Pakistan helped the United States contain Soviet power and wage war in Afghanistan. Yet Pakistanis believe America abandoned them once it was no longer useful.Dr. Sidra Khan calls the relationship “instrumental.” She explains how rivalry with India shapes Pakistan's foreign policy… why China offers an alternative to American power… and how decades of war left Pakistanis feeling betrayed and used.In 2026, Pakistan emerged as a mediator between Iran and the United States.Can a relationship built on strategic necessity ever become one built on trust?

Gideon talks to Vali Nasr, author of Iran's Grand Strategy and professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, SAIS, about how the balance of power in the Middle East is changing. After six months of on-off hostilities, Nasr argues, Iran's core aims are unchanged - ending the US threat and securing economic relief. But Iran now looks to have the upper hand and is using its leverage from controlling the Strait of Hormuz to seek ever more far-reaching concessions from the superpower.

Der Osten ist in großen Teilen rechtsoffen, jammert ständig und wünscht sich die DDR zurück: Diese Klischees kennt jeder. Und so oder so ähnlich sieht regelmäßig auch die Berichterstattung in den Medien aus.Das wird den Menschen im Osten von Deutschland nicht gerecht. Vor den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Berlin spricht Jan Schipmann mit der gebürtigen Dresdnerin Rasha Nasr (SPD) über den "echten" Osten.Was kann man dort besonders gut? Warum verfängt DDR-Nostalgie trotz allem noch immer? Und wo liegen die Chancen für einen echten Aufbruch? Das gibts in der heutigen Folge von BENGALOS IM BUNDESTAG.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.grounded.dayWe are beginning Surah al-Mulk. Thirty ayat, two and a half pages. If we have memorised it, we can recite the whole surah in under three minutes.What al-Mulk meansAl-Mulk carries two meanings, and both are correct: kingdom, and dominion. We met the root already in al-Fatihah, at maliki yawmid-din — also recited maaliki yawmid-din. Malik is the king; mulk is the kingdom. So this is the surah of the kingdom.Makki and MadaniSurahs divide into Makki and Madani — revealed before the Hijrah, or after it.This is not a division of geography. A Makki surah need not have been revealed in Mecca, and a Madani surah need not have been revealed in Medina. Surah an-Nasr is the clearest case: idha jaa'a nasrullahi wal-fath, revealed in Mecca, about the conquest of Mecca — and counted as Madani, because it came after the Hijrah.The two categories carry different characters, and we can tell them apart without knowing a word of Arabic.A Makki surah rhymes. It is poetic in sound before it is anything else. Listen to Juz 30, which is almost entirely Makki — ‘Amma yatasa'alun. ‘Ani-n-naba'i-l-‘azim. Alladhi hum fihi mukhtalifun — there is a metre to it. Easy to recite, beautiful to recite, and harder to understand, because Makki vocabulary is higher-grade and does not recur much elsewhere in the Quran. These are words Arabs today do not use daily.Madani surahs run to longer ayat, and the meaning is more accessible.Al-Mulk is Makki. Beyond that we cannot be precise — we rarely know the exact year a surah came down. But the content leans heavily towards warning rather than description of Jannah, and many of the mufassirin read that as late Meccan, when the persecution of the Quraysh had turned violent and stubborn. Early Mecca encourages. When years of encouragement have not moved people, the warning comes.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What the Makki surahs are forTwo things, mostly.Aqidah, which covers three areas. Ilahiyat — Allah and His attributes, and the ayat against shirk. Nubuwwat — establishing the truthfulness of the Prophet ﷺ, including the stories of the prophets before him, which follow an almost identical template: a man respected before prophethood receives revelation, begins to preach, and is opposed by the rich and the powerful. And sam‘iyat — what we can hear of but cannot see.Why do our scholars separate that third category from the first, when we cannot see Allah either? Because the existence of the Creator and the truth of prophethood are established by rational necessity as well as by revelation. There is no equivalent argument establishing that Jannah must exist. What we have is this: reason and revelation together establish that He is our Creator and that He sent revelation to Muhammad ﷺ. So when the Prophet ﷺ tells us there is an Akhirah, we believe him. Everything of the hereafter sits in this category.Akhlaq is the second, and the kind of conduct the Makki surahs address is the kind we recognise innately, through fitrah.Some good is known only through revelation — we know salah is good because Allah revealed it. Fasting, the same. But charity needs no revelation to be recognised: receive someone's charity and we feel it. The same in reverse. Nobody needs to be told stealing is wrong, because even a thief does not like being stolen from. Nobody needs to be told murder is wrong — a murderer will fight for his own life.The Makki surahs strengthen that innate sense. They return again and again to feeding the poor, honouring the orphan, protecting the weak.Which leads somewhere worth sitting with. More than sixty percent of the Quran is Makki — and the bulk of the Quran does not legislate. It does not discuss hijab, or Hajj, or the rulings we tend to treat as the measure of religiosity. The bulk of the Quran is about character.This is why the Prophet ﷺ said: I was sent only to perfect noble character. The Sharia revealed later in Medina strengthens those characters — but the characters themselves were built in Mecca.So a religious person is not measured by how many raka‘at he prays, though prayer is obligatory. Not by the length of his beard, though the beard is Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ said the best of us is the one best to his family, and that the best of people are those most beneficial to people. That is akhlaq.

