Podcasts about sanctions

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Amid the resumed US-Iran fighting, US President Donald Trump is playing down the potential for escalation, reports Magid, and telling Israel not to worry. Additionally, Magid discusses the administration's attempts to pressure Iran with economic sanctions, a lengthy process that will impact pricing for Americans at the gas pump, and will also require cooperation from a range of countries with diverse interests, including the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar and China. The US issued slightly stronger condemnation than usual of West Bank settler violence, denouncing criminal violence and calling for investigations, arrests and prosecutions, but didn’t specifically mention settlers, or Israel, in its statement, notes Magid. The US-backed Board of Peace called out Israel's continued strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, Magid also reports, as the Israeli government appears to be waiting until after the October 27 elections to make any substantive policy shifts. Magid also updates us on a Palestinian banking crisis, which was averted at the eleventh hour, with Israeli banks Discount and Hapoalim agreeing to continue providing correspondent banking services until January 1. Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party is attempting to reconcile internal feuds ahead of planned Palestinian legislative elections at the end of November. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Iran was supposed to be over. It isn't. The ceasefire is going nowhere, 40% of the Navy is parked in the region, the tab is past $29 billion and climbing, and new reporting suggests as much as 70% of Iran's missile capacity is still standing. Meanwhile Ukraine just took the largest drone and missile barrage of the entire war and corporate media couldn't be bothered to lead with it. Paul sits down with Preston Stewart — West Point 2009, field artillery officer, two tours in Afghanistan, and one of the fastest-growing independent national security voices on YouTube — to get the no-BS read on where we actually are. They get into the Strait of Hormuz, the exaggerations coming out of both the Iranian regime and the Trump regime, why drones matter more than ballistic missiles right now, and how Ukraine's "kinetic sanctions" are quietly bleeding the Russian economy dry. They dig into Trump's weak hand in Beijing, Taiwan's window of vulnerability, the terrorism threat we've stopped paying attention to, and the dangerous partisan politicization of the National Guard on American streets.

« D-Day économique », c'est avec ces mots que le président américain Donald Trump a qualifié les sanctions annoncées la semaine dernière par Washington à l'encontre de l'Iran. Suite au bourbier militaire, les États-Unis utilisent une nouvelle fois l'asphyxie économique pour tenter de faire plier Téhéran. Des sanctions utilisées régulièrement par l'Union européenne face à la Russie dans la guerre en Ukraine. Quels sont les effets de telles décisions ? Peuvent-elles permettre d'infléchir le régime visé ou ne font-elles qu'appauvrir sa population ? Pour en débattre : Rémi Bourgeot, chercheur associé à l'Iris, spécialiste notamment des questions économiques et géopolitiques Julien Marcilly, économiste, chef économiste chez Global Sovereign Advisory Michel Duclos, diplomate, ancien ambassadeur et représentant de la France auprès des Nations unies, conseiller spécial géopolitique à l'Institut Montaigne, auteur du livre Diplomatie française, éditions Alpha

