Podcasts about supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei

For months now, Iran has been pounded by American and Israeli missiles and bombs. Much of the leadership has been eliminated, including the former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. After a short period of calm, when it was hoped that diplomacy would prevail, it appears as though war has returned for the time being. Much focus has been given to what the US and Israel are thinking, and how the Gulf states are coping with Iranian attacks on cities, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. But what's happening inside Iran. What’s the damage to the country? What does the leadership want from the conflict? How are the Iranian people viewing the regime, and does it have a future? To help us unpick Iran, we spoke with Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, who specialises in Iran. This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran. By Wednesday, he renewed his threat to use unprecedented force against Iran if it doesn’t comply with the terms of the ceasefire, ahead of scheduled peace talks between Washington and Tehran. But just what the terms of the ceasefire are is in question as Israel continues its campaign in Lebanon against Hezbollah, while Iran and mediator Pakistan declare the US and Israel in breach. Ahead of scheduled negotiations in Islamabad, Horovitz unravels some of the remaining knotty issues facing the three sides, even as each declares victory. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Einat Wilf, a former MK, author and CEO of the newly formed Oz party. Wilf describes the potential fall of the Iranian Islamic Republic's regime as a shift in the magnitude of the fall of the Soviet Union. We discuss the seismic ripple effects on Gaza and the Palestinian Authority. Wilf proposes that this moment is a window of opportunity for Israel to end the ideology of "Palestinianism" -- the end to the Jewish state -- that could quickly shut again. She talks through Israel's need to create firm civil borders of its control in the West Bank and to maintain military control of the remaining areas and have what she calls, "an active occupation." And in the final portion of our conversation, we hear why Wilf formed her new party at this time and what it stands for. And so this week, we ask Einat Wilf, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by Gabriella Jacobs and edited by Ari Schlacht.

Iran's Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country's new supreme leader. The younger Khamenei, aged 56, was long considered a contender for the position, even before an Israeli strike killed his father, and despite never being elected or appointed to a government position. Khamenei has not been seen publicly for days, and now stands as the head of Iran's theocracy and will have final say over all matters of state. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies' Iran Program, who says while Mojtaba is younger, don't expect any sort of change in a hardliner rule of the country.

Iran says it's chosen a successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed last week in US-Israeli airstrikes – but the name has yet to be revealed. Meanwhile Israel and the US continue to strike Iran, with oil depots hit, and Iran carries out more strikes on its Gulf Arab neighbours: we hear from Kuwait.Also in the programme: scientists find a mountain range and huge "blue hole" in the deep Caribbean Sea, with life never before seen; and the American gospel musician finally getting recognition after more than fifty years.(IMAGE: A demonstrator holds an image of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after he was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes.

Iranians across their own country, in the United States and across the world have been celebrating the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes continue. Iranians were first in disbelief but now they dare to dream their country will be free from the brutal Muslim regime of the Ayatollah. Many Iranians who's families fled in the 1970's remember an Iran, in the heart of the Middle East but with Western ideas of promoting individual liberty, democratic governance, and self-rule. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Nazee Moinian, associate fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. and author of the book, "Narratives of Grievance in Iran's Foreign Policy," who shares her family's story and explains why Iranians are so grateful to the United States and Israel for this military action against tyranny.

Eyewitnesses from a city in Iran describe how armed forces loyal to the Islamic regime killed countless protesters in a lethal crackdown on demonstrations earlier this year. Seen through the eyes of people who were in Isfahan, this programme pieces together a snapshot of events from the 8th and 9th of January. That's when huge numbers of people took to the streets to protest decades of oppression and call for an end to the Islamic Republic. Thousands of people across the country were killed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's armed forces. The regime blamed the bloodshed on what it called rioters and street terrorists backed by the countries enemies. The UN has called for an independent investigation. However, any prospect of clarity about what happened is at risk of being overshadowed by the current conflict engulfing the country. The first waves of US and Israeli military strikes on Iran killed Ali Khamenei. There are reports of hundreds of civilian casualties too on a population that's already paid a heavy human price for standing up to the regime.(Photo: A protester flashes a victory sign in front of a fire during a demonstration in Shahin Shahr, Isfahan, Iran, on 9 January , 2026.

