President Donald Trump and his administration and allies have sent mixed messages about the war with Iran in the first two weeks of the operation. The Secretary of Defense called it war. Now, the Speaker of the House said thus conflict with Iran is not a war.Whatever the president decides to call the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign – it's cost the lives of 13 American troops and more than 2,000 people in the Middle East, both civilians and military personnel.Congress has voted on a resolution to limit the president's power to continue this campaign – but that effort failed. And the president hasn't indicated he wants Congress to weigh in. Many Republican members appear unbothered by that fact. At least in public.What does Trump owe Congress as far as buy-in on war? And how have past presidents involved the legislative branch when deploying the military?Find more of our programs online.

Getting into war is easy. Getting out of a war is another issue. Regardless of how we see the events that led us into the war with Iran, we cannot afford another sustained war in the Middle East. We need to be looking for off ramps, and those will not be easy. Change is before... that will transform the way we are viewed in the world and how we see ourselves.

Today's Headlines: Three weeks into the Iran "excursion" — Trump's word, not ours — and there's no end in sight. Trump claimed Iran asked for a ceasefire; Iran said that didn't happen. Either way, 5,000 more marines and three more warships are headed to the region, joining the 50,000 U.S. troops already there. Oil is stuck at $100 a barrel, every country Trump asked to help escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz said no, and the U.S. bombed Iran's Kharg Island oil hub — which Trump said he might hit "a few more times just for fun," as one does. Iran fired a missile at an Italian base in Iraq's Kurdistan region, a drone killed a French soldier in the same area, and Emmanuel Macron had to call Tehran to say that's unacceptable. At home, a federal judge blocked the DOJ's attempt to criminally investigate Fed Chair Jerome Powell, ruling it was a pretext to pressure the Fed on interest rates — the Trump administration is appealing. The FCC chair threatened to pull local TV licenses over Iran war coverage he doesn't like, and Trump threatened media outlets on social media for the same reason. Neither has real teeth yet, but that's sort of the point. Meanwhile, a viral six-hour deposition of two former DOGE employees revealed they used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 grants to cut — including ones for Black civil rights documentaries and Holocaust research — with zero government or academic experience between them. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration will collect a $10 billion fee from the TikTok deal — on an app valued at roughly $14 billion total. Palantir's CEO went on CNBC to brag that his AI will shift economic power away from educated women who vote Democratic. Kash Patel announced the FBI will now train with UFC fighters. Marco Rubio is on the witness list in his close friend's federal trial for acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Venezuela. A Florida Democrat won the Boca Raton mayoral race by one vote, and the Republican loser said he'd "sleep on" whether to accept the results. And a UCLA study found that diverse film casts outperform at the box office — which landed the same weekend the Oscars completely snubbed Sinners.

Donald Trump launched a late-night and early-morning barrage of attacks against the Supreme Court of the United States, NATO, and the media as tensions grow around the escalating conflict involving Iran.As the war continues, the U.S. appears increasingly isolated internationally. Long-time allies like Australia and Japan have publicly declined to participate in military operations in the Middle East, leaving the United States and Israel largely alone in the effort.Meanwhile, questions continue to mount about potential U.S. troop involvement and casualties. Reporters have pressed Trump about American soldiers and whether “boots on the ground” are coming, but answers remain unclear.At the same time, divisions are growing within the MAGA movement itself, with some supporters questioning the direction of the war and America's role overseas.In this video, we break down:Trump's overnight social media attacksWhy U.S. allies are refusing to join the warThe growing political split within MAGAWhat this means for America's position on the global stageStay tuned as we analyze the latest developments and what could come next.

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. Political reporter Ariela Karmel joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode. As the Knesset increases its activity during the war, Karmel discusses the subjects up for debate, including controversial legislation regarding the politically appointed probe into the October 7 massacre. Following last week’s announcement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to enact a 3% cut across the budget to bolster defense spending, including the earmarked funds for the long-awaited rehabilitation of the northern communities, Karmel discusses the contentious debate from the residents, coalition and opposition. Karmel also reports on the severe lack of shelters in the Bedouin communities, predating October 7, brought to the forefront during the June war with Iran, and now leaving two-thirds of the community without any access to shelter during the current war. Check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing liveblog for more updates.

