Nuclear Iran via China with Rick Fisher On Today's episode, The Two Mikes spoke with Mr. Rick Fisher, one of America's very best experts on China, and a man who President Trump ought to find a way to consult with. In regard to the current war with Iran, Mr. Fisher noted that the U.S. and Israel are on the cusp of turning Iran into one of the world's strategic pivot points and, eventually, a nuclear-armed-dog of China. Beijing is already arming Iran, and purchases virtually all of Iran's oil. Indeed, Mr. Fisher claimed that China will not allow Iran to be defeated and disarmed by the United States and Israel. In necessary, China will offer nuclear tactical weapons to Iran to stave off complete defeat and may even do so in unison with North Korea, or at least with its resources. If China does secede to commit itself in Iran's defense, Beijing's goal will not only be Iran's survival, but also to ensure that the U.S.-Israel war against Iran will be the action that displaces American power in the Middle East. In recent months, moreover, Beijing probably has been surprised that Washington knowingly conceded all of the wartime advantages to Iran by failing to send a substantial ground force to Iran, the lack of which makes it all but impossible to definitively defeat Iran. Looking beyond Iran for a Moment, Mr. Fisher said developments in Europe likewise are being closely watched by the Beijing regime. As Ukraine drifts increasingly closer to a clear defeat, the European states will have to decide on whether they will attack Russia in final effort to stave off the annihilation of the Kiev regime. If a Ukraine-Russian war becomes a reality, it is likely that China will stand back and watch, but if Russia loses in Europe through such a matchup, China would certainly move against Russia while it is otherwise disposed. Mr. Fishers frequent writings can be found in the Epoch Times and in the Tai Pei Times online.
There's a statue in the U.S. House of Representatives that faces one direction while 22 others stand in profile around it. It's Moses — and Ambassador Yoram Ettinger says that's not an accident.This 4th of July, we're bringing back one of our most requested conversations. Laurie Cardoza-Moore and Ettinger trace the Bible's direct fingerprints on America's founding — the Liberty Bell, the Federalist system's Hebrew roots, the Great Seal debate — and explain why most Americans were never taught any of it.The conversation closes with Ettinger's case for why the Ayatollah regime's decades-long campaign against the U.S. has never been Israel's fight alone.
Is diplomacy with a radical regime a trap? Montana Senator Tim Sheehy joins Brian Kilmeade to issue a stark, urgent warning regarding the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran. As Vice President JD Vance and the administration's negotiation team attempt to lock down structural controls and enforce ground inspections, Senator Sheehy pulls no punches on why trusting the counterparty is a catastrophic mistake.

There's much loose talk about the so-called “deal” between the United States and Iran. Increasingly, it's being described as “ending the war.” That is, at best, wildly premature. At worst, it is dangerously delusional. By restoring the Iranian regime's access to oil revenues, ending sanctions and blockades of its ports, this agreement assures its survival and eliminates U.S. leverage – effectively dooming any further negotiations aimed at ending Iran's nuclear weapons program. In fact, with Communist China's active help rearming Iran, a more realistic assumption would be that the mullahs will simply buy nuclear weapons from North Korea or perhaps Pakistan. Thus, when – inevitably – they resume kinetic warfare, the threat will surely be existential for Israel, Iran's neighbors and possibly large numbers of Americans. Donald Trump has done so much to prevent that, and must not have it be his legacy. This is Frank Gaffney.

After US President Donald Trump's incendiary rhetoric pushed tensions toward the brink, Washington and Tehran have agreed to a ceasefire in the US-Israel war on Iran. But the deal is fragile, and key fronts like Lebanon remain tense, as Israel intensifies its attacks. What does this pause really change on the ground?

