A lot of attention has been given to the Strait of Hormuz amid Iran's closure in response to attacks by the U.S. and Israel. But another key strait in the region, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off the coast of Yemen, has also been threatened with a shutdown, and it's similarly vital to trade. Thomas Juneau is a professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. As an expert on Yemen and the Houthis, Juneau discusses the importance of the strait, the relationship between Iran and the Houthis, and what it would mean if the Bab al-Mandeb Strait were closed.

Au Canada, des militants iraniens anti-régime disent être pris pour cible, non par le régime de Téhéran, mais d'autres membres de la diaspora. Entre partisans d'un changement interne, défenseurs d'une intervention extérieure ou encore monarchistes, les lignes de fracture se durcissent. Nima Machouf est épidémiologiste. Cette militante féministe iranienne est bien connue au Québec. Àceux qui lui demandent pourquoi elle ne se joint pas aux manifestations de la diaspora iranienne à Montréal, elle répond : « Pourquoi je viendrais me pointer dans une manif où on demande ma mort ? » La dernière fois, c'était lors de la manifestation du 8 mars. Ce jour-là, elle défile avec une pancarte « Non à la guerre ». « Ils ont pris ma photo avec cette pancarte, puis ils ont dit : vous voyez cette salope qui est pro régime, bah justement elle est en train de dire non à la guerre. » L'image circule. Et avec elle, les mêmes accusations alors que Nima Machouf milite depuis plus de 40 ans contre le régime. « Avant, les menaces qu'on subissait venaient surtout du gouvernement iranien. Mais depuis janvier, c'est d'une partie de la communauté qui est très, très monarchiste extrémiste », explique-t-elle à notre correspondante à Montréal, Nafi Alibert. « Je suis attaquée parce que je ne suis pas d'accord avec le retour de Pahlavi. Pas d'accord avec la monarchie »   Une intensification des menaces Une pétition est lancée contre elle. Des menaces souvent vagues, mais répétées. Et surtout amplifiées par les réseaux sociaux. « Ce sont des menaces du genre : On devrait lui régler son compte. Beaucoup de haine, à mon égard. D'attaques personnels. À un moment donné, ça devient dangereux. » Alors Nima archive tout : messages, publications, vidéos. Un dossier de preuves qu'elle garde, comme d'autres, au cas où la menace quitterait l'écran. Ce climat n'est pas nécessairement nouveau. Les services de renseignement canadiens documentent depuis des années des tentatives d'intimidation visant la diaspora iranienne. Mais Thomas Juneau, professeur à l'Université d'Ottawa, observe leur « intensification ». « La tragédie de l'opposition iranienne en exil, c'est sa fragmentation, constate-t-il. On a vu beaucoup de cas de menaces entre groupes anti-régime, entre factions monarchistes, MEK, militants pro-démocratie qui ne sont pas affiliés à un mouvement en particulier. » Ce climat de tension s'est alourdi récemment par le meurtre d'un dissident iranien dans l'Ouest canadien. Une affaire ciblée, selon les enquêteurs, toujours devant les tribunaux.  La victime, elle avait signalé des menaces. Leurs conséquences, rappelle Thomas Juneau, ne se limitent pas à ce type de cas extrêmes : « L'impact au niveau émotif est extraordinairement violent. Puis on a des histoires contre les familles en Iran qui sont particulièrement horribles. » À Montréal, une partie du militantisme se replie. En cercle restreint, le regard toujours par-dessus l'épaule.   Les cultivateurs des Gonaïves menacés par la sécheresse En Haïti, les agriculteurs de la plaine des Gonaïves rencontrent de grandes difficultés pour irriguer leurs cultures. S'étendant sur 8 000 hectares, cette plaine constitue l'un des principaux greniers du département de l'Artibonite. Elle se distingue par une production agricole variée, incluant notamment le riz, la patate douce, l'aubergine, le maïs et les haricots. Mais depuis des années, la sécheresse représente une menace majeure pour les cultivateurs, qui dépendent essentiellement des précipitations pour arroser leurs cultures. Un dossier de Ronel Paul.   L'espoir d'un avenir au Venezuela Au Venezuela, une partie de la jeunesse se prend à espérer. Et c'est TalCual qui nous en parle. Aujourd'hui, quand on interroge les jeunes sur leur avenir, il n'est plus rare d'entendre que pour eux, cet avenir se construira dans leur pays et non pas à l'étranger. Ce qui était tout simplement impensable il y a encore huit ans. Mais il s'agit d'un espoir prudent. Car les Vénézuéliens ont appris à se méfier de ceux qui gouvernent le pays. En 2021, ils n'étaient que 50% à faire confiance à leurs institutions. Et cette méfiance, écrit encore TalCual, conduit de nombreux jeunes à repenser le mode de gouvernance. Ils parlent d'une démocratie plus ouverte, moins dépendante des partis. Ils en sont conscients : ces changements prendront du temps. Mais l'espoir est là. De jeunesse, il en est également question dans le Washington Post.  La jeunesse conservatrice, dont certaines figures de plus en plus populaires mettent le parti républicain à rude épreuve. C'est le cas par exemple d'Alec Beaton, 23 ans, un CV modèle, mais aussi un révisionniste revendiqué, qui considère que faire l'apologie d'Hitler est un bon moyen de « taquiner les gens ». De nombreux républicains considèrent Alec Beacon et ses semblables comme de simples trublions qui ne représentent en aucun cas le parti. Mais d'autres s'en inquiètent. A l'image du sénateur du Texas Ted Cruz qui dit avoir été témoin ces 18 derniers mois de propos antisémites au sein de la droite comme jamais il n'en avait entendu dans toute sa vie. Des propos qui trouvent un écho considérable sur les réseaux sociaux, où le moindre discours clivant génère du clic, des likes, ce qui lui donne l'impression d'être largement partagé. Pour le président du CPAC, la grand-messe annuelle des conservateurs, le risque est que les politiques s'en emparent et que cela conduise à une radicalisation généralisée.   Des mots qui tuent La dérive des réseaux sociaux, il en est enfin question au Brésil. Des plateformes où l'on défend la hiérarchie des sexes, le contrôle et la dévalorisation des femmes. Des plateformes où des mots comme « chad », pour parler des hommes ayant confiance en eux et attirants, ou « beta » pour désigner ceux considérés comme soumis, deviennent de plus en plus populaires, notamment sur TikTok. Le spécialiste des sciences sociales Leandro Louro, interrogé par O Globo, parle d'un entonnoir. « Lorsqu'une personne est capturée par l'algorithme, explique-t-il, elle se met à consommer du contenu de plus en plus radical, jusqu'à être ouvertement misogyne et prônant même la violence. » Une apologie de la violence qui se traduit en actes. La semaine dernière, un officier de l'armée a été arrêté pour le meurtre de sa femme à Sao Paulo. L'enquête a révélé que son téléphone regorgeait de discours masculinistes.

