Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Matt and Doug discuss a reported US–Iran peace deal whose MOU hasn't been released, doubting it will last due to Israel–Iran hostility and Israeli opposition, while arguing the US bombing of Iran was unnecessary and that the deal looks like a US surrender with potential reparations (estimated $300B) and possible UAE/private funding plus future service fees after 60 days. They then focus on provisions in the NDAA (Section 219) and an Intelligence Authorization Act measure (Sen. Tom Cotton) that would fuse US–Israel military and intelligence programs, outlining six harms: inability to stop unwanted wars, technology leakage (AI/quantum) possibly to China, US contractors losing business, Gaza-tested AI targeting tools entering US systems, Israeli espionage risks, and irreversible entanglement by FY2027. The conversation also covers Trump's credibility, government involvement in AI companies and energy-hungry data centers, China's open-source AI stance, IMF conditional lending in Papua New Guinea, rising authoritarian security policies in Peru, and broader fears of global conflict. 00:00 Iran US Peace Deal 01:08 Why Bomb Iran 02:31 Israel Leverage Theories 04:21 China Oil Shock Absorber 06:58 Trump Character Spin 10:02 Reparations And Tolls 11:18 Israel Lebanon Sticking Point 12:21 Israel As 51st State 14:59 Six Ways It Hurts 21:36 USS Liberty And AIPAC 24:32 AI Data Centers Bubble 28:24 AI As Strategic Weapon 33:42 World War Three Thesis 36:31 IMF In Papua New Guinea 39:48 Peru Fujimori Crackdown 43:47 Authoritarian Trend Fears 45:44 Hopeful Wrap And Outlook

Lord Speaker's Corner returns as the Iranian-born Bishop of Chelmsford shares the extraordinary family story behind a pillowcase pierced by four bullets aimed at her father. In the first episode of a new series, Lord Forsyth of Drumlean speaks to the Rt Revd Guli Francis-Dehqani about survival, faith, and what her experience reveals about Iran today.In this episode“My mother was shot. (She) threw herself over him in an effort to protect him”Bishop Francis-Dehqani recalls how, during the 1979 Iranian revolution, gunmen climbed into her family home and opened fire on her parents as they slept. After her brother was later killed in an ambush believed to target her father, the family fled to the UK, carrying with them a pillowcase that came to symbolise survival, forgiveness, and reconciliation.“I absolutely believe this regime is in its death throes, but death throes can last for quite a long time… democracy, the kind of freedom we might imagine, it's not born overnight. A nation has to learn to be a democracy, and Iran is far from that.” Bishop Francis-Dehqani also reflects on the current conflict in Iran, explaining that power works more like a spider's web than a pyramid. On the US/Israel attack, she says: “I had quite a strong sense that this is not how things are going to change in Iran… I don't know where this ends. It is horrific, but my sense is that President Trump unleashed something without fully understanding the consequences, imagining that it was going to be a quick fix. Underestimating actually the Iranian regime and the Iranian people.” Bishop Francis-Dehqani warns that ordinary Iranians are now caught between a vicious repression and fear of more bombing and need a credible resistance around which they can unite.Listen now to hear more of the Bishop of Chelmsford's remarkable first-hand story and unique perspective on what is happening in Iran today.See more from the series https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

More than 100 days since the US and Israel launched co-ordinated strikes on Iran on February 28, the war that was supposed to eliminate its threat and reshape the region is at a crossroads. Iran's military is still firing. Its proxies are still active. Hezbollah continues to engage Israeli forces on the ground in southern Lebanon. The Houthis have re-entered the equation, threatening to blockade the Red Sea. And the Iranian regime, in a new form, is intact. This week, US President Donald Trump made his position clear in an interview with the Financial Times. He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept a deal with Iran. And then, in a striking public statement, said he calls the shots. Not Netanyahu. So is this a genuine rift between the two allies, or just the latest rough patch in a relationship that has long been complicated? In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to two people who have spent decades at the centre of the US-Israel relationship: Tom Nides, US ambassador to Israel under former president Joe Biden, and Ehud Olmert, prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009.