Is Donald Trump going to nuke Iran tonight if an agreement isn't reached by his imposed 8 p.m. ET deadline? In this urgent and high-stakes "Eyes On" segment, Nick Thompson breaks down the terrifying escalation in the Iran conflict as President Trump moves from threatening power plants to hinting at total annihilation. With a Tuesday 8:00 PM deadline looming, the President's latest Truth Social post warns that "a whole civilization will die tonight." Nick analyzes whether the United States is on the brink of normalizing tactical nuclear weapons and explores the psychology behind a strategy that threatens the lives of 93 million people in a war of aggression. Drawing on reports of Iranian citizens forming human chains around critical infrastructure, Nick roasts the cowardice of a government that remains on a two-week vacation while the executive branch flirts with genocide. This segment is a desperate call to activation by demanding the immediate invocation of the 25th Amendment and a return to constitutional war powers before a "tactical" strike changes the world forever. It's time to stop the escalation and demand a leadership mandate that prioritizes human existence over reality TV-style ultimatums. Core Topics Discussed - The "Civilization" Threat: Analyzing the shift from infrastructure targets to the threat of total national erasure. - Tactical Nukes vs. Propaganda: Deconstructing the normalization of "limited" nuclear use and the reality of radioactive fallout. - Human Shields in Iran: Reporting on the millions of Iranian civilians forming human chains around bridges and power stations to deter US strikes. - The 25th Amendment Mandate: Why the current escalation requires the immediate removal of the President to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. - Congressional Abdication: The "pathetic" reality of a Congress that stays on vacation while a unilateral war of aggression reaches its breaking point. Key Takeaways - Genocide is Not Diplomacy: Threatening to wipe out 93 million people is an illegal act under the US Constitution and international law. - The Infrastructure "Circulatory System": Understanding why "Power Plant Day" is a war crime that leads to mass starvation and disease, not just a blackout. - The Nuclear Threshold: Why the use of any nuclear weapon—even "tactical"—crosses a dangerous line that the world can never return from. - A Call to Resistance: With the 8:00 PM deadline approaching, the only remaining check on power is a massive, public demand for de-escalation.

It's been a week that began in silence in Independence Square, where European leaders laid flowers for Ukraine's war dead — even as the fighting grinds on in the east, across vast drone-dominated front lines in territory Russia now claims as its own.
Is the Middle East on the brink of a massive war or a historic nuclear deal that could change everything? This episode dissects President Trump's dramatic State of the Union warning to Iran, the looming U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, and the very real fear in Israel that missiles, from Iran, Hezbollah or the Houthis, could soon send millions running to bomb shelters. You'll learn why Israelis are deeply divided over whether any deal with the Islamic Republic can be trusted, what Trump's real red lines might be, how Netanyahu is navigating a political minefield with Washington, and why Hezbollah, Syria, Turkey and even India could shape what happens next.

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.

Learning Chizzuk from Chassidus at theFamilyMinyan.com aka Shtiebel from Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha,
There's the plan – and then there are the unintended consequences. The United States talks diplomacy, then bombs Iran. It suggests the targeting of nuclear sites may have been a one-off, yet leaves the regime uncertain: is regime change the real objective? Following its most significant show of force since the invasion of Iraq, will Washington take ownership of what comes next? For now, the US asserts itself as the sole superpower capable of projecting force in a region where China appears reduced to the role of chief oil customer, and Russia remains preoccupied with Ukraine. And with Israel now striking Tehran's notorious Evin Prison, it's clear this goes far beyond nuclear ambitions. We look at the options left to a weakened Iran – and the consequences of toppling a militarised theocracy. Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Guillaume Gougeon and Ilayda Habip.
El General de Brigada retirado y analista de la Fundación Alternativas analiza el ataque de EE.UU. a instalaciones nucleares iraníes y sus posibles consecuencias.
1. Escalation of the Iran-Israel Conflict Ongoing missile exchanges and attacks on infrastructure, including Iranian oil refineries. Daily life in both countries disrupted by sirens and sonic booms. Speculation about Iran potentially using unconventional retaliation methods. 2. U.S. President Trump's Response Trump left the G7 summit early, citing the Middle East crisis. He refused to sign the G7’s joint de-escalation statement, instead urging civilians in Tehran to evacuate. Canceled bilateral meetings with leaders from Ukraine and Mexico. Ordered the National Security Council to be on standby upon his return to Washington, D.C. 3. Trump's Stance on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions A lengthy reiteration of Trump’s consistent position: Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Includes a montage-style repetition of Trump’s past statements from 2015 to 2025 emphasizing this stance. 4. Political and Military Developments 52 Republican senators, led by Senator Ted Cruz, publicly support Trump’s red line on Iran’s nuclear program. Reports from Israeli Channel 14 suggest Trump may soon sign an order to formally join the war. U.S. military movements toward the Middle East are noted, including aircraft carriers and planes. 5. Israeli Perspective The Israeli ambassador hints at surprise military operations later in the week that could escalate the conflict further. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