Aziz Abu Sarah, entrepreneur palestinien et médiateur de conflits. Maoz Inon, entrepreneur israélien, fondateur d'auberges de jeunesse en Israël et en Palestine. Ils viennent d'écrire ensemble La paix, notre avenir, un livre né de deux deuils qui auraient dû les rendre ennemis.Maoz a grandi dans un kibboutz à un kilomètre et demi de Gaza. Le 7 octobre 2023, ses parents ont été parmi les premières victimes de l'attaque du Hamas. Deux jours plus tard, avec ses frères et sœurs, il publiait un message pour dire qu'il refusait la vengeance. Aziz, lui, a grandi à Jérusalem-Est sous occupation, et il avait dix ans quand son frère est mort des suites de tortures infligées par des soldats israéliens. Il a refusé d'apprendre l'hébreu, il a grandi en colère, contre toute idée de réconciliation.Trois jours après le 7 octobre, Aziz a tendu la main à Maoz sur Facebook. Depuis, ils ne se quittent plus. Le pape Léon XIV les a appelés « frères dans la paix » et ils ont gardé le nom.Ce qui m'a frappé en les écoutant, c'est à quel point leur discours est simple. Pas simpliste, simple. Ils ne débattent pas de qui a commencé, ils refusent même de rentrer sur ce terrain. Ils disent : il y a sept millions de Palestiniens et sept millions de Juifs israéliens entre le Jourdain et la Méditerranée, ils sont condamnés à vivre ensemble, alors autant y travailler maintenant.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la colonisation britannique et de la fabrication du conflit, du mythe des « 3000 ans de guerre », de ce que le sionisme veut encore dire aujourd'hui, de l'antisémitisme et de l'islamophobie qui montent ensemble, et de la façon dont la France importe un conflit qui n'est pas le sien dans ses universités et ses quartiers.J'ai questionné Aziz et Maoz sur ce qu'ils répondent aux gens qui pensent qu'il faut choisir un camp, sur ce que peut concrètement faire quelqu'un depuis Paris, et sur la forme que pourrait prendre la paix : un État, deux États, une confédération.Cette conversation est en anglais, traduite en simultané. C'est la première fois que je fais ça sur Vlan!.C'est un des épisodes les plus bouleversants que j'ai enregistrés.Citations marquantes« La guerre, c'est une maladie qu'on a créée nous-mêmes. Ce n'est pas un tsunami, ce n'est pas un volcan en éruption. Nous faisons les guerres, et nous devons aussi faire la paix. » — Maoz Inon« Les Juifs ne sont pas plus en sécurité en Israël qu'ils ne le sont en France. Le plus grand jour de tuerie de Juifs depuis la Shoah, c'était le 7 octobre 2023. » — Aziz Abu Sarah« Quand vous choisissez le silence, quelqu'un d'autre utilise votre voix. Vous devenez un soutien de la guerre. » — Aziz Abu Sarah« Ne divisons plus le monde entre pro-israéliens et pro-palestiniens. Divisons-le entre ceux qui croient à l'égalité, à la justice et à la paix, et ceux qui n'y croient pas encore. » — Aziz Abu Sarah« Ce n'est pas du courage, c'est normal. Les êtres humains ont besoin de paix par défaut. Je n'ai pas à vous convaincre que la paix est une bonne chose. » — Maoz InonIdées centrales discutées1. La vengeance est un choix, pas une réaction — 03:15 → 05:31Deux jours après avoir perdu ses parents, Maoz publie un message pour refuser de les venger. Son raisonnement est froid : venger, c'est alimenter un cycle vieux de cent ans. C'est la démonstration que le deuil ne dicte pas mécaniquement la haine.2. Le conflit n'est ni religieux ni millénaire — 18:41 → 21:56Juifs, chrétiens et musulmans ont cohabité des siècles à Jérusalem et à Jaffa. Aziz raconte les femmes chrétiennes et musulmanes manifestant ensemble en 1920, et les tirs britanniques attribués à l'autre camp pour que les deux communautés cessent de viser le colonisateur. Le nationalisme a un siècle, pas trois mille ans.3. Le clivage pro-israélien / pro-palestinien est un piège — 12:35 → 14:46Aziz condamne le meurtre de civils israéliens en tant que Palestinien, Maoz condamne la famine à Gaza en tant que Juif israélien. Leur ligne de partage n'est pas ethnique, elle est morale. Ça déplace toute la conversation française.4. L'indifférence est une position — 16:29 → 18:41Ce que je retiens le plus. Le silence n'est pas neutre, il transfère votre voix à ceux qui font la guerre en votre nom. Ils proposent des gestes précis : parler à ses élus, refuser les ventes d'armes, financer les mouvements de paix, offrir le livre à un journaliste ou un sénateur.5. L'antisémitisme et l'islamophobie se combattent ensemble — 34:07 → 40:16Chaque communauté qui se défend seule contre les autres augmente la haine contre les deux. Aziz, issu d'une famille très musulmane, considère la lutte contre la haine des Juifs comme son devoir. L'anecdote du chauffeur de taxi complotiste vaut tous les ateliers de sensibilisation.6. Pas de paix sans vision partagée — 43:32 → 46:53Un État, deux États, une confédération : ils refusent de trancher. Ce qui compte pour eux, ce sont les valeurs qu'on met dans l'accord. Deux États peuvent très bien se faire la guerre, la France et l'Allemagne en savent quelque chose. Ils veulent des éducateurs, des philosophes, des artistes et des jeunes dans la salle de négociation, pas seulement des politiques et des avocats.7. La société civile change la politique, concrètement — 21:56 → 26:20La séquence Vérone est extraordinaire : une demande à une journaliste italienne, quatre semaines plus tard 12 000 personnes debout, le pape François qui sort du protocole pour les enlacer, et un mois après leurs mots repris quasi textuellement dans le communiqué du G7.Questions posées dans l'interviewC'est quoi votre histoire, à chacun, intime et professionnelle ?Où est-ce que vous trouvez ce courage, l'un et l'autre ?Qu'est-ce que vous diriez à quelqu'un qui est très pro-palestinien et qui devient anti-israélien ? Et l'inverse pour les Juifs de France ?Vous dédiez le livre à ceux que vous avez perdus. De qui sont-ils victimes ?Qu'est-ce qu'un Français peut faire concrètement, depuis ici ?Quelle est la part de la colonisation britannique dans ce conflit, alors que vos peuples vivaient ensemble avant ?Est-ce qu'on peut être pour la paix et sioniste en même temps ?Est-ce que je me trompe si je dis que Israéliens et Palestiniens viennent des mêmes familles ?On peut comprendre qu'après des siècles d'antisémitisme en Europe, un peuple veuille se protéger, quitte à attaquer en prévention. Que répondez-vous à ça ?À qui profite ce conflit ?Comment vous envisagez cette paix : un État, deux États ?À quoi voulez-vous ouvrir la porte, et à quoi voulez-vous la claquer ?Références citées dans l'épisodeLivreLa paix, notre avenir, Aziz Abu Sarah & Maoz Inon (07:40) — leur livre commun, sept chapitres, dont un consacré à Nazareth.

