The United States and Iran have exchanged fresh military strikes after Iranian forces reportedly shot down a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, marking the latest escalation in a conflict that shows little sign of ending. The US responded with strikes on Iranian military targets overnight, while Iran launched retaliatory attacks against American bases across the Gulf. Although neither side appears eager to return to full-scale war, the exchange has underscored the fragility of the current situation and the risk of a prolonged cycle of retaliation. The incident comes as President Donald Trump continues to insist that a major agreement with Iran is close. Throughout the conflict, Trump has repeatedly predicted that a deal was imminent, despite ongoing military action and growing scepticism from analysts and prediction markets.As the Middle East grapples with the aftermath of the conflict, the central question remains whether diplomacy can finally take hold — or whether the region is entering a new era of recurring strikes, fragile truces and unresolved tensions.

Senior U.S. officials, congressional leaders and insider reporting have fuelled growing debate over the extent of Israel's role in the war with Iran and whether it stands to gain the most from the ongoing conflict. After nine weeks of fighting and an estimated $25 billion in costs, current peace talks are reportedly focused on reopening a key maritime trade route and restricting Iran's nuclear ambitions to levels similar to those agreed under the former nuclear deal abandoned by President Trump. As inflation and gas prices rise in the United States and political pressure mounts on the White House, calls are growing for President Trump to end American involvement and seek a resolution to the conflict. Piers Morgan is joined by former US national security advisor, Ambassador John Bolton, author of ‘Provoked', Scott Horton, journalist with The Spectator, Jonathan Sacerdoti, and ex-Tory MP and Army colonel Col. Bob Stewart to discuss. Piers is then joined by History Uncensored host Bianca Nobilo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I talk with Darryl Cooper, host of the Martyr Made Podcast, and cohost of the Provoked Podcast (with Scott Horton as well) to talk about war, power, and the unseen forces shaping both.   With a background as a Navy Aegis technician and a decade as a DOD engineer, Darryl brings a unique perspective on leadership, influence, and the gap between narrative and reality. We get into his evolving views on political power, the danger of losing moral clarity in the pursuit of "understanding," and why history is often more complicated—and more uncomfortable—than people want to admit.   We also talk about something deeper: spiritual warfare.   Darryl shares how his conversion to Orthodox Christianity changed the way he sees the world—not just politically or historically, but spiritually. Because at a certain point, you realize this isn't just about what's happening out there.   There's a battle happening beneath it all.   About Darryl Cooper   Darryl Cooper is the host of the Martyr Made Podcast, and cohost of the Provoked Podcast. His MartyrMade show is known for long-form, narrative-driven explorations of history and culture. He previously served 10 years in the U.S. Navy as an Aegis fire control technician and spent another decade as a Department of Defense engineer. His work focuses on understanding the deeper forces—historical, cultural, and spiritual—that shape the world around us.   For more from Darryl, go here:  Martyr Made Podcast https://martyrmade.com   Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-martyrmade-podcast/id978322714   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2c8v0K3T8XxZpK0s8AjtKf   X https://x.com/martyrmade   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=martyr+made+podcast   Provoked with Scott Horton and Darryl Cooper Official site https://provoked.show Get the new Counterflow T-shirt before it sells out!

Scott interviews Trita Parsi about the ceasefire and negotiations between the Trump administration and the Iranians. Parsi believes, while this was a strategic defeat for the US, the ceasefire has given Trump the opportunity to walk away with no deal and that that's likely what he'll end up doing. Scott and Parsi dig into the specifics and discuss the broader regional dynamic going forward concerning Iran's proxies and the Israelis. Discussed on the show: “How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran” (New York Times) Trita Parsi is the Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the author of Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.

Scott brought Robert Pape of the University of Chicago back to discuss the attempted ceasefire that went into effect on Wednesday night. Pape explains why this is not actually a meaningful step away from the escalation to a full-on war that he's long been warning about. He also talks about how this is war is cementing Iran's status as a world power and why he expects the Iranians to abandon their previous stance, begin earnestly pursuing nuclear weapons and attain them quickly.

Scott interviews Patrick Pillow about Anatomy of a Regime Change, the series he's writing on the so-called Color Revolutions.

Hello! Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, full of your feedback on AMTs old and new. Today: Helen's going to watch ice hockey this weekend, i.e. she'll get to see zambonis in action, per AMT415. Olly got sleb-spotted when out for breakfast (hi Simon!). Pete in Bloomington, Indiana, wants to know whether Kyle from Bloomington, Indiana, is still stealing olives from the olive bars of Bloomington, Indiana, like he was back in AMT305 in 2014. Well, Kyle, are you? ARE YOU??? Provoked by AMT402's discussion of proposals via book dedications, Emma in Canada has a real life example from her own parents of a proposal via printed text, in their case the local tabloid newspaper. David from Glasgow heard us talking about the radio pip pip pips in AMT406 and explains how they use them in his work on cargo ships. Amy has a tip for Olly, to end his despair from AMT402 about all the little plastic bottles containing his cholesterol-reducing Benecol. We get a bit verklempt as Ricardito reminisces about what AMT meant to his late partner Stephen - including an excellent prank in AMT303. And along the way we learn about Olly's greatest technological fear and pragmatic marriage proposal, and Helen's parents' pugnacious proposal.  If you've been amassing thoughts about AMTs 1-415, send them to us for future episodes of Answer Us Back. And as always, send in your questions, in voicenote or written form to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com. All new AMT416 will be in your podfeed 26 March.  29 March is the next edition of our video livestream Petty Problems, so send us your unserious concerns and queries for that.

Scott interviews author and scholar Robert Pape about the insights he's gained from his decades of extensive research into the strategic effectiveness of air power in war. Pape argues that, while modern precision bombs are remarkable at carrying out their tactical functions, they alone are not enough to win wars. And further, the obsession with tactical bombing campaigns can distract decisionmakers from the political dynamics that primarily determine how wars end. Discussed on the show: Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War by Robert A. Pape The Escalation Trap Robert A. Pape is Professor of Political Science and Director of the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats and the author of Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War.