It's a threat repeated so often over so many years that it started to ring hollow. Now, Israel's actually done it: striking Iran in a bid to destroy its capacity to build nuclear weapons. Jerusalem sees a window of opportunity, and with Tehran's proxies in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza are either gone or debilitated, the Israelis also targeting the senior leadership around Ayatollah Khamenei. So what's the ultimate goal, military superiority or regime change? Iran may be reeling but it's still fighting back, successfully targeting Israel's largest oil refinery in Haifa. A long war ahead? And with Israel lacking the kind of bunker-busting bombs that can reach the underground Fordo nuclear site, will the United States agree to finish the job that Benjamin Netanyahu started? Since Friday, Donald Trump's sent mixed messages, warning Israel against targeting the Supreme Leader but cheering the strikes, still billing himself as peacemaker while providing Israel with military intelligence. We'll ask about the only man who can end this unprecedented direct confrontation with a phone call. Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Aurore Laborie and Ilayda Habip.
14/06/2025 #actualidad #geopolitica #orientemedio El 13 de junio de 2025, Israel ejecutó una operación aérea sin precedentes contra Irán. El objetivo: instalaciones nucleares, silos de misiles y líderes clave del régimen.

In light of today's breaking news—Israel's targeted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, and Iran's retaliation—we are re-releasing our episode that confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time. Originally aired in January 2025, this debate has only grown more relevant, with our two experts offering insights critical for understanding the road ahead. Iran is getting closer to developing its first nuclear weapon. With tensions rising in the Middle East, should the U.S. and its allies take a stand? Those calling to stop Iran now argue this is a “now or never” moment for the region. Those calling for tolerance say while it's not ideal, it is manageable, and maintaining diplomacy should be the focus. Now we debate: Can America and Its Allies Tolerate A Nuclear Iran, or Is It Time to Stop Them Now? Arguing STOP NOW: Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Arguing TOLERATE: Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been a week of escalating global tensions. Israel launched a series of targeted strikes on Iran – codenamed Operation Rising Lion – aimed at crippling Tehran's nuclear capabilities. Iran has vowed a swift response. In the United States, protests erupted in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement, as federal officers intensified roundups of undocumented migrants – part of President Donald Trump's broader plan for mass deportations. Meanwhile in Ukraine, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa came under heavy fire. Russia launched one of its largest aerial assaults yet, striking the capital with a wave of 315 drones and ballistic missiles. And in Europe, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte delivered a stark warning in London: defence spending is no longer optional –it's existential.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected the latest nuclear deal proposed by the United States. He stated that Iran will continue to enrich uranium, arguing that doing otherwise contradicts the nation's spirit of self-reliance. While Iran claims that its enriched uranium is intended for energy production, there are widespread concerns that it may be moving toward weapons-grade levels. FOX News Contributor and former CIA Clandestine Officer Daniel Hoffman joins to provide insight into the situation. Fox News contributor and U.S. Marine veteran Joey Jones joins the FOX News Rundown as a special guest host and speaks with former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb about his experience in law enforcement and how he used social media to help create a strong bond between his police department and the community. Lamb also shares the toll that wearing a uniform takes on an officer and their family, and he continues to help first responders cope with the stresses of their job.

There is an opportunity for the Middle East to be defined “by commerce, not chaos,” President Donald Trump said speaking at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. The president is using the universal language of economic prosperity as he visits Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates this week - reminding the Middle East it can “exports technology, not terrorism.” Trump has finalized multiple deals since the trip began, including “an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” according to the White House. Trump also announced a $600-billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S., mainly in areas of energy and technology. In addition to his economic strategy, Trump continues to remind the Middle East why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and to call for a deal between the U.S. and Iran that not only prevents the further development of Iran's nuclear program, but also stops Iran from funding terrorism. Speaking in Qatar on Wednesday, Trump said Iran “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.” On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we breakdown what you need to know about Trump's historic visit to the Middle East, and discuss if there is any hope for change in Iran. Also on today's show, the far left has a fashion issue - they don't want to accidentally be mistaken as MAGA by what they wear. What to do? Dress messy instead, according to The New York Times.