President Donald Trump is calling on about seven countries that rely heavily on oil from the Middle East to band together to open up the Strait of Hormuz. The call to come together to protect the waterway is an escalation of Trump's efforts to expand the scope of the countries involved in the conflict with Iran. But thus far, there has been little to no interest from other countries to join the fight. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and Adam Wren discuss the stakes of Trump's latest gambit.

Starting the third week of the war in the Middle East, Morgan Stanley's chief of U.S. equity strategy Mike Wilson discusses the energy and broader markets and considers the likelihood of a recession in the short term. On the ground in Dubai, CNBC's Dan Murphy reports on Iran's strikes on the UAE's critical energy infrastructure and transportation hub. The Strait of Hormuz is pivotal to the conflict; President Trump is reportedly planning a coalition of naval escorts through the channel key for the world's energy supply. Michelle Caruso-Cabrera offers her perspective on the oil markets, investor sentiment, and geopolitics. Plus, the U.S. and China are holding trade talks in Paris, and a federal judge has blocked subpoenas to the Federal Reserve in the criminal investigation of Jerome Powell.    Steve Liesman - 13:13 Mike Wilson - 19:12 Michelle Caruso-Cabrera - 27:48   In this episode: Dan Murphy, @dan_murphy Steve Liesman, @steveliesman Robert Frank, @robtfrank Michael Santoli, @michaelsantoli Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The BBC's Africa Eye embeds with Puntland forces in Somalia's northeastern Al-Miskaad mountains as they fight Islamic State (IS) militants. Nearly a decade after its defeat in the Middle East, IS has spread across Africa. Somalia's semi-autonomous region of Puntland has become a key hub, with the UN estimating that IS in Somalia was comprised of up to 800 fighters last year. Over half of these militants were believed to be foreign recruits.We also look at the rising number of Egyptians migrating irregularly to Europe. Victims' families said that smugglers were demanding thousands of dollars, sometimes issuing death threats, leaving loved ones living in fear. Egyptians now represent the largest African group entering the European Union (EU) and the second largest globally, after Bangladeshis. This episode explores what's behind this surge in migration.Presenter : Nkechi Ogbonna Producer: Ayuba Iliya Technical Producer: David Njenga Kinyanjui Senior Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

Dutch political economist Kees van der Pijl analyzes the volatile shifting of global power, focusing on the Middle East conflict involving Israel, Iran, and the U.S. He argues Israel has superseded the EU in the Atlantic relationship with the U.S., leading to a strategy where the U.S. increasingly fights wars to benefit Israeli interests. Van der Peel explores the possibility of false flag operations and the use of technological control systems to manage domestic populations through a state of permanent emergency. He also suggests hypersonic missile technology and drone warfare have fundamentally altered military superiority, potentially signaling the decline of Western imperial dominance. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the historical context of Israeli investments in global IT and intelligence sectors as a means of maintaining geopolitical leverage. Overarching themes include popular resistance in Europe and the emergence of a new multipolar world order led by BRICS.