Professor Vali Nasr argues that the single objective that's driven Tehran since 1979 has been defending its independence from the US. Author of Iran's Grand Strategy, Nasr says that logic, more than ideology, explains the current war. He unpacks Iran's shift toward hard-nosed nationalism, what leverage it has left, and whether the country will take a more pragmatic approach to geopolitics.  Sir Richard Dearlove and guest co-host John Raine talk through the headlines shaping today's geopolitics: Japan's intelligence overhaul, the fallout from Zelensky's clash with his defense minister, China's new AI cooperation push, and the UK's untested new PM Andy Burnham. 03:16 Japan Builds Spy Agency07:35 Ukraine Defense Shakeup11:14 China Pushes AI Rules14:49 New UK Prime Minister18:24 Guest interview begins23:20 From Islam to Nationalism28:15 War Pragmatism and New Leaders32:27 Proxies and Forward Defense38:21 How the War Ends43:43 Gulf Markets and Hormuz48:12 Buying Peace49:49 Energy Shifts and Long Game55:37 One Decision to Watch56:23 Takeaways and Wrap Up Show Notes:  Iran's New Grand Strategy: How a Remade Islamic Republic Will Reshape the Middle East | Foreign Affairs: www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/irans-new-grand-strategy  Hosted by Sir Richard Dearlove (former MI6 Chief) and guest co-host John Raine (International Institute for Strategic Studies) Learn more about your ad choices.

A peça de teatro “Nasr et Dinn” revisita o universo de uma personagem lendária do mundo oriental, famosa pelas suas histórias curtas que misturam humor e sabedoria popular. O espectáculo está no Festival Off Avignon até 25 de Julho e fomos conversar com a actriz Valérie da Mota sobre a peça infantil que aborda temas como a liberdade de pensamento, a tolerância e o espírito crítico. Quem foi Nasreddine Hodja e por que é que as suas histórias continuam a ecoar com os dias de hoje e a serem transformadas em peças de teatro? Foi o que fomos perguntar a Valérie da Mota, actriz e fundadora da companhia de teatro Va Sano Productions, que está pela segunda vez no Festival Off Avignon, agora com a peça “Nasr et Dinn”. O espectáculo revisita o universo desta personagem lendária do mundo oriental, conhecida pelos seus contos morais e divertidos. Interpretada e encenada por Valérie Da Mota e Romans Suarez Pazos, a peça acompanha as aventuras de Nasr, de Dinn e do seu inseparável burro numa viagem repleta de encontros, questões inesperadas e respostas irreverentes. “Estas histórias ensinam-nos a liberdade, a liberdade de estar, a liberdade de crer. Para as crianças, é muito importante saber que você pode ser diferente e que não há nenhum problema, e também para os adultos. Estas histórias também falam da felicidade de estar aqui e não pensar sempre no dia de amanhã, e também falam da fé (...) Temos histórias que falam do poder, histórias que falam de dinheiro e histórias que falam da liberdade”, conta-nos Valérie da Mota, numa esplanada junto ao Collège de La Salle, onde é apresentada a peça “Nasr et Dinn” no âmbito do Festival Off Avignon. Há teatro, música ao vivo, desenho digital e muito humor neste trabalho que parte dos contos de Nasreddine Hodja para abordar temas universais como a liberdade de pensamento, a tolerância e o espírito crítico. “Eu acho que é importante trazer personagens que trazem esta ideia de liberdade, de tolerância, uma personagem também com muita ternura. E o riso que pode trazer sabedoria”, sublinha Valérie da Mota. Oiça a conversa neste programa.

