As America and Israel's conflict with Iran spills out into the region and beyond, Christiane gets perspective from around the world with a range of guests. U.S. Democratic Senator, Chris Murphy, who sits on the foreign relations committee is up first with a furious response to the roll out of this war and the lack of clear objectives.

And with the Gulf region under fire, Christiane speaks to Saudi Arabia's Prince Turki al-Faisal, the country's former director of intelligence. Plus with America's allies increasingly walking a tightrope, Christiane hears from Britain's former spymaster, John Sawers, after President Trump criticised Prime Minister Starmer's initial response.

The media warns the war with Iran is “spreading,” but the reality may be the opposite. Middle Eastern nations are lining up alongside the United States and Israel after Iranian attacks across the region. In this episode, Tara breaks down the surprising geopolitical shift: Gulf states offering bases, military coordination, and strategic support while some European allies hesitate. Plus, a deeper look at how the conflict is reshaping global alliances—and why past policies under Barack Obama may have helped Iran develop the missile capabilities now being destroyed by Donald Trump's strategy. Episode Summary: Media headlines claim the conflict with Iran is expanding across the Middle East—but Tara explains why the reality may actually strengthen America's position. As Iran lashes out militarily, several Gulf nations—including United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel. According to U.S. officials, Iran's attacks on multiple countries have pushed regional powers closer together, accelerating a strategic alliance that echoes the spirit of the Abraham Accords. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper say Iran has now attacked more than a dozen countries—prompting those nations to cooperate with American forces through basing, air defense, and intelligence support. At the same time, some European governments—including leaders like Keir Starmer in the United Kingdom—have faced criticism for initially restricting the use of military bases during the conflict. Tara argues the crisis is exposing a dramatic realignment in global alliances, forcing the world to reconsider who America's true partners are. The episode also teases an explosive historical clip suggesting how policies during the Barack Obama administration may have contributed to Iran's missile development—capabilities the U.S. is now targeting in the current conflict. Key Topics Covered: Media narrative vs. reality in the Iran conflict Gulf states aligning with the U.S. and Israel Regional cooperation after Iranian attacks Strategic impact of the Abraham Accords Military coordination with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain European hesitation and criticism of Keir Starmer's government Debate over past U.S. policy under Barack Obama Preview of upcoming revelations about Iran's missile program

A brutal DHS hearing ends a political career, Middle East alliances flip the global order, and the SAVE Act becomes the last stand against election fraud. Tara breaks down how media narratives, foreign policy shifts, and Republican infighting are colliding at once. EPISODE SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara dives into a stunning political collapse at the Department of Homeland Security after explosive testimony about an alleged affair with political operative Corey Lewandowski. The scandal erupts during a tense congressional hearing, raising questions about ethics, leadership, and the political damage done in the middle of major immigration enforcement efforts. Meanwhile, the geopolitical map is shifting fast. Following military strikes against Iran, several Gulf states—including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel, offering bases and operational support. Tara explains why this surprising coalition may actually simplify the conflict rather than expand it. At the same time, tension grows with traditional Western allies. Leaders like Keir Starmer face criticism as the United Kingdom and other European governments hesitate to support U.S. operations, sparking debate over whether old alliances are weakening while new ones form in the Middle East. Back in Washington, a political showdown is brewing over election integrity legislation. The SAVE Act could force states to provide voter roll data and require proof of citizenship to vote—potentially reshaping future elections. But Senate leadership battles, including figures like John Thune, John Cornyn, and Lindsey Graham, are threatening to stall it. Finally, Tara looks at rising frustration over judicial decisions in states like South Carolina, where critics say liberal judges are being repeatedly appointed by Republican legislatures despite controversial rulings—including a case where a stabbing suspect was released on minimal bond. It's a chaotic moment in American politics—scandals, shifting alliances, and battles for the future of elections—all colliding at once. SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS DHS Hearing Explosion A devastating congressional exchange puts DHS leadership under fire after questions about alleged personal misconduct involving Corey Lewandowski. Middle East Alliances Flip Gulf nations quietly move closer to the U.S. and Israel after Iranian attacks across the region. Europe vs. The U.S.? Debate grows as the UK and France hesitate on military cooperation. SAVE Act Power Struggle A major election integrity bill becomes the center of a fierce fight inside the Republican Party. South Carolina's Judicial Controversy Critics say the state's judicial selection system keeps producing soft-on-crime rulings. KEY TAKEAWAYS A DHS scandal erupts during a high-profile congressional hearing. Middle Eastern alliances are shifting in unexpected ways. Western allies face criticism for hesitation in regional conflicts. The SAVE Act could dramatically change U.S. election verification. Judicial appointment systems are facing renewed scrutiny.

