Podcasts about Regime

Iran's top leaders are dead, but regime change isn't in sight, and the US and Israel's attacks are dividing Iranians at home and abroad. This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Peter Balonon-Rosen, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Andrea Lopez-Cruzado, engineered by Patrick Boyd and David Tatasciore, and hosted by Jonquilyn Hill.

File: P-ROGGIO-REGIME--3-16.mp3Guest: Bill Roggio PREVIEW FOR LATER: Guest Bill Roggio analyzes why the expected quick victory over Iranfailed. He argues that the administration underestimated Iranian resolve and that, despite air power, achieving stability now requires full regime change., (2)1963

1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8. Deterrence Fails with Religious Extremism Comparison between North Korea and Iran: North Korea: dangerous but rational Iran: irrational due to religious ideology Argument: Traditional nuclear deterrence does not work with actors who glorify martyrdom. 9. Public Opinion Depends on Duration and Casualties Acknowledgment that support would collapse if: War drags on for years U.S. casualties rise significantly Confidence expressed that this outcome is “near zero.” 10. Closing Shift to Religion and AI Ends with an unexpected, uplifting segment: An AI-generated Christian apologetic is quoted at length. The response argues Christianity is intellectually compelling, historically grounded, and uniquely truthful.

Seit Jahrhunderten ist Russland ein Player in Nah-Ost, doch jetzt dort Moskaus Stern dort zu sinken. Putins Dilemma: Er hat weder politisches Kapital noch militärische Kapazitäten das iranische Regime zu retten.

On this episode of Roqe, Jian opens with an essay titled “Beware the Regime Narratives in Western Media.” As the conflict surrounding Iran continues, Jian examines how Islamic Republic propaganda can travel through Western media ecosystems - and how narratives amplified abroad can eventually be used to influence audiences inside Iran. He looks at several examples currently circulating in Western coverage - from the discussion around Mojtaba Khamenei and regime succession, to the claim that the Iranian revolution has faded because people have not returned to the streets during the bombing campaign, to the repeated assertion that there is no opposition leadership. Later in the episode, Jian speaks with Germany-based researcher and political analyst Forouq Canaani, joining from Munich. Their conversation explores: the war so far the regime's disinformation tactics how narratives move between Iran, the diaspora, and Western media the question of succession and whether the conditions for a new uprising inside Iran may be emerging.

We break down what the actual strategic objectives seem to be, why this conflict may not unfold like Iraq, what a Libya-style collapse in Iran could look like, whether regime change by air power is really possible, and why oil prices, regional power balances, and American domestic politics may matter more than the loudest media narratives.In The Backroom, Benjamin and I discuss “Neo-Leftism” through the case of Spain and Pedro Sánchez.

Iran War Update: Gas Goes Up, Missiles Go Boom, and Epstein Still Ain't Dead (Probably) On the Libservative podcast, Corey hosts with Bell while Dan is away, covering the ongoing Iran war, rising gas prices, and political fallout. They criticize Trump golfing while authorizing a major Strategic Petroleum Reserve release, compare it to Biden's 2022 release, and mock the recurring “short-term pain for long-term gain” messaging. They argue the U.S. is spending about $1B/day firing expensive missiles at cheap drones, warn the conflict could drag on (with a memo preparing through September 2026), and say the war is destabilizing alliances, including pulling Patriot/THAAD systems from South Korea. They discuss claims a U.S. tomahawk hit a school, broader history of U.S.-Iran tensions, cluster munitions hypocrisy, job losses and higher unemployment, and new Epstein guard cover-up allegations, then touch on special-election “blue wave” chatter and Trump targeting Thomas Massie. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 01:12 Show topics and tech issues 03:01 Trump golfing and war optics 04:00 Oil reserves and gas prices 07:07 Short term pain montage 08:51 Drone math and war costs 11:58 Public support and goalposts 13:15 Religion and the war lens 17:49 School strike and deniability 21:35 How we got here since 1954 26:43 Regime change and mission creep 28:50 Cluster bombs and hypocrisy 30:11 Patriot systems and global spillover 37:05 THAAD moved from Korea to Israel 38:46 Two state solution and blowback fears 42:44 War of attrition and economic pain 45:18 Diplomacy bombed and summer outlook 47:19 Unit Party Blue Wave 48:55 War Spending Inflation 49:45 Silver Demand Explained 50:40 War Powers Backroom Deals 52:12 DHS Shutdown Surveillance 55:33 Draft Fears Kids Recruiters 59:20 Bases Alliances Munitions 01:03:03 Money Printing Homefront 01:06:23 Subsidies Supply Demand 01:12:39 MAGA No New Wars 01:14:16 Massey Ana Third Way 01:20:12 Jobs Report Economy Data 01:25:49 Epstein Guard Coverup 01:28:31 Midterms Special Elections 01:37:17 Final Thoughts Sign Off