He's back in the Gulf to do deals. But a familiar ally seems cut out of all the dealmaking. Donald Trump is on familiar ground in Saudi Arabia, where he made his first trip as president back in 2017. The US president may have said no to ceremonial Arabic coffee, but he seems ready to approve a landmark civilian nuclear agreement – one that no longer seems linked to Riyadh normalising ties with Israel. Israel was left out of Monday's release by Hamas of what's thought to be the last US citizen held by the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip; a goodwill gesture before Trump travels on to Qatar. Has Washington grown tired of Benjamin Netanyahu's forever war?Last month at the White House, the Israeli prime minister seemed caught off guard when Trump in his presence announced negotiations with Iran. Under Trump I, the Saudis would have also pushed back hard. But Riyadh's relations with Tehran have since thawed.And if it's all about the money – after all, the president of the United States says he's not a man to turn down a free plane like the one the Qataris are offering to replace Air Force One – then who's the highest bidder in this new chapter of transactional diplomacy?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Jimena Morales-Velasco, Alessandro Xenos.
It took years of painstaking negotiations to reach the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. So can Washington and Tehran now really do a deal in weeks? On a trip to China this Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is talking up the chances of an agreement with the Trump administration. His government has even suggested an arms deal, this despite the absence of diplomatic relations since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. What's on the table in the talks that resume on Saturday in Oman?And should we be connecting the dots between US negotiator Steve Witkoff's previous stopover in Moscow, where he's haggling with the Kremlin over Ukraine? After all, Russia has just ratified its strategic partnership deal with Iran. Are the two files separate, or is this two-for-one bargaining by a Trump administration angling for quick results?And then there's Trump's biggest allies in the region: Saudi Arabia and Israel. Both oppose Iran getting the bomb. Recently, the US president reportedly even had to rein in Israeli plans to bomb key Iranian sites. Would we now be looking at a safer region or a Middle East nuclear arms race?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Alessandro Xenos.
Townhall Review – April 19, 2025
A week on from Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Putin, Witkoff has been in Paris for transatlantic talks. We assess the state of play for peace talks.We look at the significance of US-Iran nuclear talks, the first major level of engagement in years.We discuss the significance of a UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling: the term “woman” and “sex” refers to a person's biological sex.Finally, the first female space flight crew to lift off in six decades is back this week.
“More and more Iranian-supported, anti-American, Islamic terrorist cells are established on U.S. soil with the aim of eliminating key American personnel, and eliminating key American institutions and installations. This has been the ayatollah's vision from day one,” says former Ambassador Yoram Ettinger.In the 1980s and 1990s, Ettinger held a number of high-profile positions within Israel's government, from minister of congressional affairs in D.C. to director of its press office. A now retired insider and expert on U.S.–Israel relations, he regularly advises Israel and America's legislators, and produces a weekly newsletter challenging conventional wisdom on Middle East affairs.“The State Department probably still is under the delusion that the U.S. has a choice between Arab countries that abide by human rights and Arab countries that do not abide by human rights,” says Ettinger. “The choice is between pro-American Arab regimes that violate human rights or anti-American Arab regimes that violate human rights.”In this episode, we dive into key realities of the U.S.–Israel relationship that are poorly understood, and the global threat posed by the Iranian regime.“The early pilgrims and the Founding Fathers, to a large extent, viewed themselves as the modern-day chosen people. They viewed this country as the modern-day Promised Land, and they considered the manner in which Moses governed the Jewish people to be the foundation for the system which they established: the separation of powers, and later on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,” says Ettinger.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
In addition to Russia and North Korea, nuclear bad actors can also be found in Iran, where the regime has been plotting a nuclear buildup for decades.