US sanctions on Russian banks have complex spillovers for the importers and exporters who transact in dollars. On this episode of The Pie, Brent Neiman, the Edward Eagle Brown Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, returns to discuss recent research tracing how those sanctions ripple through the global payments network, and whether they are pushing heavily sanctioned economies away from the dollar and toward China's yuan.

CAPTION: ARTAXERSES OF PERSIAEdmund Fitton-Brown details the bleak economic reality for citizens in Tehran living under severe economic sanctions and a low-intensity conflict. Ordinary residents are reduced to driving for ride-sharing apps like Snapp and begging for food due to skyrocketing prices of staple goods like yogurt. While the regime's elite remain insulated, sanctions have severely strained the general population without driving systemic behavior changes. Furthermore, the discussion examines the declining global credibility of the United Nations. The organization has abandoned its neutrality by focusing excessively on targeting Israel and prioritizing humanitarian relief, which frequently ends up diverted to empower oppressive regimes. (1)

The Treasury declared economic D-Day on Iran the same week traffic through the Strait of Hormuz jumped 400% and Trump announced a deal for 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil. None of that is a coincidence.

Bryan Kohberger's defense and the State of Idaho fought over whether prosecutors had complied with Idaho Criminal Rule 16(b)(7), which governed disclosure of expert witnesses and the substance of their expected testimony. In December 2024, Kohberger's attorneys asked Judge Steven Hippler to compel more complete disclosures and sanction the prosecution, arguing that the state had identified roughly 25 experts but had supplied actual reports for only a handful of them. The defense said major areas of the case, including DNA, digital forensics and other technical evidence, were represented by disclosures that were too vague to reveal the experts' actual opinions, methods and conclusions. Kohberger's lawyers argued that this left them trying to prepare their own expert case without knowing precisely what the prosecution intended to present, despite a looming deadline for defense expert disclosures. They asked Hippler to consider excluding inadequately disclosed state experts or, at minimum, order fuller disclosure and push back the defense's deadline.Prosecutors pushed back hard, arguing that they had been continuously producing discovery and expert-related material throughout the case and that the defense was overstating both the deficiencies and what Rule 16 actually required. The state maintained that expert discovery was an ongoing process, that it had complied with its obligations as information became available, and that the drastic remedy of excluding experts or imposing sanctions was unwarranted. The dispute therefore became about much more than paperwork: Kohberger's team framed it as a fair-trial problem in a capital case, saying it could not meaningfully prepare to confront expert testimony it had not fully seen, while prosecutors portrayed the motion as an attempt to punish the state despite an enormous and continuously developing discovery record. The fight illustrated just how technical the case had become, with both sides battling not only over what evidence existed, but over exactly when expert opinions had to be disclosed, how detailed those disclosures had to be and what consequences should follow if the court found that either side had fallen short.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A bombshell leak to the Washington post on Sunday, August 31st, demonstrated that US General Officers in the Pentagon are vying for increasingly finite assets and matériel across Combatant Commands, limiting the military viability of interventions in Iran, Ukraine, and Latin America. This episode examines how and why that is. Here is our general outline: Part 1: Russia–UkraineWhy did the CIA Director urgently fly to Russia?The US trying to freeze the Ukraine conflictNATO's fragilityCan the US rebuild its industrial base?Part 2: Iran, Sanctions & Economic WarfareThe limits of military forceThe new sanctions / economic isolationIran's capacity to withstand the warIran's international partnersPart 3: Venezuela & Latin AmericaSecuring Latin AmericaThe Venezuela dealLong-term objectivesChina & multipolarity in the AmericasFinal synthesis:● The three sections ultimately connect:○ Ukraine: limits of US/NATO military power.○ Iran: limits of US military and financial coercion.○ Venezuela: attempt to compensate by consolidating influence closer to home.● Central question: Is the US adapting to a declining relative position—or attemptingto reverse it through increasingly aggressive economic, military and politicalcoercion?