Episode 4141 │ June 8, 2026 Congress is locking the US into a permanent military alliance with Israel by voice vote — no record, no debate, no treaty and no accountability. Scott Kesterson delivers a comprehensive breakdown of two simultaneous congressional measures — NDAA Section 224 in the House and Senate Bill S.4615 Section 622 — that together would permanently embed the US-Israel military relationship into federal statute, bypassing the constitutional treaty process, removing annual appropriations oversight, and creating procedural barriers against any future president or Congress attempting to limit the relationship. The episode opens with a 57-year legal history beginning with the illegal diversion of weapons-grade uranium from a US contractor to Israel in the 1960s, the CIA and FBI confirmation of that operation, the Nixon-Meir secret agreement of 1969 establishing official US blindness toward Israel's nuclear program, and the Symington and Glenn Amendments of 1976 and 1977 — laws banning military aid to undeclared nuclear states — that have never once been enforced against Israel in five decades. Scott traces the 2012 Obama-era classified gag order making it a punishable offense for federal officials to discuss Israel's nuclear capabilities, the lone litigation record built by Grant Smith and IR MAP through federal courts from 2014 to 2019, and the May 2026 letter from 30 House Democrats demanding Rubio answer 11 specific questions about Israel's nuclear doctrine — questions that remain unanswered as of air date. The episode connects these threads to the removal of Thomas Massie from Congress via $32.6 million in coordinated AIPAC, Trump super PAC, and Christians United for Israel spending, the concept of a managed polarization operation designed to fragment public resistance, and the 13-pillar County by County model as the only viable path of local sovereign response. What do NDAA Section 224 and Senate Bill S.4615 Section 622 actually mandate — and why were they advanced by voice vote with no public record? What are the Symington and Glenn Amendments, and why has a law banning military aid to undeclared nuclear states never been enforced against Israel in 50 years? What was the Nixon-Meir Agreement of 1969, and how did it establish the policy of deliberate US blindness toward Israel's nuclear weapons program? What is a managed polarization operation — and how is it being used to prevent organized public resistance to US-Israel entanglement? What constitutional argument exists to challenge these provisions, and why does the litigation timeline extend to 2033 at the earliest?

Earlier this week, it looked as though tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Iran had jeopardised a two-month ceasefire. The new hostilities threatened to once again place the Middle East on the precipice of a full-blown regional war. And then Donald Trump stepped into the fray. Today Middle East and security analyst Rodger Shanahan discusses what led to these strikes, and what they mean for the fragile negotiations between Iran and the United States.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caitriona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann unpack the extraordinary falling-out between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - a reportedly "blazing row" that both men have since confirmed. Trump was left "perturbed" that Israeli operations in Lebanon risked derailing his Iran negotiations. But it isn't the first time he has vented at Netanyahu in public. Both insist they still speak almost daily and remain close. But American and Israeli interests in the Iran war are increasingly diverging, US opinion has turned - Pew now finds around 60% of Americans hold an unfavourable view of Israel, up from the low 40s before the 2023 war in Gaza - and influential MAGA voices like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are openly questioning the alliance. With Netanyahu accused at home of turning Israel into a "vassal state", his resistance to a two-state solution stalling Trump's cherished Abraham Accords, and the war itself looking like a strategic failure, is the "ironclad" US-Israel relationship finally starting to crack?

This week: 249 days into a ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 951 Palestinians in Gaza. Israel attacks tent camp in Gaza city. 100 days since US and Israel launched war on Iran. Israel continues to strike Lebanon despite ceasefire. Israel has killed at least 72,961 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7th, 2023.

Jess & Jamal examine a development that raises difficult questions about intelligence, alliances, and the future of U.S. foreign policy. The Pentagon has reportedly elevated its counterintelligence threat assessment regarding Israel, citing concerns about espionage and intelligence security. At the same time, lawmakers in Congress are advancing proposals aimed at deepening military integration between the United States and Israel. How can Washington reconcile growing counterintelligence concerns with efforts to strengthen strategic cooperation, and who will end up paying for them?

The most talked about national team heading into this year's FIFA World Cup, Iran's campaign has been clouded by the ongoing US-Israel war and the political situation surrounding the team. It's from that situation that star striker Sardar Azmoun has been left out, and we discuss the implications of that, as well as other key injuries, as well as the age profile of the team as we ask whether this is one step too far for this generation. Plus, we also get the thoughts of Hatam Shiralizadeh from Tasnim News Agency.