Trump just said Cuba is going to fall 'pretty soon' — and that the US might have a 'friendly takeover' of the island. Then he added: 'It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover.' Cuba is down to, in his words, 'fumes.' So what's actually happening here, and is the Cuban regime really about to collapse?SPONSOR: Good RanchersGood Ranchers is the only meat company fully dedicated to America at every step, sourcing exclusively from local American farms and handling everything—from packaging to customer support—right here in the U.S.Get 25$ off HERE: https://www.goodranchers.com/discount/NICK-----GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickfreitas3.0

For about two weeks, U.S. and Israeli forces have bombarded Iran. They have targeted Iranian military and nuclear sites. They have slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials. They have even sunk an Iranian vessel deep in the Indian Ocean. Iran has responded by hurling missiles and drones at targets in the Gulf, Israel, and elsewhere in what has become a surprisingly broad and sustained retaliation. U.S. President Donald Trump has promised Iranians some kind of regime change, but that will not be so simple. Iran has declared Khamenei's son Mojtaba to be his successor, a move that seems to double down on the old order.  In this two-part episode, Senior Editor Daniel Block spoke with leading experts on the course of the war, the future of the Iranian regime, and the upheaval and uncertainty in the wider region.  First, Afshon Ostovar, an associate professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, explored how the Islamic Republic has been reshaped by the attacks—and what it would take to truly dismantle the regime. Then, Sanam Vakil, the director of the Middle East and North Africa program at Chatham House, discussed the widening remit of the war and how it has upended the assumptions and hopes of many Gulf countries.  Block spoke with Ostovar and Vakil on Tuesday, March 10. Both agree that while much remains uncertain about the trajectory of the war, it is already remaking Iran, the Gulf, and the wider Middle East in dangerous ways.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Recorded live on Political Voices Network on March 10, 2026