The US launches strikes on Iran and the global power balance is shifting fast. Ken Egan breaks down the geopolitics, from the BRICS setback to what happens when Trump meets Xi in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the White House is taking sides against the banks on the GENIUS Act as the stablecoin yield fight heats up ahead of midterms.

Naomi O'Leary and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· After six days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, the conflict is escalating and has spread to Lebanon which has experienced sustained airstrikes from Israel. Iran has vowed to continue targeting Gulf countries having fired missile and drone attacks into Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The US has entered into a conflict with no clear focus or potential resolution. Trump's demands on social media for an ‘unconditional surrender' from Iran seem like wishful thinking at this point.· Irish consumers are already feeling the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East as the average cost of 500 litres of home heating oil was put at just under €800 on Thursday, an increase of nearly 60 per cent in less than a week. The Government was quick to react, asking the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) to launch an immediate investigation of domestic suppliers here.· And research into last year's presidential election by the Electoral Commission threw up some interesting results, not least that almost half of those who spoiled their vote, more than 12 per cent of the total ballot, did so because they didn't like any of the candidates. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Horse manure sparks tension in the Liberties, mobile phones can be ageing over time, and does an arts degree retain any value these days?Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Rudyard and Janice start today's show with the big surprise from this week: Iran striking its Gulf neighbours in an effort to get them to persuade Donald Trump to end this war, which was a serious miscalculation on their part. In fact, the lasting consequences from this conflict will be a rupture between Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iran that will be hard to repair. Meanwhile America's military success in Iran has been overshadowed by inconsistent messaging from its political leadership. What is the U.S. trying to accomplish? How will they know if they have succeeded, and when it is time to stop? And will rising gas prices and inflation affect Donald Trump's commitment to seeing this through? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to Mark Carney's messaging on this conflict. How should international law play into Canada's position? Carney indicated at Davos that Canada aims to be “both principled and pragmatic". But when it comes to the war with Iran, can we be both?

The People Pushing War With Iran Believe the World Is EndingSo, this morning President Trump posted to social media that there “will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction.” He signed off with “MIGA!,” for “make Iran great again.”So the dimensions of this conflict have certainly expanded, and now involves over 17 different countries and far more complexity than the Invasion of Iraq - “We are in it Now” says senator Elisa Slotkin, former CIA case officer, when questioned today about approving additional defense funding to extend military operations against Iran for another Hundred Days. All while Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait are considering canceling or reviewing contracts and investment commitments with the U.S. due to mounting economic strain and insecurity caused by the ongoing war with Iran. This potential move aims to pressure the Trump administration to halt the conflict, as Gulf officials express frustration over not being warned about attacks and feeling unprotected.Trump has gutted the state department, many strategic state department postings in region remain unoccupied, USAID, which would usually be working on shaping a post conflict enviroment is not longer really a thing and US bases and Israeli cities have been getting hit. And despite the media blackout a ton of damage is being done to US assets, bases, and the war is not going well. But that's okay because a lot of evangelical extremists in the WH are actually not trying to live in a better world or fix the environment, or improve your material conditions, because they believe they are living in a time of revelatory prophecy and we are nearing the end of human history anyways.

I don't think a war with Iran is what Trump — or his voters — had in mind when he campaigned on “America first.” My guest this week is Curt Mills, the executive director of The American Conservative, a magazine that champions foreign policy restraint.