On today's episode I welcome Nitsan Joy Gordon, a dance movement therapist, IFS practitioner, and peacebuilder who lives in Israel. Nitsan shares about growing up in Israel, living near the border, and what it's like to live in a place where war and trauma have been part of daily life for generations. She also tells the story of how Internal Family Systems changed her own life. A powerful experience at Esalen with Dick Schwartz inspired her to use IFS in her work back home. Nitsan leads Together Beyond Words, an organization bringing Israelis and Palestinians together to transform pain through deep listening and connection. Her work is guided by the belief that pain that is not transformed is transmitted. After the attacks of October 7 and the immense grief and trauma that followed, Nitsan realized the need for healing had grown beyond what her organization had been doing. Today nearly 80 volunteers are offering ongoing support, and dozens of groups have been created where Israelis and Palestinians can process trauma, grief, and fear together. As you listen, I invite you to notice your own parts. What comes up for you as you hear these stories? What do you feel in your body? For me, this conversation was a reminder of the power of curiosity, one-on-one connection, and the courage it takes to stay present and open in our divided world. In This Episode We Talk About: • What it's like living in Israel today. • Nitsan's organization Together Beyond Words, which brings Israelis and Palestinians together to transform pain through shared healing. • The idea that "pain that is not transformed is transmitted." • A powerful IFS session she had with Dick Schwartz. • How the events of October 7 changed her work. • Why people need separate spaces to grieve before they can reunite. • When she realized the level of trauma requires an "army of healers." • How the Healing for Peace initiative grew from a handful of volunteers to nearly 80. • Why facilitators working in conflict zones are learning IFS tools like unblending and working with polarizations. About Nitsan Joy Gordon Nitsan Joy Gordon is a Dance/Movement Therapist, IFS therapist, and peacebuilder who has been working in Israel/Palestine for over three decades. Her work lives at the meeting point of movement, deep listening, and compassionate presence, creating spaces where pain shaped by conflict can be felt, witnessed, and transformed. She is the author of Together Beyond Words: Women on a Quest for Peace in the Middle East and the initiator of Army of Healers, an offering of safe spaces to feel and heal across deep divides. Learn more at: Together Beyond Words.

Tara exposes how Democrats are siding with Iran while attacking Trump, manipulating public perception, and ignoring skyrocketing gas prices. From military operations in the Middle East to skewed late-night comedy narratives, this episode reveals the hidden realities the media won't tell you. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara breaks down the weekend's political and military developments, showing how Democrats are prioritizing propaganda over national security. She explains how the party paints Americans and Trump as “terrorists” while ignoring Iran, the world's top state sponsor of terrorism. Tara highlights the impact of the Iran conflict on U.S. gas prices, noting that averages are back to Biden-era highs, and argues this aligns with Democrats' broader strategy to push Americans toward electric vehicles. She also debunks media coverage of Iran, including misinformation about Mostaba Khomeini's health and leadership status, showing how outlets continue to treat him as a credible threat despite reports he is in a coma and incapacitated. Additionally, Tara examines late-night comedy and media coverage, noting how Iran has become off-limits, while Americans are mocked instead, creating a “fake reality” for viewers. She frames this manipulation as part of a larger Democratic alignment with Iran, undermining U.S. interests both domestically and abroad. KEY TALKING POINTS Democrats prioritize messaging against Trump over calling Iran a terrorist state Gas prices spike back to Biden-era averages amid Iran conflict Media continues to misrepresent Mostaba Khomeini as a military threat despite being incapacitated Late-night comedy targets U.S. and allies while Iran is treated as untouchable Democrats' strategy aligns with long-term goals to influence public opinion and policy Military updates: Operation Epic Fury, nuclear and missile targets, friendly-fire incidents from allies The “fake reality” created by media and politicians skews public understanding of war and energy policy SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Democrats siding with Iran? Gas prices back to Biden-era highs? Tara exposes media lies, political propaganda, and the real story behind the Iran conflict. CUSTOM LABELS Iran, Democrats, Trump, Gas Prices, Media Bias, Operation Epic Fury, Mostaba Khomeini, Military Updates, Propaganda, Late Night Comedy

