When does military action become a moral necessity rather than a political choice?In Episode 492 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines one of today's most controversial questions: when, if ever, is war justified. Drawing on historical examples ranging from World War II to today's conflicts in the Middle East, Andrew discusses accusations of "warmongering," America's relationship with Israel, military deterrence, and whether lasting peace sometimes requires the willingness to fight. He also examines public perception of Israel following October 7, the role of media narratives, congressional efforts to reduce U.S. aid to Israel, and why he believes support for America's closest ally has shifted so dramatically.The episode concludes with Andrew's prediction that accusations historically directed toward Israel will increasingly be applied to the United States itself in the years ahead.Whether you agree or disagree, this episode challenges listeners to examine the difficult intersection of history, diplomacy, national security, and moral responsibility.Listen now, be sure to subscribe, and never miss an episode.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved.

When senator Lindsey Graham unexpectedly died this week, he left behind a new uncertainty in US politics. Known as a critical deal-maker in Congress, Republicans have lost a key bridge between the Democrats – and Donald Trump. Graham was also one of the few remaining Reagan-style Republicans and his death leaves questions around the future of US foreign policy, particularly on Ukraine and Israel. Reged Ahmad speaks to the Guardian's Washington bureau chief, David Smith, back from being on the ground in South Carolina, about whether Graham's death marks a new moment in the future of the Republican party

Donald Trump’s peace in the Middle East has failed for a second time, with war restarting with Iran to match the active hostilities still raging in Gaza. Now, the battered Iranian regime is asserting its control of the Strait of Hormuz. So is this modern-day piracy something we just have to get used to - or is there a way back?

The US president has said the truce with Iran is ‘over' amid 48 hours of intense strikes. In the days leading to this escalation, three tankers were attacked by Iran in the strait of Hormuz, raising questions about the clarity of the ceasefire agreement signed in June.

The wool is being pulled completely over our eyes, and it's time to call out the total farce playing out on the global stage!

You are not going to believe the jaw-dropping concessions being made in this newly leaked 14-point U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)!

Big things are shifting across the globe!

Donald Trump is claiming his Iran peace plan is a victory for Washington, despite the 14-point agreement revealing significant concessions to Tehran. Under the deal, Iran will reopen the strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets, while talks will continue over the fate of Iran's nuclear programme.

Donald Trump has urged Russia to ‘make a deal' with Ukraine as the leaders of G7 countries meet on Tuesday and try to put the conflict back at the top of the agenda.

The US and Iran have reached a tentative deal to end the conflict in the Middle East, but competing claims from Donald Trump and Tehran have left the details shrouded in uncertainty. Questions remain over the reopening of the strait of Hormuz, Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, and the future of Iran's nuclear programme.

Early this morning, Iran launched retaliatory strikes on American bases in the region, after the US military struck strategic locations near the Strait of Hormuz, which were themselves a response to Iran's downing of a US Army helicopter earlier this week. This came shortly after Iran and Israel exchanged fire over the weekend. Suzanne Maloney is a leading expert on Iran and the Persian Gulf policy at the Brookings Institution.

Israel and Iran have exchanged direct strikes for the first time since a ceasefire was reached in April, raising fears of a return to a full-scale regional war. The Israeli strikes are in apparent defiance of Donald Trump, who told Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to retaliate against Iran, in order to avoid derailing peace talks.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

Send us Fan MailThe Architecture of Empire: Walter L. Hixson on the Israel Lobby and the Machinery of Endless WarPart Two: The Nakba's Blast Radius and the Capture of U.S. Foreign PolicyEpisode DescriptionSeventy-eight years ago, the Nakba dismantled Palestinian society. Today, we are living inside its blast radius.What began in 1948 with the violent mass displacement of over 700,000 people has metastasized into a sprawling, multi-front geopolitical fire. We are now watching the Middle East get swallowed by a disastrous and widely rejected regional war with Iran—a conflict fueled by corrupt demagogues desperate to trade human lives for their own political survival.How does a republic repeatedly bankrupt its moral standing and its treasury to underwrite conflicts its citizens actively despise? It doesn't happen by accident. It is engineered.In Part Two of our historical deep-dive into the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship, host Jeremy Rothe-Kushel reaches back to a profoundly relevant late-2021 conversation with diplomatic and cultural historian Walter L. Hixson.Stripping away the polite fictions of Washington double-speak, Hixson exposes the actual plumbing of imperial power. We break down the modern Israel lobby in plain daylight: the massive flow of capital, the ruthless political coercion, and the organized infrastructure of silence that captures U.S. foreign policy and locks the American public into a perpetual cycle of militarism and repression.If we are ever going to extinguish the fire, we must first understand exactly who built the furnace. Step beyond the walls with us.Guest Bio: Walter L. Hixson is a diplomatic and cultural historian, a contributing editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the author of numerous vital books, including Architects of Repression: How Israel and Its Lobby Put Racism, Violence and Injustice at the Center of US Middle East Policy and Imperialism and War: The History Americans Need to Own.Listen & Explore Further:Walter Hixson's Bio & Work: University of AkronExplore the Show Archives: Listen to past episodes, including Part 1 with Grant Smith, at the KKFI Understanding Israel Palestine archive: kkfi.org/program/understanding-israel-palestine/Beyond the Walls Substack: beyondthewalls.substack.com

Donald Trump has indefinitely extended the US ceasefire with Iran after talks looked increasingly uncertain between both sides. Trump said he would ‘extend the ceasefire until such time as [Iran's] proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other'.

Melania Trump made a surprise appearance at the White House on Thursday to announce that she ‘never had a relationship' with the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her address has seemingly put Epstein back on the political agenda when focus had been firmly on the US and Israel's war in Iran. The intervention came at a difficult time for her husband, Donald Trump, as the fragile ceasefire agreed between the US and Iran seemed to be at risk of falling apart, and as US lawmakers are raising the alarm over the president's mental stability.

Mainstream narratives claim progress in the Iran war—but the reality may be far different. Joined by Jack Maxey, we break down the growing gap between official statements and open-source reporting, rising casualties, and the escalating intensity of the conflict.From questions about Israel's air defenses to the expanding role of regional actors like the Houthis, this war is revealing cracks in assumptions long treated as unquestionable. Meanwhile, Americans are once again left in the dark—without clear casualty counts, honest reporting, or constitutional accountability.At what point do we confront the deeper issue: a pattern of undeclared wars driven by executive power rather than the will of the people?This is not just about foreign policy—it's about truth, accountability, and the cost of unchecked authority.SPONSOR:My Gold Guy - https://mygoldguy.com/twomikes

Donald Trump has said he is considering pulling the US out of Nato, likening the alliance to a ‘paper tiger'. It comes after weeks of denouncements from the US president against allies for not helping to reopen the strait of Hormuz.