An old MBS interview resurfaces where he calls Iran's Supreme Leader “the new Hitler.” The panel debates why Saudi fears Iran even if it costs them economically, why ideology changes deterrence, and the difference between “regime change” vs “collapsing” the regime.

Steve credits President Trump's “drill baby drill” approach for strengthening America's energy independence and reducing reliance on countries like Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China are locked in a fierce competition to lead the global AI industry. Over $100 billion has been invested in AI by the United States in the last year alone.

As the United States and Israel attack military facilities across Iran, Tehran has been retaliating. But it has attacked Gulf countries more than it has targeted Israel. Why? And how will the likes of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates respond? Will it shift their geopolitical alignment away from the United States?

Trump's strategy in Iran could shift the Middle East, boost his approval, and impact the midterms. Today we break down polling data, military strategy, Gulf state alliances, and why Iran's mistakes may be the turning point for U.S. influence in the region. Episode Summary In this episode, we analyze the latest insights on U.S.-Iran tensions and how Trump's decisive moves could reshape the Middle East: 1. Polling & Public Opinion CBS poll internals reveal Americans favor swift military action against Iran — 76% approve if the conflict lasts just days or weeks. Support drops dramatically if the war drags on: 46% for two months, 13% for years. Implication: speed and precision are critical for political momentum and public support. 2. Trump's Military Strategy & Capabilities Trump fought internal Pentagon battles during his first term to gain operational control over next-gen military technology. Steve Bannon confirms Trump now has access to the full stockpile and can deploy advanced systems on command. “Hammer” operations demonstrate that extreme precision is possible without triggering a prolonged Middle East war. 3. Iran & Regional Dynamics Iran has made tactical errors by lashing out at Gulf states with drones and missiles, uniting them against Tehran. Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, are implicitly aligning with the U.S. and Israel, strengthening a regional coalition. This marks a strategic realignment: the Middle East may now favor U.S.-led stability over Iranian aggression. 4. Political & Strategic Implications Quick, decisive action could significantly boost Trump's approval ahead of the midterms. The Iran operation may also set the stage for longer-term regional peace and profitable alliances for the U.S. and its partners. This episode explores how military strategy, public perception, and regional diplomacy intersect — and why timing is everything for both Trump and America's role in the Middle East. Key Topics CBS polling on American support for swift action in Iran Trump's operational control over advanced military technology Tactical errors by Iran and their regional consequences Gulf states implicitly allied with the U.S. and Israel Potential impact on midterms and U.S. geopolitical influence

Send a textIn this special emergency episode of The Wall Street Skinny, we sat down with Andreas Laskaratos, CEO of AB Commodities Group, a global oil and gas shipping and trading firm with operations spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Andreas is one of the few people in the world who operates across both the physical and financial sides of the commodities complex, and he's been a longtime friend of the show.With Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz, shipping rates spiking 5x overnight, and 20% of global oil flow suddenly in question, there was no one we wanted to talk to more. Andreas walks us through the mechanics of what's actually happening when it comes to oil, natural gas, and the broader commodities complex.We cover everything from the basics (WTI vs. Brent, what actually comes out of a barrel of crude, why it costs Saudi Arabia $5 to extract oil and the U.S. $50) to the trades being put on right now, why China is likely hurting the most, and what the 45-day timeline to $150 oil actually looks like. Andreas also had his war insurance canceled in real time while we were recording, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about where things stand.Whether you work in finance, energy, or you're just trying to understand why your gas prices look the way they do this is the best crash course you'll get in commodities in under an hour.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HEREShop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

The U.S. State Department is asking Americans in Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to register online to receive assistance from authorities to leave the region amid the conflict with Iran. U.S. citizens can contact the State Department directly at +1-202-501-4444 for assistance.Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry says it's preparing a response after two suspected Iranian drones injured four people.