While the world focuses on Trump and Iran, Israel is quietly fighting a multi-front war across the Middle East. Tara explains how Israeli operations against Hezbollah, Iranian proxies, and nuclear scientists are preventing a regional explosion—and why their actions are allowing the U.S. to focus on dismantling Iran's core military and energy infrastructure. From intelligence operations to potential U.S. Marines securing Carg Island, this episode breaks down the real strategy unfolding behind the headlines and why this moment could reshape global power, energy markets, and America's role as the world's dominant superpower. SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara highlights the crucial role Israel is playing in the broader conflict with Iran—an effort largely overlooked in media coverage. As U.S. forces strike Iranian infrastructure, Israel is simultaneously engaging Iranian proxies across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups funded by Tehran. Tara explains that without Israel absorbing much of the proxy conflict, the United States could already be fighting wars across multiple countries. Israeli intelligence operations, powered by the renowned Mossad network, have targeted Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, and regime operatives while drones hunt down regime shock troops block by block. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the strategic objective of Carg Island, the hub of Iran's oil export infrastructure. Military analysts suggest a limited deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines could secure the island—effectively collapsing Iran's economic lifeline by cutting off most of its oil exports. Tara warns that while the U.S. and its allies cannot lose militarily, the greatest threat is the court of public opinion. Any American casualties could become a political flashpoint exploited by critics to halt operations before the regime is fully dismantled. Finally, she explores the global implications: weakening China's access to discounted Iranian oil, shifting alliances in the Middle East, pressure on Russia and Europe, unrest in authoritarian states like Cuba and Venezuela, and a potential turning point that could restore America as the undisputed global superpower. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel fighting Iran's proxy forces across multiple countries Hezbollah strikes and potential Israeli ground operations in Lebanon Mossad intelligence enabling targeted strikes on Iranian leadership Iranian nuclear scientists eliminated to prevent proliferation Drone warfare targeting regime shock troops inside Iran Strategic importance of Carg Island to Iran's oil exports Possible deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines to secure the island Economic collapse risk for Iran if oil distribution is cut off China's weakening influence and internal political purges Global ripple effects: Middle East alliances, Russia, NATO, and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB While the world watches Iran, Israel is fighting the war nobody's talking about.

From the Middle East to global energy markets, Tara breaks down the strategic moves reshaping the world. Learn how Israel and the U.S. are countering Iran, the risks for Marines on the ground, the geopolitical ripple effects on Russia, China, and Venezuela, and why Democrats are panicking over Trump's energy moves. Plus, get insights on flu and COVID vaccines and what the CDC isn't emphasizing. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara dives deep into international conflict, energy policy, and public health: Middle East & Iran War: The new Iranian leadership has not been publicly seen—proof of life remains unverified. Israel plays a pivotal role in countering Iran and Hezbollah, carrying out strikes, intelligence operations, and targeted removals of Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. ground operations may be deployed in key strategic areas like the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to cripple Iran's oil economy. The broader regional impact spans 12 countries, influencing alliances with Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Energy & Oil Policy: Trump's moves to lift certain Russian oil sanctions are set to drop global oil prices, reversing Democrat-inflated energy costs caused by prior sanctions. These shifts have major implications for U.S. households, global oil markets, and geopolitical power, including China's economic positioning and Russia's oil influence. Public Health Spotlight: Flu vaccines: 200–250 reported deaths annually, possibly up to 1,000 due to underreporting; CDC reports vaccine effectiveness as low as 25% and often readjusted downward over time. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare but dangerous blood clots, with media coverage downplaying the risks. Tara emphasizes informed consent and questioning medical advice. Domestic Security & Policy: Highlights recent terror-related incidents in the U.S., including attacks linked to Hezbollah and ISIS, and how failures in immigration and gun law enforcement contributed. Straw purchasing and federal gun enforcement policies under Biden are analyzed as contributing factors to domestic security vulnerabilities. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's intelligence and military operations against Iran and Hezbollah Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations Trump's energy policy and lifting of Russian oil sanctions Impact on global oil prices, Russia, China, India, and NATO CDC data on flu and COVID vaccine effectiveness and risks Domestic terror threats, immigration policy failures, and gun enforcement issues SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB From Iran to oil markets, Israel to U.S. Marines, Tara exposes the strategies reshaping the world