President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, defending the military campaign as necessary to prevent a larger nuclear threat and asserting that Iran's air force, navy, and missile capabilities have been largely "knocked out." He denied claims that Israel, under Netanyahu, forced the U.S. into the war, instead claiming that "if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand" because he believed Iran was preparing to attack first amid failed negotiations. In a key moment, Trump announced new strikes targeting Iranian leadership and speculated on post-regime possibilities, noting that many potential moderate successors "are dead" after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He also threatened to cut off all trade ties with Spain, calling the country "terrible" and "unfriendly" for refusing to allow U.S. use of its military bases. Overall, Trump portrayed Operation Epic Fury as progressing ahead of schedule, while the conflict widened with Iranian retaliatory strikes on Gulf targets and U.S. pledges to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

On Saturday, after a third round of failed negotiation with the aspiring nuclear state of Iran, the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation called Epic Fury. Those strikes were successful in eliminating the majority of Iranian Senior leadership, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. War is never a decision to be taken lightly, as lives and nations hang in the balance. I sat down with Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy here at Heritage, to talk about what has led up to this conflict in Iran and what she hopes to see going forward. --- Thoughts?

The United States and Israel launch Operation Epic Fury, a massive coordinated strike targeting Iran's leadership and military infrastructure, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and striking hundreds of regime and weapons sites across the country. Lawmakers and voters react sharply to the Iran strikes as retaliation begins, and U.S. casualties mount. Federal authorities investigate possible terrorism ties after a gunman killed two people and injured more than a dozen in a downtown Austin shooting hours after Iran's Supreme Leader was killed.

Over the weekend, the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes that reportedly hit more than 2,000 targets across Iran. In response, Iran struck sites across the Middle East.

Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist at POLITICO, lays out what's likely to happen next and why it matters.And in headlines, Senator Lindsey Graham insists regime change is not the goal in Iran, Democrats mostly oppose the war (with some notable exceptions), and someone struck it big in a prediction market gamble on when the U.S. would strike Iran.Show Notes: Check out Nahal's latest on the war in Iran Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Operation Epic Fury, the decisive U.S.-led military campaign authorized by President Trump, has achieved striking early success by crippling Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile stockpiles, air defenses, and key Revolutionary Guard command centers shortly after launch. Executed in close partnership with Israel — whose parallel Operation Roaring Lion delivered precision strikes, including the confirmed elimination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — the joint effort combined overwhelming American airpower, stealth bombers, and advanced drones with Israel's deep intelligence and targeted capabilities to rapidly overwhelm Iranian defenses. Supporters hail the operation's progress as a historic demonstration of peace through strength, delivering devastating blows to the regime's terror apparatus and nuclear ambitions ahead of schedule while minimizing prolonged escalation.

After U.S.–Israeli strikes deep inside Iran that killed the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of top leaders, the region is entering one of its most volatile moments in decades. Iran has responded aggressively across the Gulf, targeting or threatening neighboring states, while announcing a temporary leadership structure in Tehran. The stakes now extend far beyond Iran's borders.To make sense of this moment, Mosheh speaks again with Washington Post journalist and former Tehran correspondent Jason Rezaian — who spent 544 days imprisoned by the Iranian regime and has deep knowledge of the country and the regime.Just 36 hours into this new phase of conflict, Rezaian breaks down how significant the removal of Iran's top leadership really is, whether cracks could emerge inside the security forces, and how the Islamic Republic has maintained power for decades. We examine the real scenarios ahead and what Iranians are feeling on the ground. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.