As Israel and the US continued to bomb Iran after killing the country's supreme leader Ali Khamenei, Iran lashed out at its neighbours with multiple drone strikes, including against the US embassy in Riyadh.Saudi Arabia and Iran have a long and bitter rivalry. Yet, in recent years, the Saudis had begun building new diplomatic relationship with Iran, even as they and other Gulf states continued to host American military bases, and court American investment.Now the Gulf states find themselves in the middle of the very regional conflict many of its leaders hoped to avoid. It's one which threatens longstanding efforts to cement the Gulf as a hub for finance, travel and tourism, and as an oasis of security.Were they blindsided? Or did some actually want the US to attack Iran? With the US and Israel seemingly calling the shots, what will the Gulf states do now?In today's episode, we speak to Simon Mabon, a professor of international relations at Lancaster University in the UK and expert in Saudi-Iran relations, about how the Gulf's delicate balancing act between the US and Iran came toppling down.This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany and Katie Flood.

A new wave of attacks were carried out against Iran, as the war in the region moves into a fifth day. Reuters reports that retaliatory strikes hit multiple areas including the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Oil prices continued to surge as a result of ongoing fighting. Evan Halper of the Washington Post joins to discuss why what happens to a key shipping route could affect global fuel prices. And the BBC reports on how European countries are struggling to hold a united position on the war. Plus, a Georgia man was convicted for giving his son a gun allegedly used in a school shooting, the labor secretary’s two top aides are resigning, and why buying a dinosaur has become a new trend in the auction world. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecelia Lei.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss a recent Iranian missile attack that struck a US naval facility in Bahrain, potentially causing American casualties and being celebrated by local Bahrainis. Citing former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson, Jimmy discusses whether the US Navy is now strategically trapped in the Persian Gulf after losing its primary port, with ships facing a week-long journey to reload missiles.  Jimmy adds that Saudi Arabia has been drawn into the conflict by an Israeli false flag attack, warning that Iran could destroy regional oil infrastructure if its own fields are targeted. He concludes the US is blindly following Israeli interests in a war with no exit strategy, which could ultimately lead to Israel's downfall using its "Samson Option" nuclear doctrine. Plus segments on Trump's ACTUAL end goal from the Iran war, a congressional witness getting cut off before revealing the truth about the CIA's operations in Iran and Max Blumenthal on the Greater Israel project. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeffrey Toobin!

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Special Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers the latest on the widening war with Iran and the global economic and military consequences now unfolding across the Middle East and beyond.  Bryan begins with the tragic confirmation that six U.S. service members were killed by an Iranian drone strike at a U.S. base in Kuwait, while Tehran continues launching missile and drone attacks across the region targeting Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The conflict is now rattling global markets as LNG shipments halt, oil hubs burn, and the battle over the Strait of Hormuz threatens energy supplies for Asia and Europe. The episode then moves inside Iran, where U.S. and Israeli forces have struck thousands of targets including a secret nuclear facility outside Tehran uncovered through surveillance and intelligence cooperation between the CIA and Mossad. Iran's air defenses, missile systems, and much of its navy have been destroyed, giving allied forces near-total control of the skies as the war grinds forward. Bryan also covers the expanding regional front as Israeli forces move into Lebanon to confront Hezbollah, while global powers reposition around the conflict. Russia benefits from rising oil prices, China quietly sits on large oil reserves while watching Taiwan, and Europe scrambles to protect its energy supplies as the war reshapes global alliances. Finally, Bryan explains the political battle now unfolding in Washington, where lawmakers are debating presidential war powers, the legality of the Iran operation, and whether the true objective of the conflict is limited strikes or full regime change in Tehran.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: March 4 2026 Wright Report, Iran war escalation Kuwait drone strike US casualties, Strait of Hormuz oil crisis LNG disruption, CIA Mossad intelligence Iran nuclear facility strike, Hezbollah Lebanon Israel conflict expansion, Russia oil profits Ukraine missile shortage, China oil reserves Taiwan surveillance reduction, Trump war powers debate Iran conflict, global recession risk energy shock

I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day of the week. Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Visit PrayGiveGo.us for Patreon, Substack, Books & everything else! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. A lot has happened in the Middle East this week. There is much to pray for, but I want to focus specifically on reminding us all to pray for the believers in the various countries in the middle of (or even in the periphery of) the current conflict: Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (those are just off the top of my head, although I think that covers most of the nations either bordering Iran or somehow involved in the conflict). I took a few minutes to put these nations into four groups, based on the similarities as to how they treat local Christians, or missionaries, within their borders.