Reports of growing tension between Trump and Netanyahu have sparked questions about the future of the US-Israel relationship as the war in Gaza continues and tensions with Iran remain high. Tonight we examine the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, the controversy surrounding civilian casualties, Trump's reported comments about Netanyahu, and a proposed expansion of US-Israeli military cooperation involving AI, cyber warfare, autonomous systems, and advanced defense technologies. Is the alliance changing, or is the Middle East moving toward an even more dangerous chapter?Check Out Our Sweet Merch

The fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese government is overshadowed by an already notorious phone call where Donald Trump reportedly dropped multiple F-bombs on Benjamin Netanyahu for threatening Israeli strikes on Beirut. Yonit and Jonathan dissect the increasing strain in the US-Israel relationship - and a new equation set by Iran that will alarm all Israelis. Meanwhile, two warning signs this week for the state of Israeli democracy, as Netanyahu appoints his personal lawyer as State Comptroller, with members of the Knesset pressured to reveal their secret ballot - and a mob vandalizes the home of a Supreme Court justice in a bid to intimidate the judiciary over demands to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from mandatory military service. Also - an inquiry into antisemitism in UK's cherished NHS, while Canada's PM admits the country failed its Jews, prompting a new advisory council with a questionable membership. And finally (and thankfully), it's a crowded field for our mensch of the week award.   00:00 Introduction and Overview of Current Events 02:47 The Impact of Smartphones on Society 05:38 Ceasefire Agreements and Regional Tensions 09:22 US-Israel Relations and Political Dynamics 13:13 Political Appointments and Democratic Erosion in Israel 18:50 Judicial Intimidation and the Rule of Law 23:02 Global Anti-Semitism and Responses 29:35 Celebrating Women in Film: Helen Mirren and Emma Thompson 35:17 A Culinary Milestone: Mutra's Michelin Star  

Ltc. (ret.) Karen Kwiatkowski discusses the controversial legislative section within the NDAA that would deeply integrate the Israeli military into the American defense acquisition and tech sectors. Kwiatkowski criticizes this as a method to fund foreign military interests without public debate while also warning about the erosion of free speech and the rise of the surveillance state. She examines the shifting dynamics of global power (e.g. Iran, Ukraine), arguing that the U.S. is in a period of imperial decline characterized by a hollowed-out economy and failing proxy wars. Additional topics include the dystopian future of robotic warfare and the use of AI for population control, yet she remains hopeful in the potential for resistance against state overreach.  Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

A heated Axios report claims Donald Trump called Benjamin Netanyahu “crazy” over Israel's actions in Lebanon. In this PBD Podcast clip, Patrick and Mehdi Hasan break down the leak, media spin, US‑Israel power dynamics, and what it means for Gaza and the Iran war

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump says he thinks the US can reach an interim peace deal with Iran soon, with discussions continuing "at a rapid pace." Iran's negotiators are discussing their "final text" to send to the US, but are wary of the US due to previous breached pledges. A ceasefire in Lebanon is a key part of the potential memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, with Iran insisting on a stop to fighting as part of the deal.2) The White House will reduce tariffs on agricultural equipment, such as combines and harvesters, to reduce costs for US farmers and manufacturers. The tariffs would drop to 15% from 25%, with a lower 10% duty rate possible if capital equipment contains at least 85% US steel or aluminum. The concession takes effect June 8 and would run through the end of 2027, according to a White House fact sheet.3) The Trump administration's plans to scrap a $1.8 billion legal fund for victims of alleged government "weaponization" have been met with skepticism from Republican senators. The fund was created as part of a settlement resolving the president's lawsuit against the IRS over the 2019 leak of his tax information, and was intended to compensate those alleging they were victims of politically motivated investigations or legal action. Several Republican senators have demanded public assurances that the fund is dead, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune saying "that would be the ideal outcome" and that the administration should make clear the fund won't be established.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SUNDAY WIRE returns with  guest host, Bryan "Hesher" McClain filling in for Patrick Henningsen, joined by Adam "Ruckus" Clark for deeper analysis and an in-depth look at one of the most consequential yet underreported developments currently moving through Washington. Patrick joins via a video link for a walking discussion about the current events as well. At the center of this week's program is language contained within the proposed 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would significantly expand defense cooperation and integration between the United States and Israel. Critics argue that the initiative moves beyond traditional military cooperation and toward a new framework of synchronized defense planning, technology development, intelligence sharing, AI systems, cyber capabilities, industrial coordination, and battlefield integration. Supporters claim the proposal is necessary to address emerging global threats and maintain strategic advantage. The panel explores the constitutional, political, and geopolitical implications of these developments while asking a broader question: At what point does an alliance stop being an alliance and become something else entirely? All this and more on this week's show. Watch this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo5cPmU_Q3M  This month's featured music artists: The Real Anthem Band, Joseph Arthur, Peyoti for President, Peter Conway & Red Rumble, and Phil Zimmerman SUPPORT OUR MEDIA OUTLET HERE (https://21w.co/support)