After a surprise joint attack by U.S. and Israeli military forces on Iran killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Reza Pahlavi, a leader of the Iranian opposition to the Islamic Republic and the son of the late deposed shah of Iran. Pelley reports on this pivotal moment for Iran's leadership, whether regime change is coming, who leads a future transition, and what happens to Iran's nuclear weapons. Federal judges are under threat as never before. A 60 MINUTES investigation found that judges who have ruled against the Trump administration have become top targets. 60 MINUTES spoke with 26 federal judges – 9 Democratic appointees and 17 Republican, both sitting and retired. As Bill Whitaker reports, the sitting judges tell 60 MINUTES they feel under siege – and fear for their safety and for the future of the country. For the past two weeks, the father of an accused mass shooter has been on trial in Barrow County, Georgia. Prosecutors there say he ignored glaring red flags before his teenage son shot up Apalachee High - a tragedy that left 4 dead. This is not the first time the parent has been put on trial. Sharyn Alfonsi reports on an earlier, precedent-setting case from Oxford, Michigan where both the school shooter and his parents now sit behind bars, raising the question: Will holding parents accountable help break the cycle of school shootings in America?

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they marvel at the accomplishments of Operation Epic Fury in Iran, discuss the Iranian military's retaliatory missile strikes across the Middle East, and wonder how we get Iran to become a stable country that's not always trying to kill us.First, they react to the stunning execution, complexity, and success of Operation Epic Fury. Dozens of senior Iranian leaders are reported dead, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and U.S. and Israeli forces appear to have established overwhelming aerial dominance as operations continue. Jim and Greg also push back on claims that the conflict was an unprovoked war.Next, they detail Iran's military response, including missile attacks targeting multiple countries across the Middle East. At least four American service members were killed in the strikes. Jim notes that a weakened and desperate regime fighting for survival can still inflict serious damage.Finally, they try to get a handle on how the transition to a better, more responsible Iran is supposed to unfold. Does the U.S. have specific people in mind as transitional figures or long-term leaders or is expected to happen organically? Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Go to https://CoastPay.com/MARTINI to see how you can earn up to a $2000 credit.New episodes every weekday. 

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as we begin day three of "Operation: Epic Fury", discussion focuses on President Trump's carefully timed decision to take out Iran's Supreme Leader over the weekend, thus launching a World War that will have implications on every level imaginable. On Sunday the President vowed to "avenge" the deaths of three U.S. service members killed in action as the conflict involving Iran deepens across the Middle East. Trump's remarks, his first public statement since the U.S.-Israel strikes that led to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials, signaled a potentially prolonged confrontation. Also Iranian-Americans celebrating in the streets, the constitutionality of the wartime powers act, who will resume power in Iran and audio from an ignorant Senator Mark Kelly.

The Middle East faces a major geopolitical shift following a joint U.S. and Israeli operation in Iran that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several top commanders. President Trump ordered the strike with the goal of "giving the country back to the Iranian people," sparking debate in Washington over executive authority and the War Powers Act. Texas Republican Congressman Pat Fallon, a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, joins the Rundown to discuss the strategic implications of the attack, and the risk of retaliation at home. With 30 million Americans living with a rare disease, is the traditional "blockbuster" drug model failing the approximately one in 11 people who need specialized care? Judy Stecker, founder of Wheeler's Warriors and former HHS official, joins us to discuss a historic shift at the FDA. From the groundbreaking use of genome editing to treat metabolic diseases to the emotional journey of her son Wheeler, Stecker explains how she believes the science of "genetic patches" has finally outpaced our regulatory system.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's new information that contradicts what the Democrats and their media have been saying about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent. There's been an effort to portray her as a non-activist, but she was a Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch' ‘warrior' who was trained to resist the feds before the shooting. The Democrat party and their media are responsible for this shooting with their violent rhetoric. Also, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are the worst type of grifters. There are enemies to people of deep Christian faith, Jews, patriotic Americans supporting President Trump, and those opposing the rise of Islamism and Marxism in the country. These grifters, motivated by millions in profits from a niche audience, have abandoned their past personas to preach anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, Christian-bashing, and America-hating, stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back while using Saul Alinsky tactics to target, personalize, and assassinate characters, often Jews. Later, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a 230-196 passage of a three-year extension of expired Obamacare health care tax credits. This extension, unlikely to pass the Senate unchanged, imposes tens of billions in costs on taxpayers without systemic reforms, perpetuating inefficient, second-class government-run health care akin to Bernie Sanders' proposals. Afterward, Iran enforced a nationwide internet blackout as protests demanding the removal of the Islamic government and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei escalated across cities. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei" and "freedom, freedom." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