The battle for the Strait of Hormuz could determine the future of global energy—and the outcome of the war with Iran. Tara explains why this strategic chokepoint matters far beyond the Middle East and why Iran's only real path to victory may be political pressure inside the United States. With reports that U.S. Marines could deploy to secure Kharg Island and Iran's missile attacks dropping sharply, Tara breaks down the latest military developments and why analysts say the campaign has been far more successful than critics claim. At the same time, Tara questions media narratives about Iran gaining the “upper hand” while reports suggest the regime's leadership may be incapacitated and its military infrastructure heavily degraded. The real fight now, she argues, is over public opinion—both in America and among global allies whose willingness to stand with the United States could shape the post-war world. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara examines the strategic and political stakes of the conflict with Iran, focusing on the critical importance of the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow waterway serves as one of the world's most vital energy corridors, and Iran has long treated it as leverage against the global economy. Military analysts warn that securing nearby Kharg Island—which handles the overwhelming majority of Iran's oil exports—could effectively cut off Tehran's economic lifeline. Reports suggest the United States may deploy several hundred Marines in a limited operation to secure the island after extensive strikes weakened Iranian defenses. Tara explains why such an operation carries risk, particularly in a political environment where even limited casualties could shift public opinion at home. The episode also explores reports that Iranian missile and drone attacks have dropped significantly and that analysts see little evidence the regime is holding back a hidden arsenal for a final strike. Tara questions media narratives suggesting Iran is gaining the upper hand, noting the uncertainty surrounding the country's leadership after the death of the Ayatollah and reports that his successor may be incapacitated. Beyond the battlefield, Tara argues the conflict is exposing deeper geopolitical tensions. She discusses President Trump's call for international support to secure shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz and suggests the request is as much a test of global alliances as a military necessity. The episode concludes with a broader look at America's strategic position in the world and why the political battle surrounding the war may ultimately prove just as consequential as the military one. KEY TALKING POINTS Why the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical energy choke points Iran's strategy of using global oil markets as leverage The strategic importance of Kharg Island in the conflict Reports of a potential limited Marine operation to secure the island Declining Iranian missile and drone attacks Questions surrounding Iran's leadership stability The political battle for public opinion in the United States How the conflict could reshape global alliances and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB The war with Iran may hinge on one tiny waterway. Tara explains why the Strait of Hormuz—and the fight for Kharg Island—could decide the conflict and reshape global energy.

Tara breaks down today's top stories: Israel's covert and overt operations against Iran, the strategic moves reshaping oil markets, domestic security failures, and what you're not being told about flu and COVID vaccines. From geopolitics to public health, this episode exposes the untold connections influencing your world. SUMMARY Middle East & Iran Conflict: Iran's new leadership remains unseen publicly; proof of life is still demanded by many. Israel is leading covert operations, striking Hezbollah targets across Lebanon and taking out key Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. forces may be deployed in strategic zones, like the Strait of Hormuz, to control oil flow and pressure Iran economically. Regional conflict impacts 12+ countries, influencing Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Israel's intelligence and military actions prevent a broader escalation and protect U.S. strategic interests. Global Energy & Oil Markets: Trump's lifting of Russian oil sanctions threatens to dramatically lower global oil prices, reversing artificial inflation caused by prior sanctions. Lower oil prices impact U.S. households, the global economy, and geopolitical leverage, including pressure on China and Russia. Democrats are panicking over oil price drops and the potential shift in global energy control. Public Health Insights: Flu vaccines: CDC reports 20–25 deaths per year, potentially underreported by 10x, with effectiveness as low as 25%. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare blood clots; media coverage downplays risks and avoids full disclosure. Tara emphasizes informed consent, questioning medical guidance, and reviewing CDC data critically. Domestic Security & Policy Failures: Terror incidents in the U.S., including individuals with Hezbollah contacts, highlight gaps in immigration and gun enforcement policies. Straw purchasing loopholes and DOJ enforcement failures contributed to weapons ending up in criminal hands. Biden-era policies are analyzed as exacerbating domestic vulnerability to terrorist threats. Political Context & Strategy: U.S. global strategy is reshaping alliances, constraining Iran, and influencing energy flows. Trump's moves in energy, military readiness, and sanctions highlight contrasts with prior administration policies. Changes affect global power structures, including NATO, Russia, China, and Latin America, creating a pivotal historical inflection point. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's multi-front operations in Lebanon and Iran Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations in the Middle East Global oil markets and Russian sanctions reversal Vaccine safety, CDC reporting, and public awareness Domestic security, immigration, and gun enforcement failures Broader geopolitical effects on NATO, China, Russia, and Latin America SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Israel strikes, Iran tensions, global oil shocks