Louis-Vincent Gave, founder and CEO of Gavekal Research, joins Julia to break down the three prices that drive every investment decision — the dollar, the 10-year treasury, and oil — and why right now all three are flashing red. With the Strait of Hormuz under threat, Louis explains why he sees oil heading toward $120 and why that number breaks the global economy. He makes the case that the traditional 60/40 portfolio is dead and should be replaced with 60% equities, 20% precious metals, and 20% energy. He reveals why the Chinese renminbi is the most undervalued asset on the planet, why China already won the trade war, and why the US is in greater danger of crushing its allies than itself. One of the most thought-provoking macro conversations you'll hear this year.Links: https://web.gavekal.com/https://x.com/gave_vincentTimestamps: 0:00 Intro and welcome 01:22 The 3 prices that drive everything: dollar, 10-year, oil 2:38 Oil went from $65 to $85 — but Louis fears $120-150 4:08 Why the oil futures curve isn't pricing in a prolonged crisis 5:06 Dollar bear market — why the rebound won't last 6:28 "If truth is the first casualty of war, bonds are a close second" 6:53 The binary outcome on Iran — both scenarios are bad for bonds 7:51 Regime change = Berlin Wall moment — but real rates explode 9:44 "Tails I lose, heads I don't win" — the bond market trap 11:33 $100 oil and Trump's political predicament 13:41 Trump wanted lower energy — "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" 14:06 Why $100 oil is "right pocket, left pocket" for the US 15:58 The real victims: Europe, Taiwan, Korea, Japan 17:23 90% of Hormuz oil heads east — not to the US 18:39 Missing 15 million barrels: prices skyrocket or demand collapses 20:28 Why energy is the best hedge for your portfolio right now 21:50 The new portfolio: 60% equities, 20% precious metals, 20% energy 22:07 The four quadrants framework explained 25:40 Why the 60/40 portfolio is officially dead 27:52 Gold is NOT an inflation hedge — what it actually is 28:37 Why central banks started buying gold after Russia asset seizure 30:08 Western retail has completely missed the gold bull market 31:32 The broken equation: US treasuries no longer equal commodities 32:59 The next shift — stockpiling physical commodities 33:15 "I'm bearish on the dollar and treasuries — but the US has pocket aces" 34:38 Four pillars: fundamentals, momentum, positioning, valuation 36:40 Where Louis sees opportunity: Chile, Brazil, China, South Africa 37:21 China for beginners — the biggest misconceptions 39:05 China's growth miracle — it wasn't central planning 42:06 The Hunger Games of capitalism 44:24 How China really views the Iran war — purely economic 46:46 The most underappreciated macro theme right now 48:19 "Stupidly, stupidly undervalued" — the renminbi slam dunk trade 50:41 Why China kept the RMB artificially low for 8 years 51:49 The weaponization of China's own savings52:35 "China went to the gym" — why it could stand up to Trump 54:18 Who won the trade war? 56:12 The one risk keeping Louis up at night 57:08 "$120 oil breaks stuff" — the number to watch

Καλεσμένος για να δώσει τις απαντήσεις σε όλα αυτά τα ερωτήματα είναι ο κ. Αλεξάνδρος Διακόπουλος, Αντιναύαρχος εν αποστρατεία του Πολεμικού Ναυτικού και πρώην σύμβουλος Εθνικής Ασφάλειας στην Ελλάδα.   Στις 28 Φεβρουαρίου, ο πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ, Ντόναλντ Τραμπ, ανακοίνωσε ότι οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες και το Ισραήλ εξαπέλυσαν συντονισμένη επίθεση εναντίον του Ιράν, στοχεύοντας το γραφείο του ανώτατου ηγέτη Αλί Χαμενεΐ, που είχε ως αποτέλεσμα το θάνατό του.Δώδεκα ημέρες μετά την έναρξη των επιθέσεων, η σύγκρουση όχι μόνο συνεχίζεται αλλά κλιμακώνεται. Ο αμερικανικός στρατός ανακοίνωσε την καταστροφή 16 ιρανικών πλοίων στα Στενά του Ορμούζ ενώ το Ισραήλ εξαπολύει νέο κύμα επιθέσεων στον Λίβανο και στο Ιράν. Το Ιράν, την ίδια ώρα, απαντά με πλήγματα εναντίον αμερικανικών βάσεων σε χώρες της περιοχής, αλλά και εναντίον του Ισραήλ, έχοντας πλέον ως νέο ανώτατο ηγέτη του, τον Μοτζτάμπα Χαμενεΐ, γιο του Αλί Χαμενεΐ. Η επίθεση της 7ης Οκτωβρίου 2023 στο Ισραήλ, πυροδότησε μια ιστορική αναδιάταξη στη Μέση Ανατολή, που κορυφώνεται με αυτή τη σύγκρουση στο Ιράν και φαίνεται να ανοίγει ένα νέο κεφάλαιο στη γεωπολιτική της περιοχής. Μια κρίση που κρατάει για δεκαετίες ανάμεσα στο Ιράν, το Ισραήλ και τις ΗΠΑ, εξελίσσεται πλέον σε ανοιχτή αντιπαράθεση, με επιπτώσεις που επηρεάζουν ολόκληρο τον πλανήτη.   Στο σημερινό επεισόδιο θα προσπαθήσουμε να κατανοήσουμε τι ακριβώς συμβαίνει. Γιατί η επίθεση έγινε τώρα, ποιοι είναι οι στρατηγικοί στόχοι κάθε πλευράς και σε ποιο βαθμό το Ιράν εξακολουθεί να αποτελεί περιφερειακή δύναμη. Θα εξετάσουμε επίσης, τα πιθανά σενάρια για το μέλλον του ιρανικού καθεστώτος, την εξέλιξη της κρίσης και τι σημαίνουν οι αλλαγές στις γεωστρατηγικές ισορροπίες για την Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο.