In a marathon interview, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre discussed tariffs, 51st-state threats, mixed martial arts and kettlebells with popular and controversial podcast host Joe Rogan. Author Paul Wells and Globe and Mail senior reporter Stephanie Levitz break down Poilievre's performance and whether his appearance helps — or hurts — his push to reach more voters.Next, the federal government says it's ready to help ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz as the war in Iran continues and oil prices rise. Former Canadian envoy to Iran Dennis Horak and Middle East expert Thomas Juneau discuss what the government actually means to contribute — and what Ottawa is prepared to do over concerns about Iranian state officials living in Canada.Plus, for many Canadians, getting alcohol delivered from another province or territory right to their doorsteps is either expensive, or impossible. A Conservative bill wants to change that by allowing Canada Post to ship alcohol anywhere in the country. Chris Holler of Poplar Grove Winery in B.C. explains the shipping restrictions he faces, then Conservative MP Dan Albas, the author of the bill, explains why he believes his push will finally solve this trade barrier.Then, the number of people experiencing homelessness at emergency shelters in Canada is climbing — but not everywhere. Mike Lethby, executive director of The Raft youth shelter, and Sandra Clarkson, CEO of the Calgary Drop-in Centre, outline why their shelters are bucking the trend. This episode features the voices of:Stephanie Levitz, senior reporter for The Globe and MailPaul Wells, author and podcaster Dennis Horak, Former Canadian chargé d'affaires in IranThomas Juneau, former analyst at the Department of National DefenceChris Holler, vice-president of Poplar Grove WineryDan Albas, Conservative MP for Okanagan Lake West—South KelownaMike Lethby, executive director of The Raft youth shelterSandra Clarkson, president and CEO of the Calgary Drop-in Centre

The U.S. and Israel are continuing attacks on Iran for the fourth day.

Thomas Juneau, professor at the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, joins The Decibel to discuss why this is an existential war for the Islamic Republic, what calculations the U.S. and Israel are making and how this could be the beginning of a larger and longer war.

As chaos ensues in the Middle East in the aftermath of US-Israel airstrikes on Iran - which killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - talks of a post-Khamenei country are top of mind for millions.

Host Caryn Ceolin is joined by Thomas Juneau, professor from the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, and Nader Hashemi, an associate professor of Middle East and Islamic politics from Georgetown University. They discuss Canada's endorsement of Trump's military action, global response to the killing of Khamenei, and Iran's complex political future.

Up until last week, it seemed unthinkable for a UN member state to strike a nuclear site. But Israel did just that when it launched its attack on Iran, hitting military and atomic sites, and killing key figures of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It also seemed unthinkable for missiles to penetrate Israel's Iron Dome and destroy infrastructure in cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv. Yet again, civilians are paying the heaviest price. More than 240 people have been killed in Iran so far. In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed in retaliatory strikes. One week on, the war shows no signs of abating, with the US hinting it might get involved, too. A sense of unease has gripped the region, with neighbouring states fearing further escalation. A group of 20 countries including Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt has called for an end to hostilities. In a worst-case scenario, the repercussions could be catastrophic for them, too. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the consequences of the war on the Middle East and asks what will happen to the region if Tehran were to fall? She speaks to Hasan AlHasan, senior fellow for Middle East policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and Thomas Juneau, Middle East researcher and a professor at University of Ottawa, Canada.

