Podcasts about Regime

Convidado: Hussein Kalout, cientista político e conselheiro do Cebri (Centro Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais). Pelo terceiro dia seguido, Estados Unidos e Israel atacam alvos diversos no Irã – e anunciam que mais tropas e mais caças estão a postos para entrar em ação. A retaliação iraniana também segue seu curso: mísseis e drones atingiram o território israelense e a infraestrutura de países que têm bases militares americanas, como a Arábia Saudita. No Líbano, o grupo extremista Hezbollah, aliado do regime iraniano, abriu um novo front de guerra. E o mapa do Oriente Médio tem cada vez mais alvos de todos os lados. No governo dos Estados Unidos, o secretário da Guerra fala em objetivos de curto prazo, mas Donald Trump já projeta pelo menos cinco semanas de ofensiva e diz que levará “o tempo que for necessário”. Já em Teerã, o regime dos aiatolás ainda lamenta da morte de seu líder supremo, Ali Khamenei, que governou o país por quase quatro décadas, enquanto se reorganiza para definir seu sucessor. Para explicar os arcos de aliança que estão formados no Oriente Médio e o processo de sucessão de Khamenei no Irã, Natuza Nery entrevista Hussein Kalout, cientista político e conselheiro do Cebri (Centro Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais). Kalout avalia os riscos de uma escalada militar ainda mais perigosa na região, inclusive em relação ao uso de armas nucleares. E analisa as consequências da escolha do novo líder supremo do regime: se será mais ou menos aberto ao Ocidente. “Um cenário muito mais obscuro”, resume.

Episode 5182: Destroying the Basic Apparatus Of Iran While The Regime Still Survives

Regime change, nuclear weapons, terrorism …Why is the U.S. at war with Iran?In the days since the United States and Israel launched an attack on Iran, the Trump administration has given a wide range of reasons why the US is now at war. On Saturday, Trump seemed to indicate the U.S. and Israel were trying to clear the way for regime change. On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the conflict in Iran was not about regime change.  A couple of hours later in Trump's first public comments, not prerecorded on video, he listed four objectives. Regime change wasn't among them. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Lauren Hodges and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane.It was edited by Andrew Sussman, Patrick Jarenwattananon and Courtney Dorning.

The left is crying “unprecedented” again — but is it really? In today's episode, we break down how Democrats and celebrities like Jane Fonda criticize Donald Trump for military actions they claim are illegal — all while ignoring historical precedents. We revisit: Obama's bombing campaigns in Libya and seven other nations The humanitarian consequences of regime change — aqueducts destroyed, water cut off, and citizens left to survive under ISIS rule The hypocrisy of pearl-clutching Democrats now criticizing constitutional military actions Plus, we cover live updates from the frontlines: General Dan Raisinkein briefing on the latest U.S. military operations in Iran Condolences for the fallen and wounded U.S. troops The strategy, planning, and coordination of American forces taking the fight to the enemy This episode highlights the stark contrast between past and present U.S. military actions, the media narrative around them, and the valor of America's service members. Opening Tease (On-Air Hook) They cry “illegal” — but history tells a different story. Obama bombed eight countries. Trump takes decisive action. Who's really protecting America?

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the attack on the Iranian terror regime by the U.S. and Israel — and the impact on the Middle East and the world. Will loud MAGA voices continue to do all they can to stop the fall of the mullahs of Iran? Or will they put aside their anti-semitism for the sake of America and the free world?

Hawk breaks down the overnight U.S. and Israeli joint military strikes on Iran, launched without Congressional approval while Trump was at Mar-a-Lago. The attack hit five or six locations across Iran, including the capital, with reports that a missile struck a girls' elementary school, killing 53 children between the ages of 7 and 12. Trump sent real estate developers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to negotiate with Iran before the strikes, a move Hawk puts in sharp context given Kushner's reported interest in Gaza beachfront development. Iran retaliated against U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. The stated justifications for the Iran war shift depending on the day. Trump had previously claimed Iran's nuclear program was already eliminated. Now it's the reason for bombing. Regime change through air power alone has never succeeded historically, and with Iran's population of 92 million, the prospect of prolonged occupation and a refugee crisis of potentially 10 million people is very real. Financial ties between Trump, his family, and Gulf monarchies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar raise serious questions about whose interests this war actually serves. Jared Kushner's financial backers and Trump Organization investments in the region are all part of that picture. Even inside MAGA, the backlash was immediate. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the administration "sick liars." Conservative commentators declared it the end of MAGA. Trump supporters who were promised America First and no forever wars are now watching another Middle East war unfold with no defined objective, no exit strategy, and no honest accounting of the cost.

The United States and Israel have launched "major combat operations" in Iran. US President Donald Trump announced the military mission in a video posted on social media. Canada urges citizens in the middle east to shelter in place and follow instructiomns of local authorities. Regime change is what many in Iran have been calling for, but the the path forwards is froughy with peril.

The US and Israel have launched what President Donald Trump has described as "major combat operations" to try to bring about the end of the Iranian regime.In this bonus episode, Roland and Venetia look at what we know so far - from Trump's speech to strikes across the Middle East - and what might happen next, while Henry Bodkin, The Telegraph's Jerusalem correspondent, reports from on the ground in Israel amid air raid sirens around the country.Plus, Roland speaks to Jonathan Hackett, a 20-year US Marine Corps veteran and special operations capabilities specialist, as well as the author of Iran's Shadow Weapons: Covert Action, Intelligence Operations and Unconventional Warfare. Their conversation - which was recorded shortly before the attack began - covers how Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was offered an escape route but refused to take it, the state of the IRGC and why regime change in Iran will be so difficult.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Israel und die USA starten am heutigen Samstag Militärschläge gegen den Iran. Nachdem bis zuletzt zwischen Iran und den USA über einen Atomdeal verhandelt wurde, scheint dieser jetzt vom Tisch.