Ray Takeyh, senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of The Last Shah: America, Iran, and the Fall of the Pahlavi Dynasty, joins the show to talk about the origins, evolution, and possible future of the Islamic Republic of Iran. What forces produced the 1979 revolution, and how did it reshape Iran's political and religious order? What are the psychological and sociological impacts of this revolution? How have the regime's leaders interpreted and sustained the revolutionary project, and what have the major challenges been? As Iran enters a new and uncertain phase under Mojtaba Khamenei, can the Islamic Republic endure, or is there a potential for future revolution in Iran? ▪️ Times 02:07 Living through the Islamic Revolution 04:12 A diverse Iran      05:50 How did the revolution succeed?  14:06 Khomeini & Khamenei 20:46 Too cautious  22:35 Dynastic succession   34:00 Iran vs. Venezuela 38:35 Regime resiliency  44:30 Beginning of the end   50:14 Threshold states Follow along on Instagram, X @schoolofwarpod, and YouTube @SchoolofWarPodcast Find more content on our School of War Substack

PREVIEW FOR LATER. GUEST: Mariam Wahba. Wahba explains how the Muslim Brotherhood uses media operations to exploit Egypt's economic instability. By capitalizing on inflation and debt, they aim to destabilize President Al-Sisi's regime. (3)

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A newly revealed classified U.S. intelligence assessment casts doubt on one of the central assumptions behind the war with Iran — that military force could trigger regime change in Tehran. According to the report, even a large-scale campaign may not be enough to topple the country's entrenched clerical and military leadership. Lebanon's president makes a surprising diplomatic move, calling for direct negotiations with Israel while openly blaming Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that serves Iran's interests. The proposal is raising eyebrows in Washington and Jerusalem, where officials question whether Beirut can actually disarm the Iran-backed group.

Yonit describe what it means to live under constant missile alerts: sleepless nights, families moving between shelters, and a country running on collective exhaustion. They also unpack two major developments shaping the conflict. First, the mixed and sometimes contradictory signals coming from Donald Trump about how long the war will last. And second, the sudden leadership change in Iran, with Mojtaba Khamenei emerging as the successor to his father. To make sense of it all, they speak with Professor Ali Ansari of the University of St Andrews, one of the world's leading historians of Iran. Ansari challenges much of the conventional analysis around the war and the future of the Iranian regime. Could the Islamic Republic actually be weaker than many assume? Is regime change truly impossible—or simply unpredictable? And if change does come, what might it look like? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SummaryTrump told reporters Iran has no navy, no air force, and no radar left. Clayton Cuteri breaks down why that's not true. Iran's IRGC says it can fight for six more months. They still have nearly a million military personnel, 2,500+ ballistic missiles, and underground missile cities built into mountain ranges. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, 20% of the world's oil is stuck, and gas prices jumped 50 cents in a week. Eight American soldiers are dead. And the war is costing taxpayers $1 billion per day.Clayton exposes how Israel always wanted this war (their own defense minister admitted they planned the strike months before peace talks were happening), how Israel is now seizing Lebanese territory under the cover of the conflict, and how the US Defense Secretary and Lindsey Graham are framing it as a holy war with military commanders telling troops this is “biblically sanctioned.” He connects it all to the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya pattern of endless wars sold as quick victories, and closes with a spiritual framework on empire consciousness, the illusion of control, and what the Chola Dynasty and the Gospel of Thomas teach about real power.BONUS: Clayton discusses some Indigo Education knowledge.Clayton's NewsletterJoin HereClayton's Social Media LinkTree | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | FaceBook | RumbleTimecodes 00:00 - Intro: Trump Says Iran Is Destroyed03:00 ‑ Iran's Actual Military Strength07:55 ‑ The Strait of Hormuz Crisis 10:18 ‑ Israel Always Wanted This War13:00 ‑ The Holy War Framing18:00 ‑ Your Tax Dollars at War22:00 ‑ The Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya Pattern24:30 ‑ The Illusion of Control30:00 ‑ What This Means for YouIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don Kin Instagram | Spotify Super grateful for this guy ^Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/traveling-to-consciousness-with-clayton-cuteri--6765271/support.Listen to the Podcast AD-FREE HERE for $4.95/monSign Up for my Newsletter HEREALL Indigo Education Podcasts HEREMy Book: The Secret Teachings of Jesus HEREOfficial Traveling to Consciousness Website HERE