Political observers are describing Canada's move as “unprecedented” after foreign minister Anita Anand announced on June 10 the country has joined 4 other allied nations in imposing travel and economic sanctions against two extreme-right wing, Israeli politicians for being part of West Bank settler violence against Palestinians. Canada has slapped similar sanctions on several civilian Israeli settlers three times already since 2024, accusing them of fomenting attacks on Palestinians and their villages–attacks which largely go unpunished. But the listing of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, sitting members of a democratic, Western government that is a long-time ally of Canada, is being seen as an important diplomatic “signalling its extreme displeasure with the Israeli government”. Smotrich is Israel's current finance minister, while Ben Gvir is in charge of national security. Both men live in settlements on the West Bank, and both have made highly controversial remarks about Palestinians, about wanting to annex the West Bank and Gaza for Israel, even that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice is now hearing a case about incitement to genocide because of some of these remarks. While progressive Jewish leaders in Canada have praised the sanctions on the two men, in practise, experts say Canada rarely enforces them. To explain the strategy behind Canada's team approach to the new sanctions on Israeli politicians and what message they're meant to send, on today's episode of North Star, host Ellin Bessner speaks with Thomas Juneau. He is a professor of political science and an expert in Middle East studies at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa. Related links How Canada, France and the U.K. rebuked Israel's renewed military campaign in Gaza and threatened sanctions about expanding settlements, on May 19, in a joint statement.

There's an air of excitement in Ottawa as it prepares for King Charles III to arrive and deliver the speech from the throne, which lays out the Liberal government's plan and priorities. His visit is also widely seen as pushback against U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to turn Canada into the 51st state. But according to the new U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, that saga is over and Canada should move on. He sits with Catherine Cullent to discuss that and the next steps in the Canada-U.S. relationship.Plus, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Canada of emboldening Hamas, a Middle East expert joins The House to talk about if there's been a shift in Canadian-Israeli relations. Then, a constitutional expert, a royal watcher, an Indigenous leader and members of Quebec's sovereignty parties talk about what message King Charles' speech will send to Trump — or whether the whole thing ultimately means nothing to the U.S. president.Finally, the parliamentary bureau chief of the National Post and the Ottawa bureau chief of La Presse explain what to look for in the government's to-do list.This episode features the voices of:Pete Hoekstra, U.S. ambassador to CanadaThomas Juneau, University of Ottawa political science professorPatricia Treble, royal watcherPhilippe Lagassé, Carleton University political science professorPerry Bellegarde, former national chief of the Assembly of First NationsPascal Bérubé, Parti Québécois MNACatherine Gentilcore, Parti Québécois MNARuba Ghazal, Québec solidaire MNAStuart Thomson, National Post parliamentary bureau chiefJoel-Denis Bellavance, La Presse Ottawa bureau chief

This comes after Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement on Saturday that Israel had entered a “long and difficult” new stage of the war. He stopped short of calling this new phase an all-out invasion, but airstrikes have escalated along with an advancing ground incursion.This strategy could have further implications for the region, and Israel's allies in the West – including Canada – will be looking to figure out their parts in this ongoing war.Thomas Juneau is on the show to help us understand this next phase of the war and what it could mean geopolitically.

Craig and Stephanie are joined by former National Security and Intelligence Advisor Vincent Rigby and uOttawa colleague and frequent INTREPID contributor Thomas Juneau to discuss a May 2022 report on reforming Canadian national security. The uOttawa Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) convened a task force of former senior government officials to recommend the path forward on Canadian national security policy and reform. Their report makes a series of recommendations on strategy, tools, governance, and transparency. In this podcast, Messieurs Rigby and Juneau walk through their key observations. The report is here.

In this episode, Stephanie is joined by Intrepid contributor, Thomas Juneau, Major-General Michael Wright, Chief of Defence Intelligence and Commander of Canadian Forces Intelligence Command (CFINTCOM), and Ms. Christine Kennedy, Assistant Chief of Defence Intelligence. The four get into a detailed discussion of what CFINTCOM does, how it is structured and how it is evolving. They also discuss the challenges CFINTCOM is confronting, including the environment and climate change, the war in Ukraine (including disinformation and “debunking”), and AUKUS.

The honking may have stopped in Ottawa, but the debate over the Emergencies Act is far from over. Following the invocation of the Act, there is a requirement for two reviews to take place – one by Parliamentarians, and the other a broader look at government actions. Hopefully, this will contribute to a better understanding of what happened, why, and whether the Trudeau governments actions were appropriate. To discuss these reviews, and the need for transparency, Stephanie sits down with Leah West and Thomas Juneau. They also discuss the implications of the Convoy for the national security community going forward – an issue that Intrepid will certainly be returning to over the next few months. Leah West's guide to the legal thresholds of the Emergencies Act (mentioned in the podcast) can be found on the Intrepid Podcast blog here: https://www.intrepidpodcast.com/blog/2022/2/17/public-order-emergency-a-guide-to-thinking-through-the-legal-thresholds-and-its-justification*Programming note: we will be returning soon with more content regarding events in Ukraine. 2022 shows no signs of slowing down.