David Waldman celebrates our return on Monday the 16th after cutting up all weekend. Greg Dworkin asks, what have we done? Really? Is that the rule? Is that the goal now? We are about sick of winning and winning and winning our massive multiplayer war with Iran and just about everyone else in the world, though for some reason as our hit points go up, our health bar continues to shrink. The problem is those kind might not understand that they've lost until the mainstream media agrees to broadcast our victory dances. How many years will we have to win this thing before the world envies Trump as completely as he requires? Some suggest nukes are in order, yet few agree on where to drop them. Trump's domestic war of vengeance is going about as well, as grand juries keep refusing to charge those that the DOJ are targeting. Pete Hegseth's Fox drinking buddy Jeanine Pirro persecutes 90% of those in her path, it's not her fault no one wants to join in. On the other hand, Trump defense attorney John Lauro is sad about everyone treating his boss like a crook. What made Minnesota such a target, and what makes it a solution? Everyone should take notes. What lessons can we learn from last Tuesday's Texas primary? A New Jersey Republican is running against Trump. Democrats might get the courage to run against Bibi. It's an easy decision to run against tariffs. Jared Qushnar adds his own hustle to Middle East peace talks once he figured out that their peace was getting in the way of his profit.

I don't worry about the weekends anymore. I feel GREAT knowing that Trump is on top of everything.Little things get handled, and we don't have to guess on the big things. If you ignore the fake news media, you will sleep like you're in a coma!But Democrats. Those suckers sleep like crack babies…wake up every two hours screaming.They have NO COVER! They pray that they are not found out, but who are they praying to? LUCIFER? Because God is NOT on their side.They pray for a bad economy. Cheer higher gas prices. They want Iran to win against the Middle East.They want murder and mayhem in the street, food lines, they need CHAOS!We won't know when Iran is finished until Trump tells us they are finished. And I predict they will be finished soon. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Gold is the source of wealth of last resort. It's your insurance policy,” says Lobo Tiggre, principal analyst and editor of IndependentSpeculator.com. In the interview with Daniela Cambone, Tiggre argues that the recent correction in precious metals is a healthy pause, not the end of the bull run. "I have been looking for some period of correction and consolidation," he states, noting that "anytime something pulls a hockey stick... some correction and consolidation wouldn't be surprising."While gold serves as insurance, Tiggre sees even greater upside potential in silver. "If you want to say, 'OK, well, if you're gonna adjust silver for inflation, we still haven't hit an all-time high, so it has to go much higher,' like last I saw, the CPI-adjusted all-time high for silver was $200 an ounce. So we're nowhere near the top."Beyond the metals, Tiggre offers a stark macro view, suggesting the conflict in the Middle East introduces a new variable, but warns investors to "not exactly look through it, but correct for it." Watch the interview to learn more about what he predicts for uranium, copper, and the resource cycle's next move.

In this episode, guest host Ben Whedon engages in a compelling conversation with retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, a former DoD intelligence official and CIA officer. We delve into the current state of national security, discussing the presence of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S., the implications of recent conflicts in the Middle East, and the role of local law enforcement in counterterrorism efforts.Next, Ben welcomes back Dr. Walid Phares, a former foreign policy advisor to President Trump, as we delve into the recent developments in global politics, particularly focusing on the escalating tensions in the Middle East. Dr. Phares offers insights into the military operations involving Israel and Iran, the implications of these actions, and the potential for a credible opposition to the current Iranian regime.Finally, Ben sits down with Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum, to discuss the current tensions surrounding Iran and the implications of U.S. foreign policy. We explore the motivations behind military actions, the complexities of negotiations, and the potential impacts on regional stability.