Macro trends blogger and economist David Woo, CEO of David Woo Unbound and co-author of the upcoming financial thriller Merry Go Round Broke Down, returns to the show to break down the geopolitical and market implications of the US-Iran conflict. Woo argues that markets are dangerously mispricing the situation, betting either on a quick Trump "TACO" or a rapid US victory — both of which he sees as unlikely. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, oil sitting near $100 a barrel, and Iran executing a measured, strategic response, Woo believes this conflict is far more protracted than Wall Street is pricing. He explains why Trump, now effectively a lame duck after the Supreme Court's tariff ruling, is unlikely to back down given the enormous legacy stakes, and why China's deep investment in Iran makes this the first real US-China proxy war. Woo also breaks down the winners and losers globally, shares his current positioning — short stocks, long oil — and warns that an interaction between rising oil prices, the AI bubble, and private credit stress could be the perfect storm markets aren't prepared for.Links:  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Merry-Go-Round-Broke-Down-Novel-Globalization/dp/B0GCX8Y6KTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidWooUnbound Website: https://www.davidwoounbound.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Davidwoounbound00:00 Introduction00:43 Setting the geopolitical stage01:16 Why markets are dangerously complacent03:34 Why Trump won't TACO this time05:50 Trump's legacy shift — why Iran, why now07:48 Iran's military capabilities — what the US hasn't destroyed10:14 Oil at $95 — what's actually priced in12:47 The Strait of Hormuz and what markets are missing15:11 Can the Fed cut rates at $100 oil?16:00 Retail investors driving the market higher17:56 Global recession risk19:57 Winners and losers — Canada, Russia, Europe, Japan20:27 Why the midterms are almost irrelevant now24:41 Base case — Trump loses the House26:00 Why Trump is moving on Iran before lame duck sets in28:09 Regime change and the greatest presidential legacy29:55 China-Iran railroad and the real proxy war31:24 Can the US control the Strait of Hormuz?33:00 The Houthis playbook 35:15 UAE under attack — interceptors running out37:04 Iran's civilization and strategic depth39:12 David's positions — short stocks, long oil40:42 When will markets wake up?43:21 Most likely outcome — civil war not regime change45:11 What Xi Jinping is thinking right now47:03 Is this worth the risk for the US?49:43 The Pearl Harbor analogy and China's Belt and Road52:39 Gold, crowded trades getting blown out55:38 Private credit, the AI bubble and the perfect storm58:44 What's keeping David up at night — AI01:03:07 David's book — Merry Go Round Broke Down