In dieser Sonderfolge von Thema des Tages blicken wir auf die weiterhin andauernde militärische Auseinandersetzung zwischen Israel, Iran und den USA, wo sich der Konflikt hinentwickelt und was das Ziel der Kriegspartner ist.

Seit dem frühen Samstagmorgen fliegen Israel und die USA Angriffe auf den Iran.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady describes Cuba's regime reaching its limits, discussing the difficulty of replacing the leadership without causing total societal chaos, looting, or a power vacuum. 7.1900 MEXICO

The State of the Regime address presented a new reality of an American President openly defying the legitimacy of a Supreme Court ruling, even though that same court ruled to provide him with unprecedented protections from justice while serving...an odd choice to allow tariff greed to outweighing the self-serving importance of maintaining the court's illusion of authority. Then, we unpack the newly founded "Board of Peace" and how, yet again, our taxes will be funneled up to billionaires without Congressional approval. News about rapidly expanding detention centers/concentration camps leads to reports of Kristi Noem's demands and strain upon the Coast Guard, and how a fit over her lost blanket made headlines. With wellness influencer Casey Means' confirmation hearings to serve as Surgeon General continuing to take place, we delve into her online presence, statements, and why calling your Senators to demand they not confirm her matters. As ICE and Border Patrol continue to terrorize communities, letters from children in crowded detention centers shed light on their daily life, and the story of a recent immigrant from Myanmar makes clear the harsh reality of what we have become.

Nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Geneva have been "intense" and "serious," according to an Iranian official. The world is still waiting to see if a diplomatic off-ramp can be found, or if the enormous buildup of US military assets in the region will be deployed.  Meanwhile, details are still coming to light about the regime's bloody January crackdown on protesters. Jomana Karadsheh brings you a chilling report, including testimony from victims' families who say they were forced to lie about how their loved ones died.  Also on today' show: AI researcher Nate Soares; director Morgan Neville ("Man on the Run"); professor of dermatology Dr. Jean Tang and EB Research Partnership CEO Michael Hund    Learn more about your ad choices.

Against the backdrop of one of the largest US military deployments to the Middle East since 2003, MEI Senior Fellow Alex Vatanka joins hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj to assess the situation inside Iran on the eve of potential war. Weeks after the Islamic Republic's brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters and as negotiations with the US fail to find common ground, Donald Trump is reportedly weighing options for military action against Iran. Vatanka breaks down the regime's strategic calculus, the current dynamics of Iran's opposition movement, and the likely domestic political consequences of a military strike.   For more information, see Alex's co-authored article with Sanam Vakil on Iran's divided opposition here and his analysis of the regime's strategic calculus here.   Recorded on February 24, 2026.

Zum 4. Jahrestag des Ukrainekriegs erreicht die Propaganda um die Vorgeschichte des Kriegs neue Höhepunkte. Zuverlässig ist auch der CDU-Politiker Roderich Kiesewetter vertreten, wenn es darum geht, historische Fakten „zurechtzurücken“. In einem aktuellen Beitrag behauptet er (wie viele andere), der Angriff des „Terrorstaats“ Russland auf die Ukraine habe schon 2014 begonnen. Doch 2014 war esWeiterlesen

“Help is on its way”, das hatte US-Präsident Donald Trump im Januar bei Truth Social gepostet. Die Nachricht richtete sich an die Protestierenden in Iran, deren Widerstand vom iranischen Regime brutal niedergeschlagen wurde. Die angekündigte Hilfe kam damals nicht. Während die USA und Iran jetzt über einen neuen Atomdeal verhandeln, hat Trump eine erhebliche Militärpräsenz in der Golfregion und im Nahen Osten zusammengezogen. So viele Streitkräfte hatten die USA seit dem Irakkrieg nicht mehr in der Region stationiert. In seiner Rede zur Lage der Nation am Dienstag betonte Trump, dass er zwar eine diplomatische Lösung bevorzuge, aber niemals zulassen werde, dass der Iran Atomwaffen besitze. Er verwies auf die Entschlossenheit der USA als stärkste Militärmacht der Erde. Währenddessen sind an einigen Universitäten in Iran wieder Proteste aufgeflammt. Obwohl das Regime in diesem Jahr nach Schätzungen bereits Zehntausende Protestierende ermordet hat, kämpfen Teile der Bevölkerung weiter für ein Ende der Islamischen Republik. Der Widerstandsgeist scheint trotz der Brutalität des Regimes ungebrochen, sagt Azadeh Zamirirad. Sie ist Politikwissenschaftlerin und Iran-Expertin bei der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik. Anne Will spricht mit ihr in dieser Folge über die Frage: Was wäre, wenn Trump Iran angreift? Welche Szenarien eines Militärschlags sind denkbar? Und welche Auswirkungen hätten sie? Auch wenn das Regime in Iran unter Druck steht und die Lage im Land hochproblematisch ist, glaubt Azadeh Zamirirad nicht, dass das System in naher Zukunft kollabiert oder ein Militärschlag durch die USA die Probleme der Menschen im Land lösen kann.

Gregory Copley reports that amid a military buildup and failing talks, President Trump is considering kinetic action against Iran's clerical leadership, while the Iranian people remain largely anti-regime. 13.1638

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Protests erupt across Iran for the fifth straight day as university campuses turn into flashpoints between anti-regime students and pro-government militias. Unlike January's market-driven unrest, this new wave appears ideological — directly challenging the legitimacy of the regime. The Kremlin may be preparing its biggest digital crackdown yet. Russian security services are floating terrorism allegations against the founder of Telegram, raising the prospect that Moscow could shut down one of the last independent information platforms inside the country.
