Stanford's Allen Weiner examines how the U.S. war with Iran raises questions about the president's power to wage war and negotiate peace. --- The American war with Iran began with ambitious goals, including preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and potentially bringing about regime change. But the conflict may well be leading to a very different outcome, according to Stanford Law School's Allen Weiner, a scholar of international and human rights law and former State Department lawyer. Just prior to the recent collapse of the tenuous cease fire, Weiner joined podcast host Professor Pam Karlan to discuss how the conflict is arguably strengthening Iran's most repressive factions while putting economic and diplomatic pressure on the United States. Weiner traces how the conflict grew out of the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal, asks whether the new agreement with Iran amounts to a weaker version of that accord, and considers how ceasefires and shifting legal rationales have allowed the administration to sidestep Congress and keep the War Powers clock from running out.

In a world where diplomatic tensions are at an all-time high, we must confront the alarming rhetoric emanating from powerful leaders. Recently, Trump launched an outrageous tirade about NATO, Spain, and Iran, even going so far as to threaten Greenland and Cuba. This is not just political posturing; it poses a real threat to global stability.Fortunately, the Prime Minister of Denmark and Danish media are standing strong, pushing back against these dangerous claims. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is reaffirming Canada's steadfast NATO commitments, exemplifying what true leadership looks like in these unpredictable times. In USA news, another ICE killing in the streets alarms both guests and speaks to the fascist state of America today! Join Lars Roesen of Denmark and Host Laura Babcock as they critically assess the implications of these threats to Greenland, Denmark, and Canada. Together, they will unravel the web of lies and fear that has woven itself through Trump's America, advocating for the truth and logic that our world desperately needs right now.By engaging in this vital conversation, we can take a stand against the rise of authoritarianism and misinformation.

Next week's NATO Summit in Ankara is expected to showcase Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rising influence within the alliance, as he aims to use the gathering to overcome resistance to crucial arms deals and highlight the rapid growth of Turkey's defence industry. Boasting NATO's second-largest army and sharing borders with flashpoints from Ukraine to the Middle East, Turkey is at the heart of the alliance's future amid doubts about the United States' commitment to European defence. “It is a paradigm shift,” says international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. With European and North American leaders attending the summit, on 7 and 8 July, Bagci predicts Erdogan will use the opportunity to cement Turkey's pivotal role. “The NATO summit will be a good instrument for Erdogan to show Turkish domestic politics, as well as international politics, that he is one of the medium-power leaders in the world with whom you have to deal." Europe, Asia driving surge in global military spending: report Defence deals Major arms deals are expected to make headlines at the summit. US President Donald Trump – attending out of what he calls respect for Erdogan – is not likely to come empty-handed. "The administration is eager to deliver something to Erdogan," says Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a US-based think tank. Trump and Erdogan are expected to sign a $700 million deal for the sale of around 80 GE F-110 fighter jet engines. The sale would be a major breakthrough for Ankara in its ambitious Fifth Generation fighter jet project. “The Kaan fighter jet, Turkey's domestic fighter, is powered at least in the first iteration by the F-110. And so getting these engines would be important for the development of that fighter,” explained Stein. Ankara is investing billions of euros into the Kaan jet, but without enough engines critics have mockingly called it the world's priciest glider. Congressional roadblocks, fuelled by influential Israeli and Greek lobbies, have stalled the engine deal, but Trump has vowed to use executive power to push it through. “Turkey has become a domestic political football in the United States, kicked around,” says Stein. “The administration wants to push forward on these agreements and is willing to use leverage to do it." Turkey opposition worries that Europe is sacrificing democracy for security Ankara is also looking to the NATO summit for a breakthrough in its goal to secure the French-Italian SAMP-T anti-missile system. Until now Paris has blocked the sale, but French media has hinted that an agreement could be within reach. “That would open maybe a new chapter in European-Turkish relations,” says International relations expert Zaur Gasimov of Istanbul's Turkish German University. “That would bring key European members of NATO – France, Italy – closer to Turkey. And would maybe forge a new core group within NATO." Exclusion from SAFE Ankara is using the summit to spotlight Turkey's booming defence industry, showcasing its cutting-edge weaponry and highly coveted drones, used in conflicts from Ukraine to Africa. “Turkey has quite a developed field of drone production, which is of paramount importance in modern types of warfare,” explains Gasimov. “So all that makes Turkey a very, very special member of NATO from the point of view of European leaders." However, Turkish arms sales to Europe face a major hurdle: exclusion from the EU's €150 billion Safety and Assistance for Europe (SAFE) arms procurement programme. EU members Greece and Cyprus continue to block Turkey's participation in SAFE due to unresolved disputes in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Turkey expands influence in Africa through military training Bagci predicts Erdogan will use his meeting with European leaders to try to break this deadlock. “SAFE is the grand strategic decision of the European Union, so it cannot be stopped or prevented by such a small country like the southern Republic of Cyprus or Greece. The Greeks and the southern Republic of Cyprus, they have to stop or shut up and not prevent [Turkey's participation in] SAFE," he says. Turkey is the only country that recognises the Turkish Cypriot administration in Northern Cyprus, refusing to recognise the Republic of Cyprus as the sole sovereign administrator of the island, as international law does.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sought to reassure allies after US rowed back on plans last week to cancel long held plans to deploy 4,000 US troops to Poland and instead send an extra 5,000 troops there.

NATO supports Ukraine and continues to deepen a partnership built through more than three decades of cooperation with NATO Allies. Allies are supporting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russia's aggression, including through unprecedented military assistance. This partnership strengthens Ukraine's security and contributes to a stronger Alliance.Russia's full-scale war of aggression has highlighted the realities of modern conflict and the speed at which forces must adapt, from rapid decision-making and resilience to secure connectivity across land, sea, air, cyber, and space. It reinforces why NATO must keep transforming for tomorrow's security environment, strengthening deterrence and defence while continuing to stand with Ukraine in its existential struggle.In this episode of Transformation Brief, Colonel Valerii Vyshnivskyi, Senior Ukrainian Representative at the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre, shares how Ukraine's battlefield experience is shaping NATO's thinking, with adaptation speed, interoperability, and civil-military innovation proving decisive in modern war.

Sir Keir Starmer says President Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed 'a little off' the front lines in Afghanistan are 'insulting, and frankly appalling'. The US President told Fox News last night that he wasn't sure if NATO would be there for his country if required, and that America had 'never needed' its help. Also: Russia, Ukraine and the United States are holding their first tri-lateral talks, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago.

President Trump refuses to rule out invading Greenland following revelations that his aggression towards the self-governing territory is a response to being denied the Nobel Peace Prize by Norway. We are now facing the very real possibility that the US will attack a NATO ally, putting everyone in a unique and untenable situation. Should the EU send troops to Greenland?