In this hard-hitting episode of The Alan Sanders Show (Ep. 046), we unpack the chilling NYC ISIS-linked terror bombing attempt outside Gracie Mansion: two Pennsylvania men, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, charged with hurling improvised explosive devices (TATP-based IEDs laced with shrapnel) at protesters during an anti-Islam rally and counterprotest, explicitly inspired by ISIS, complete with pledges of allegiance and admissions of wanting carnage bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing. No injuries occurred, but the threat was real. We also cover deepening cracks in Iran's regime amid ongoing U.S./Israeli strikes, post-Khamenei fallout and suppressed protests signaling potential collapse. Finally, the "reverse Gold Rush" from California where tech billionaires, energy producers and even Yamaha are moving out of state.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — a strange apology from Iran's president reveals new cracks inside the regime. President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Gulf neighbors for Iranian missile and drone attacks, but the strikes continued and hardliners quickly pushed back. Later in the show — new reports suggest Russia may be providing Iran with intelligence that could help identify targets tied to U.S. forces in the Middle East, raising the possibility that another major American adversary is now indirectly involved in the conflict. Plus — President Trump raises the prospect of major political change in Cuba, suggesting the island's communist leadership may soon face the same pressure that brought down Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro And in today's Back of the Brief — New York City and federal authorities investigate a device with a lit fuse allegedly thrown by a left-wing counter-protester outside the city's mayoral residence that sent people running for cover To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

Jan 6 Plaque Finally Installed. Intel Warns Large-Scale War ‘Unlikely' to Oust Iran's Regime. Dignified Transfer of 6 Americans KIA. 7th Troop KIA. MacFarlane out at CBS. Rieckhoff on Colbert Tonight!  Trump's Iran war is escalating, American troops and civilians are dying, and the truth is already becoming the first casualty—again. In this all-new solo episode 460 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why the conflict feels like Vietnam all over again, what U.S. intelligence is really saying about regime change, and why American flag-draped caskets coming home must never be normalized. From a horrific school bombing in Iran to drone terror in Ukraine and rising ISIS-inspired threats in New York City, he connects the front lines overseas to the streets where you live, while calling out chicken hawks, failed leadership, and the propaganda pouring out of Trump's White House.​ Paul also spotlights the leaders and movements actually rising to the moment—from retired Admiral Mike Mullen and independent journalist Scott MacFarlane to emerging independent candidates like veteran Seth Bodnar in Montana. He honors anti-war legend Country Joe McDonald, amplifies NFL great Ed Reed's rejection of White House war hype, and previews his appearance with Stephen Colbert—inviting new listeners into a growing, hopeful independent movement that puts country over party, people over politics, and light over heat. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

In this timely episode of IsraelCast, host Steven Shalowitz speaks with Iran expert Beni Sabti for a timely and deeply personal conversation recorded from near Tel Aviv in the midst of missile sirens and shelter runs. Sabti, born in Iran and now a leading researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, brings a rare lens shaped by lived experience under the Islamic Revolution and decades of work analyzing Iranian culture, propaganda, and regime behavior.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. We are one week into a stunning US-Israel bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic. Senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been eliminated, and Iran's ability to attack its neighbors and to defend itself has been severely damaged.But it is still fighting, and launching attacks on countries across the region. What are US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu trying to achieve in this war? And if it is regime change, is that even possible without sending in ground troops? A possible way to thread that needle -- to avoid committing US or Israeli forces but to still take ground from the Islamic Republic -- is to use local opposition forces. The Kurds are being talked about as a possible vanguard of ethnic uprisings against the regime. That is probably overambitious. There are only a few thousands Iranian Kurds under arms, and they have ample reasons to be wary of American promises. Still, every day that goes by sees the US and Israel degrade Iranian forces, while they gain more freedom of action over the country. But there is still a long way to go before Trump and Netanyahu can consider ending the campaign while still achieving their goals. Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms.