The Iran war may be coming to an end, as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign a framework agreement later this week. That deal should reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the blockade of Iranian ports, even as it leaves unresolved the issues that brought both sides to war in the first place, including the fate of Iran's nuclear program. But policymakers in Washington and other capitals are just starting to confront the ways in which the war has transformed Iran—and how it could transform the Middle East moving forward. In a recent essay for Foreign Affairs, Narges Bajoghli and Vali Nasr argue that members of a new, emboldened generation of Iranian leaders are forging an entirely new approach to their own society, to the United States, and to the region. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke to Bajoghli and Nasr on June 15 about the potential implications of a deal—and about how the last three and a half months of war will shape both the Middle East's trajectory and the future of geopolitics more broadly.  You can find sources, transcripts, and more episodes of The Foreign Affairs Interview at https://www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/foreign-affairs-interview.

Surah 110 Chapter 110 An Nasr complete Quran with Urdu Hindi translation

Despite on-again, off-again negotiations, the United States has no other option but to pursue a diplomatic solution with Iran, argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University. Nasr tells host Steve Clemons that the US-Israel war on Iran has shown the limits of military force. “You don't go to the table to demand surrender. The other side is not going to surrender because they haven't lost. So you have to cut a deal,” Nasr said, adding that Iran's objective is to make sure the US and Israel understand that “war with Iran isn't easy”.

In this interview, Iranian - Australian artist and activist Nasim Nasr discusses art and resistance in the shadow of political repression. Nasr reflects on leaving Iran, her country of birth, as well as her family, and come to Australia in order to pursue a life free of artistic limitation. Through her work, Nasr transforms lived experience into a powerful form of activism by challenging authority, amplifying dissent and redefining what it means to be heard in a politically constrained world.

Shariff Nasr is regisseur, schrijver en stand-up comedian. Hij doet cabaret bij Spijkers met Koppen en Een Stukje. In 2019 maakte hij de documentaire ‘Little Stars of Bethlehem'. Ook heeft hij meerdere korte films gemaakt, waaronder ‘Watch Out' en ‘Fobia'. Met zijn eerste speelfilm ‘El Houb' won hij een Gouden Kalf voor beste scenario. Nu heeft Nasr, samen met Sahil Amar Aïssa, de nieuwe serie ‘Mocros' geproduceerd. De serie gaat over jongeren die hun eigen pad proberen te vinden tussen dromen, verwachtingen en hardnekkige vooroordelen. Femke van der Laan gaat met Shariff Nasr in gesprek.

Three weeks into the war on Iran, the conflict is expanding more than ever.The Strait of Hormuz is closed, energy infrastructure is under attack, and U.S. bases are increasingly vulnerable. Israel and Washington are escalating.According to Middle East expert Vali Nasr, this is actually all part of Iran's strategy.Iran isn't trying to win quickly. To “win” is to survive — and for that it wants to make the war longer, more expensive, and politically unsustainable for the United States.In this conversation with Rania Khalek, Nasr explains:-Why Trump gets weaker the longer the war extends-How energy and Hormuz became the central battlefield-What Washington fundamentally miscalculated-Why regime change is unlikely-The role of Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi factions-And whether any real off-ramp still exists-If this war continues, the consequences won't just be regional, they will be global.

Surah An-Naṣr (Part 2), delivered by Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera as part of The Last Ten Surahs: The Power of the Message (Ramadan 2026 lecture series), builds upon the themes of divine victory and completion by turning inward to the spiritual responsibilities that accompany success. In this session, Dr. Mangera delves deeper into the final verse of the surah, emphasizing the command to glorify Allah, seek His forgiveness, and remain grounded in humility even at the peak of achievement. He explains that the surah not only celebrates the triumph of Islam but also serves as a subtle indication of the Prophet's mission reaching its completion. The talk reflects on how moments of victory are, in reality, moments of accountability—calling believers to self-reflection rather than self-congratulation. Dr. Mangera highlights that true success lies in recognizing one's dependence on Allah, maintaining sincerity, and preparing for what comes next, both individually and collectively. In this series we explore the profound wisdom of the last ten surahs of the Quran during Ramadan 2026. Link to donate: https://www.whitethread.org/donate/