After President Trump said Iran seemed ready to make a deal to end the war but the terms weren't good enough, Tehran has been carrying out further missile and drone strikes on US allies across the Middle East. The Iranian foreign minister has denied that Iran has targeted civilian or residential areas in the Middle East - only US military targets. And he said the war would end when Iran was "certain" it could not be repeated. We hear from our Persian service correspondent about what she makes of these claims, and what people inside Iran are worrying about. Also: Iran warns the United Arab Emirates to begin evacuating the port zones in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah. So are people heeding these warnings? We hear from our correspondent in Dubai. Tehran continues to fire missiles towards Israel, most of which were intercepted by air defences. But at least one got through, as we hear from our correspondent in Tel Aviv. And how the war is impacting the oil industry and pushing up prices - we hear how increased use of wind and solar energy could give consumers more predictability in terms of cost.

Today on the program, Fareed's exclusive interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his country's important, albeit unlikely, role in the Iran War: as Iranian-designed drones are fired across the Middle East - the very same drones used by Russia against Ukraine for years - Kyiv has sent military experts to the Gulf to help bring the drones down.   Then, how can we expect the war in Iran to unfold from here? Carnegie Senior Fellow Karim Sadjadpour and Lisa Anderson, international affairs professor at Columbia, join Fareed to discuss.   Finally, the war has triggered one of the worst oil shocks in decades, as Tehran continues to attack commercial ships and oil infrastructure across the region. Fareed speaks to Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, about which countries are most exposed, and which ones are set to benefit.   GUESTS: Volodymyr Zelensky (@ZelenskyyUa); Karim Sadjadpour (@ksadjadpour); Lisa Anderson; Jason Bordoff (@JasonBordoff) Learn more about your ad choices.

War reveals who people are—the best of us and the worst of us. In this special episode, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, sounding the alarm about Trump's reckless march toward war with Iran, the extremism driving today's culture wars, and the urgent need for real leadership and accountability. Fresh off hits on NewsNation and Stephen Colbert, he explains why this could actually be one of the most unifying moments in recent American history—even as the drumbeats of war grow louder in the Middle East and chaos spreads at home, with opposition to a new war in Iran rising from NFL legends like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to conservatives like Newt Gingrich and unlikely critics like Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon.​ Rieckhoff digs into how Trump and his allies have crossed into every part of American culture—sports, entertainment, even Spongebob—and why the backlash matters, from the growing popularity of opposing ICE to a broad public rejection of another Middle East war and the central role of independents—now roughly 45% of the country—in defending core American values. He goes deep on the stakes for veterans and military families, including alarming new moves by the VA to put homeless veterans under guardianship and a broader effort to turn the Pentagon into the tip of the spear for an extreme culture war—from banning books and rolling back women's rights to pushing Christian nationalism—calling it the most dangerous course for America's future and a test for politicians, retired generals, civic leaders, and every independent American -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

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. Health reporter Diana Bletter joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In improved pop-up clinics, underground parking lots converted to wards and fortified operating rooms, hospitals and health clinics around the country are once again providing services under fire since the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28.

In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex and Scott speak with ABWE missionaries “Will and Beth McAuliffe” (pseudonyms) about their long journey toward serving among Arabic-speaking people. After years of preparation and ministry in the Middle East, their plans were unexpectedly disrupted when their daughter was born extremely premature with significant medical complications. The experience forced them to leave the field and wrestle with whether their missionary calling had changed, ultimately leading them to new refugee ministry opportunities in Europe. Now living in Berlin, Germany, where thousands of Arabic-speaking refugees have settled, Will and Beth are creating unique opportunities for gospel ministry. Despite the challenges of a deeply secular culture and compassion fatigue toward refugees, they are building relationships, showing practical love, and pursuing church planting among Arabic-speaking communities across the city. Key Topics Will and Beth's lifelong calling to missions and ministry in the Middle East Navigating family hardships and their missionary calling after a medical crisis Reaching Arabic-speaking refugees in Germany The spiritual challenges of secular Europe and refugee ministry Do you love The Missions Show?