1. U.S. Military Action & Objectives in Iran The U.S., alongside Israel, has conducted a major military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s military capabilities—missiles, drones, and leadership structure. Primary objective: Regime collapse, not a prolonged war. Trump administration views the Iranian regime as a 47‑year sponsor of terrorism and responsible for killing Americans. Intelligence suggested Iran was rapidly scaling missile and drone production, prompting immediate action. The Ayatollah and much of Iran’s security leadership were reportedly eliminated early in the conflict. 2. Nuclear & Terror Concerns Iran previously claimed it had enriched uranium sufficient for 11 nuclear bombs. U.S. officials believed Iran intended to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons. Iran has provided an estimated 90% of funding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis over decades. 3. Impact on China via Oil Disruption Iran historically sent 87% of its oil exports to China; Venezuela sent ~55%. U.S. actions against both nations’ regimes have significantly disrupted China’s energy supply chain. 4. Shake-Up at the Department of Homeland Security President Trump removed Christy Noem as DHS Secretary. Replacement: Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Noem faced backlash during Senate questioning—especially from Sen. John Kennedy—regarding: $220M in DHS-funded TV ads featuring her Possible improper contracting Claims that Trump approved the campaign (which he denied) Her testimony was viewed as damaging, contributing to her removal. 5. Texas Primary Elections Major developments in several key GOP races: Dan Crenshaw lost his House primary to Steve Toth, receiving criticism for confrontational behavior and losing touch with constituents. Multiple candidates endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz won their primaries (Jessica Steinman, Chris Gober, John Bank). Texas Senate GOP runoff: John Cornyn vs. Ken Paxton—an expensive, bitter contest. Democratic nominee: James Talarico—portrayed as ideologically extreme but rhetorically moderate, making him a potentially formidable opponent. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First—The U.S. and Israeli air campaign against Iran is achieving overwhelming military results. But as reports swirl that some of the IRGC's security forces are failing to report for duty, the major question intelligence analysts are asking now isn't about bombs or missiles — it's about the stability of the regime itself. Later in the show—An effort in Congress aimed at limiting President Trump's war powers over Iran collapsed this week on Capitol Hill, leaving the administration with broad latitude to continue the campaign. I'll explain what lawmakers were trying to do, and why it didn't succeed. To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Daniel Byman, and Ari Tabatabai for an in-depth discussion of the U.S. military operations against Iran, including:“Isn't it Iran-ic.” Trump's decision to join Israel in removing Ayatollah Khamanei reflects a deep reversal by the president, who has spent years criticizing his predecessors' own experiences with regime change and other overseas adventurism. What drove Trump to proceed this time, after stopping short twice in the past year? What can we learn from the way the Trump administration has proceeded? And how far will Trump let things go?“Bibi's Big Adventure.” Regime change in Iran is something Israel and the Arab Gulf states have advocated for frequently in the past. But they had all adopted a more cautious and even conciliatory posture toward Iran in the months before the current offensive, at least in public. How has the region approached this conflict? And what will it do moving forward?“MIGA.” The death of Ayatollah Khamenei is a major shift in Iran, but we don't know where it is going to lead. One concern that people have always had about regime change in Iran is that it will be highly destabilizing, resulting in a failed state in a crucial corner of the Middle East. On the other end, other people have asserted that removing the Ayatollah and his regime will give Iran the opportunity to flourish back into a democracy, or at least something closer to a state that's more stable and free than Iran has been for the last several decades. Between the two is a mass spectrum of possibilities. What does the future hold for Iran in the post-Ayatollah era, if that's the era that we're heading into?In object lessons, Ben is vibe-coding his way through Lawfare's litigation tracker, as well as vibing his way through The Rest is History's four-part series, Revolution in Iran. Dan is war-gaming his way through the attack on Iran with Next War: Iran. Scott is consuming as much Iran content as he can get his hands on with (another) Scott Anderson's “King of Kings,” Roy Mottahedeh's “The Mantle of the Prophet,” Gary Sick's “All Fall Down,” and Dutch documentary “The Birthday,” finally discovered online by Lawfare's own Anna Hickey.
