Podcasts about supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei

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.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military, cyber, and intelligence operations against Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed and strikes were conducted on a broad array of targets, including other senior Iranian leadership compounds, IRGC bases, and missile launchers and production facilities. In response, Iran launched hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles against U.S. bases, Israel and countries in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar.  With no signs of the conflict winding down and unclear goals and timelines from leadership in Washington, where is this war headed? Was there ever a serious prospect for negotiations between the United States and Iran? What is the likely impact of the death of Ayatollah Khamenei on succession and the stability of the regime? Is meaningful and lasting regime change or transformation possible?  Join Aaron David Miller as engages with the Brooking Institution's Suzanne Maloney, International Crisis Group's Ali Vaez, and Yale University's Rob Malley on these and other Iran-related issues, on the next Carnegie Connects.

His demise, confirmed by Iranian state media, marks a pivotal moment for the Islamic Republic, which he led for 37 years. While Iran has an elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, real power has historically rested with its supreme leader. Khamenei's death could be the most existential threat to Iran's Islamist regime in its nearly 50 years, but it doesn't necessarily mean a quick end to the theocracy that controls the country.知识点：brace v. /breɪs/to prepare for something difficult or unpleasant 准备迎接（困难或冲击）；绷紧・ Global financial markets are bracing for a wave of interest rate hikes.全球金融市场正屏息以待一轮加息浪潮。・ Residents along the coast braced for the approaching hurricane. 沿海居民做好准备，迎接即将来袭的飓风。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

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.

Kalshi Lawsuit, Musk Loses AI Transparency Fight, and AI Data Center Cost Backlash Jim Love covers a lawsuit against prediction market Kalshi after it refused to pay out roughly $54 million on bets tied to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei leaving office, citing a disputed "death carve-out" clause, as regulators face questions about prediction markets, possible insider trading, and whether they are gambling. He also reports a judge rejecting Elon Musk and xAI's bid to block a California AI transparency law requiring disclosures about training data and safety practices. The episode notes major tech firms pledging not to pass AI data center electricity costs to consumers amid rising regulatory and community pushback.

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.

There's a biblical narrative that mirrors today's war in Iran and cannot be ignored. The Jewish holiday of Purim commemorates the Bible story of Queen Esther of 2,300 years ago, when the young Jewish woman confronts the Persian King Xerxes about the plot to kill all the Jews hatched by his high official Haman. The king then allows the Jews to protect themselves against their aggressors, which becomes a bloody conflict.   Today, many Jewish leaders are noting the parallels in Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who frequently touted "Death to Israel" and was killed just days before Purim began on March 2. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Rabbi Josh Joseph, Executive Vice President and COO of The Orthodox Union, discusses how Purim serves as a continual reminder for the Jewish people to remain diligent in their faith and identity.

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.

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.

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.

On Thursday, the conflict in Iran, which began over the weekend with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, some members of his family, and several other top Iranian officials, continued into a sixth day. Since the initial strikes on Saturday, Israel has ramped up its attacks, with heavy strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iranian military infrastructure in Tehran. As part of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. military has struck nearly 2,000 targets in Iran and “struck or sunk” over 20 Iranian ships, according to U.S. Central Command. According to human rights group HRANA, more than 1,000 civilians— including 181 children under the age of ten — have died so far in the conflict.

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.

What does "America First" actually mean?

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a campaign against Iran targeting military infrastructure and the regime's core leadership. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials died in the attacks, which triggered a leadership crisis and inflamed tensions throughout the Middle East.   In the immediate aftermath, Iran launched extensive barrages of drones and ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, US military bases, ​and other targets in neighboring Gulf states. Energy prices rose sharply. This regional shift carries immediate and enduring consequences for global geopolitics and the stability of international energy flows. ​The outcome of the conflict—and the ultimate fate of the Iranian regime—remains deeply uncertain. Even with these open questions, the trajectory of this escalation will likely redefine the future of Middle Eastern security, global power dynamics, and the world's energy markets. How is the conflict evolving, and how might it end? What are the impacts on Gulf states and what are some of the possible paths forward? And how is this all impacting oil and gas markets across the globe? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with four experts from the Center on Global Energy Policy—Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Richard Nephew, Daniel Sternoff, and Karen Young—to discuss the escalating conflict and its impact on energy and geopolitics. Anne-Sophie is a global research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on hydrogen and natural gas. She previously worked as a senior analyst at BP and the International Energy Agency.

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 Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers a packed episode that opens with the intensifying conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran as coordinated airstrikes continue following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Reports highlight expanding missile exchanges, regional retaliation, U.S. casualties, and international concern as the conflict spills into multiple Middle Eastern nations, disrupting airports, energy markets, and diplomatic stability. Shifting gears, the team recaps a standout night at the NAACP Image Awards, where Black actors lit up the ceremony with big wins, standout fashion moments, and powerful expressions of cultural pride, echoing coverage that “Sinners” dominated the awards and that presenters and honorees addressed ongoing racial and political tensions. Rumors about Zendaya and Tom Holland rise again as multiple outlets report that her stylist, Law Roach, claims the couple quietly married—though neither star has confirmed the alleged secret ceremony. The show closes with Deon Cole’s headline‑making jokes at the NAACP Image Awards, where his sharp comedic “prayer” aimed at Nicki Minaj sparked immediate online backlash, with Barbz flooding social media and sending Cole graphic DMs after the joke went viral.