1. Operation Epic Fury – Day 3 The U.S. and Israel continue coordinated strikes on Iranian military targets. Iranian missiles, drones, and aircraft have been intercepted across the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. 2. Netanyahu Rejects Claims of Dragging U.S. Into War Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu states it’s “ridiculous” to claim Israel pushed the U.S. into war. Praises Trump as a strong leader acting independently based on American interests. Emphasizes Iran’s threat as “50 North Koreas” and committed to America’s destruction. 3. U.S. Intelligence: Imminent Threat Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iranian attacks on U.S. assets were imminent. Intelligence indicated Iran planned retaliation if Israel struck its missile program. U.S. wants to prevent Iran from rebuilding missile or drone capabilities. 4. Saudi Arabia Involved Saudi Defense Ministry reports intercepting and destroying eight Iranian drones. Two drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, causing a fire but no injuries. 5. Vice President JD Vance: “No Multi-Year War” Says Trump will not allow another Iraq/Afghanistan‑style conflict. Emphasizes a clear objective: Iran must not gain or rebuild nuclear capabilities. Claims this mission avoids the “mission creep” of past wars. 6.

States negotiations failed, leaving military action as the only option. 7. Pentagon Statement by Pete Hegseth Addresses U.S. service members directly in a highly motivational speech.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump will go down as one of the greatest Presidents in history.  He strengthened the border, the military, NATO, and is protecting us from the Iranian regime. The Marxists, Islamists and neo-fascists, like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, are the enemies from within. They undermine Trump, the military, and our national alliances.  Those media-types and politicians who pretend they don't know what threat the Iranian regime has posed to America are either liars or morons. For 47-years the Iranian regime has threatened to destroy us, has been at war with us, has launched directly and indirectly scores of acts of terrorism, has killed 1,000 of our military heroes and maimed thousands, has killed American citizens, has attempted to assassinate our presidents, and has been developing nuclear and ICBM technology. Every president of both parties has dealt with this, all inadequately until Trump. Every National Security Strategy report issued over the last several decades to Congress has highlighted Iran's threat. Our national security plans have had to deal with it and the frauds and phonies in the media and Democrats pretend they have no idea what the imminent threat is? They want us to wait until we are attacked. Later, this campaign against Iran has been so successful that we're now being joined by France, Britain - even Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. The world is rallying around the United States of America because of our president, because of our military, because of our victories. Afterward, Sen Dave McCormick calls in and praises the U.S. military's spectacular performance in Iran over the last 72 hours. There was exceptional coordination with Israel and more than 2,000 offensive missions that destroyed key Iranian infrastructure and leadership tiers but more work remains to defang the regime.

On the fourth day of the US and Israel's war against Iran, Tehran has widened its retaliatory attacks in the Gulf region, with two of its drones hitting the US embassy in Saudi Arabia. Iran has threatened to ''set fire'' to any ship passing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil and gas shipping route. The cost of hiring an oil supertanker from the Middle East to China has doubled since last week, reaching an all-time high of more than $400,000 a day. In the US, Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells journalists "the hardest hits" on Iran are "yet to come". Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance insists that the conflict will not drag on for years. As the Trump administration seeks to justify its military campaign, what do Americans make of the decision to attack Iran? We hear from voters in Texas.Also: US lawmakers have released Bill and Hillary Clinton's video testimonies about Jeffrey Epstein, totalling around nine hours' worth of footage.

A.M. Edition for Mar. 3. The State Department is expanding its diplomatic pullback from the Middle East after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was attacked by an Iranian drone. Plus, with tourists and expats looking on, Persian Gulf nations have thus far managed to intercept the majority of drones and missiles directed at them by Iran. But Oxford Analytica's Rawan Maayeh explains that the countries are struggling to balance a tough response to Iran's attacks with the desire to end fighting and restore a sense of calm. And limited flight operations resume in Dubai, even as airspace across much of the Middle East remains shut. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