Surah An-Naṣr (Part 1), delivered by Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera as part of The Last Ten Surahs: The Power of the Message (Ramadan 2026 lecture series), introduces the profound message of divine victory and completion conveyed in this short yet powerful surah. In this session, Dr. Mangera explores how the opening verse signals the arrival of Allah's help and the clear triumph of Islam, marked by people entering the faith in large numbers. He explains that this victory is not merely political or social, but a fulfillment of a divine promise. The talk begins to unpack the deeper implications of this moment—highlighting that with success comes humility, gratitude, and a turning back to Allah in praise and seeking forgiveness. In this series we explore the profound wisdom of the last ten surahs of the Quran during Ramadan 2026. Link to donate: https://www.whitethread.org/donate/

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei — Iran's new Supreme Leader? Who was the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?In this episode of the Burn Bag Podcast, A'ndre Gonawela is joined by Vali Nasr, the Majid Khadduri Professor of Middle East Studies and International Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS and one of the leading scholars of Iranian politics and Shia leadership structures.Nasr breaks down the power structure of the Islamic Republic following the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the rise of his son Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new Supreme Leader. The leadership transition comes as the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to escalate, with Tehran threatening to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and expand attacks across the region.In this conversation, Nasr explains:Who Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was and how he shaped modern IranHow the Supreme Leader actually governs inside the Islamic RepublicThe role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iran's power structureWhat Mojtaba Khamenei's leadership means for the regime and the warWho is making wartime decisions inside Iran right nowWhether the conflict represents an existential fight for the Islamic RepublicAs the war intensifies and global energy markets react to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, this episode provides a clear guide to how Iran's leadership thinks — and what it means for the future of the conflict.

Eleven days into the attack on Iran by the United States and Israel, starting on Feb. 28, 2026, I speak with Vali Nasr, a renowned analyst of Iran. He's the author of several books dealing with Iran, including most recently Iran's Grand Strategy: A Political History (Princeton University Press, 2025). Nasr was born in Tehran in 1960 and is currently a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. In our talk, he discusses his surprise at the resilience the Iranian government has so far displayed in the war, as well as the high degree of advance planning the government performed in anticipation of the attack. Although many Iranians do not like the Islamic Republic, he told me, there is nevertheless a resurgent element of Iranian nationalism in Iranian society. The West, he believes, underestimates the cohesion of Iran.

Where are Iran's ayatollahs? The real ayatollahs have not been involved in Iran's government for decades. And Ayatollah Khamenei (son and father) are not real ayatollahs. In this interview, we discuss the following: ►Was Iran's Supreme Leader supposed to be an all-powerful king or a philosopher king? ►What are the real powers of Iran's Supreme Leader? Does he rule by consensus or fiat? ►Have any Iranian presidents ever defied the Supreme Leader? ►Why does Iran have so many non-governmental institutions with so much power? ►How and when did Iran become Shia? ►Who are ayatollahs and why are there so many? ►How has Shiism formed the Iranian identity from the 19th century to now. ►What is about Iran that most Americans (actually, most people) don't understand? *****

Even though the joint United States-Israeli war on Iran is in its early days, “we already are in a scenario where the US has lost control of this war,” argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University. Nasr tells host Steve Clemons that Iran is the weaker party, but it “has the capability to create a much longer mayhem” than envisioned by the US and Israel. US goals for this war may be unclear, but “Israel's goal is to arrive at a point where it's the supreme power in the Mideast”, says Nasr.

In an age where truth is smothered by political agendas and mainstream silence, today's episode tears through the deception with unrelenting clarity. We start by exposing the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, a devoted mother and immigrant, killed on Charlotte's light rail. While corporate media buries her story, voices like Elon Musk and Rep. Randy Fine are sounding the alarm, calling out judges and prosecutors who allow dangerous criminals to walk free. We'll unravel this injustice, confront the double standards, and pose the critical question: what if the victim and perpetrator were reversed? Next, we sit down for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Dr. George Nasr, Associate Professor of Engineering at Notre-Dame University in Lebanon and former technical advisor to Canada's National Research Council. A leading authority on hydrostrategy, Dr. Nasr reveals how control over water and energy—particularly Israel's focus on the Hasbani River and offshore gas fields—is reshaping warfare and geopolitics. His expert analysis of Israel's AI-driven military tactics and the 2024 Lebanon War offers a rare glimpse into the resource wars redefining the Middle East. This is a conversation you can't afford to miss. We wrap with a powerful call to action for every patriot who values justice. Tina Peters, a Gold Star Mom, courageous grandmother and election integrity advocate, languishes in prison for challenging a corrupt system. We're launching a Fax Blast to Congress, demanding her freedom and exposing the chilling precedent her persecution sets. Blending urgent reporting, unparalleled expertise, and bold activism, this episode is an urgent Summons. Get ready—this is Joe Untamed.
