a release of 400 million barrels of oil from stockpiles, the largest such move in its history. The IEA said all 32 member countries backed the release.
The widening war in Iran is rattling the global economy and sending gas prices soaring. One expert calls it the biggest oil supply disruption ever. Crude prices surged past the $100 a barrel mark for the first time in four years, before retreating. On average, Americans are now paying $0.50 more per gallon since before the war began ten days ago, and new attacks on oil targets across the Mideast are sparking worldwide fear that prices will climb even higher.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with author and public intellectual Micah Goodman. In the sixth day of the United States and Israel's joint war against the Iranian Islamic Republic, Goodman takes stock and allows himself to wonder: What if we actually won this war against the evil regime? We discuss the trickle effect on the Iranian people, the Mideast region and the world at large. At this historic juncture, Goodman is hopeful that not only will World War III be averted, but peace may come to the region as Israel's existential threats are neutralized. And so this week, we ask Micah Goodman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Michael Lee, founder of Michael Lee Strategy, joins FOX Business Contributor Lou Basenese to discuss the jobs data, the Mideast conflict's impact on energy, and why investors have reasons to be optimistic despite some of the recent economic headlines. Then, Lee discusses which AI companies he's watching and why the fear of AI killing software jobs may be overblown. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Ayatollah Khameini is dead in a missile strike. The U.S. and Israel are effectively at war with Iran. Trump and his administration, hawkish on Iran, pursue peace through force with Operation Epic Fury. This week, the guys sit down to hash out the military and trade implications in the Mideast region, and the quagmire of political considerations back home—including presidential powers and an impotent Congress at the forefront. Europe's response, meanwhile, betrays its continued decline and unreliability.Recommended:Trump Was Always an Iran HawkWatch with video on Youtube This is a public episode.

Have we just entered into a season that is one of the most unpredictable since the Shah was overthrown in 1979? Even with the strength that President Reagan showed in releasing the American hostages from Iran’s volatile and brutal grip back then, perhaps President Trump has shown the most courage and resolve we have seen in decades with his Operation Fury to take out the wicked Ayatollah “Haman” Khameini. While some of the leftier among us are crying outrage just because it’s Trump, most citizens of the globe recognize the fact that the world, and the Mideast in particular, need LESS Khameinis, not more – or even one – and clearly Trump agrees. Siding with a tyrannical Islamic regime that kills its own is a form of insanity that no one can defend from a human standpoint. At any rate, God is working, because if it is as late as we think it is, it’s all part of Bible prophecy. Back in the 70s, for less than one dollar, one could purchase a Bic lighter and set stuff on fire easily. In today’s Mideast, with hatred all around stewing and brewing, especially for Israel, it doesn’t take much more than one of those to invoke a regional war. Tim and Mary invite you to be watching and waiting with them on our weekly Headline Days.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied that Israel dragged the US into war with Iran, insisting that if anything, the opposite could be true and that he felt Iran was going to attack first. These remarks come as politicians and media influencers on both sides of the US aisle condemn "Israel's war" and point their fingers at the Jewish state. In the first half of the program, we take a deep dive into Iran's greater existential threat to the Mideast -- and the world at large. Which nations appear to start internalizing that the extremist Islamist nation may actually do what it threatens it will? In the second half, we talk about the opportunity afforded at this time for Iranians to rise up and change their regime. It would be, posits Horovitz, more possible to see some form of "total victory" against the terror regime, as opposed to wiping out Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