If you've driven by Toronto Pearson Airport at all in the past four years, you may have noticed the massive cargo jet with a big Russian flag on it just.... sitting there. It's been grounded ever since Canada closed its airspace to Russia following their invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia has been trying to get the plane back from that moment-- but a judge recently ruled that it will stay right where it is. And besides, there are questions about whether or not the aircraft could still take to the skies Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with aviation expert John Gradek about what the government's plans for the plane are, and if holding it is worth doing at all.

Aaron McIntire covers Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's sanctions against Autistici/Inventati, an Italy based tech collective tied to Antifa cells, along with new nonprofit related terror financing rules. He covers President Trump's comments on Glenn Beck about the uncertain status of the new Iranian Supreme Leader, the son of the late Ayatollah Khamenei. Aaron also covers the growing wave of Democrat lawmakers publicly disavowing streamer Hasan Piker ahead of the general election, and catastrophic flash flooding along the China-Nepal border that has killed more than 150 people, with dozens of Americans reported missing. He covers Dearborn, Michigan pastor Lorenzo Sewell's confrontational speech to the city council over accusations the city operates under Sharia law. Aaron closes with this week's poll results on Dolly Parton's best song, following her passing this week.

Donald Trump's approach to Iran has increasingly become a test of whether American economic power can still compel other countries to follow Washington's lead. His latest secondary sanctions strategy is based on a familiar idea: if direct pressure on Iran has failed to produce the desired political outcome, the United States can increase the pressure by targeting countries and companies that continue to do business with Tehran. The problem is that this strategy brings China directly into the confrontation—and China has considerable leverage of its own. Independent media has never been more important.

00:08 — Kaveh Ehsani is an Associate Professor of International Studies at DePaul University. 00:33 — Jesse Coburn is a reporter for ProPublica covering defense and the military. The post Trump Administration Threatens New Sanctions on Iran; Plus, Investigation Shows $0.5Billion Defense Project Produced Zero Products appeared first on KPFA.

Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, evaluates the Treasury's initial tranches of secondary sanctions targeting entities trading with Iran, including firms in China and the UAE. Although these measures stop short of targeting major Chinese banks, they provide President Trump with leverage ahead of his Washington summit with Xi Jinping. Within the Middle East, Schanzer warns that regional powers are hedging their bets. Saudi Arabia may be negotiating a separate peace with the Houthis and Iran, which could undermine US sanctions. Additionally, the US controversially rescinded Syria's state sponsor of terror status following the rapid rise of former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Shara. (2)

Gregory Copley, editor of Defense & Foreign Affairs, argues that the US sanctions regime against Iran is strategic signaling that makes Washington look weak, as it ignores China's trade dominance and threatens relations with India. He also views the Canadian trade dispute as a strategic failure that weakens the NORAD treaty and forces Canada to act independently in the Arctic. This unpredictability has alienated European allies, who are now bypassing the US to negotiate directly on Ukraine. Additionally, Copley analyzes post-Petro Colombia, detailing how the energetic new president faces massive domestic security issues, narco-trafficking networks, and the grounding of critical disaster relief aircraft under sanctions.

Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the term "economic D-Day," explaining that Pakistan's mediation in Iran is self-interested, driven by fears of secondary US sanctions. These sanctions have suffocated Iran's economy, reducing oil exports and sparking hyperinflation. Iraq also struggles with contradictory policies, balancing its US alliance with pro-Iranian gestures, such as securing tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. In the Red Sea, the Houthis demand tribute from Saudi Arabia to halt attacks on tankers and pipelines. Fitton-Brown warns that paying the Houthis only delays their long-term expansionist goals against Saudi territory and Israel. (7)

Janatyn Sayeh and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine Iranian official Ghalibaf's public appearance in Iraq, signaling defiance to the US and Israel before secondary sanctions are revealed. Sayeh explains that Iran views Iraq as its backyard, using it to evade sanctions by blending Iranian oil with Iraqi exports. Under President Trump, US economic scrutiny on Iraq has increased to block this smuggling. While maximum pressure has devalued Iran's currency and caused hyperinflation, Iran aims to overwhelm Washington by utilizing its regional proxy networks across Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. The US must view these proxies as Iranian arms rather than local actors. (2)