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Trump's "I don't care about the midterms" clip still rattling through the community and immediately connect it to Trump's statement that the Great Big Beautiful Bill put four years of legislation into one bill because congress is ineffective and Trump already got everything he needed. Chris Paul delivers a full argument: if you pass everything in one bill and you don't care about the midterms, the logical conclusion is that Trump never trusted congress and never intended to rely on it. The Atlantic's "Trump might already be a lame duck" article gets a thorough dissection as pure narrative seeding, with the guys noting that the outlet is simultaneously running Trump collapse and Trump dominance stories in the same news cycle because they genuinely do not know what the results will be. The NDAA Section 224 US/Israel defense cooperation provision gets a fair reading, with Jon pushing back on the viral "full merger" framing and arguing it is disclosure of an already existing relationship. The Ken Paxton Texas win raises the age of Trump vs. age of Trumpism question. The aliens.gov rug pull, the summer ICE protest cycle, CIA gold bars, Fort Knox, and Polymarket as a measurement of narrative consumption round out the show.

90 days and no peace deal, that's where things stand with the US-Israel war with Iran. While there isn't a definitive end to the conflict yet, a 60-day ceasefire extension is reportedly in the works. Americas correspondent Adam Hancock spoke to Lisa Owen.

So, the fifth month of 2026 is complete - and it was another one dominated by the impacts of the US/Israel war in Iran/Lebanon. This week, Gary and Hannah recap May's top 8 travel takeaways from across ASEAN and beyond with stopovers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia, plus China, India and the UK. En route, we discuss flight route cuts across South East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, and look at whether plans for an ASEAN reserve stockpile of crude oil would ease future jet fuel shocks. Meanwhile, visitor arrivals slowed in key markets and cratered in Cambodia and currency values fell sharply in Indonesia and Thailand. On a brighter note, carriers in Singapore and Malaysia are seeing growth on routes with Australia and Europe. Plus, we assess the surge of Indian tourists to Vietnam, and address the potential benefits of Xiaohongshu's impressive tourism tie-up in Singapore .

US inflation in April reached its highest level in three years, driven in part by the war in Iran. The volume of oil flows affected by the conflict is three times larger than the disruption caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, yet many firms – especially in the US – don't seem too concerned. According to our analysts, they should be. Join us for an enlightening, if not light-hearted, discussion about the impact of this crisis and how it affects the economic future for the US, Europe, and the global economy. Our guests: Jane Foley, Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy, RaboResearch Christian Lawrence, Head of Americas & Energy Market Strategy, RaboResearch Joe DeLaura, Senior Energy Strategist, RaboResearch Relevant time stamps: 2:11 – The US-Israel campaign against Iran and the immediate energy market shock. 6:52 – Why markets could be underestimating the length and impact of the crisis. 14:02 – The macroeconomic, inflationary, and consumer impacts of higher energy prices. 27:04 – Implications of the Iran war for Fed policy and interest rates. 31:21 – How the conflict is shifting our perspectives on globalization and geopolitics. 44:43 – Broader macroeconomic themes: taxes, tariffs, European growth, and the economic growth outlook for the rest of the year.

Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical Monday, outlining his priorities in leading the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. While the focus of "Magnificent Humanity" was heavily on his concerns about AI, the pontiff also apologized for one of the Church's historic wrongs: supporting the slave trade. Also, Colombia has faced a dramatic increase in violence in the weeks leading up to its presidential election this weekend. And, with the Strait of Hormuz having now been closed for 88 days, the impact of the closure, along with the US-Israel war with Iran that triggered it, is intensifying rifts among Gulf countries.

Pope Leo has warned that artificial intelligence poses potentially existential risks to humanity and should not be used to concentrate power in the hands of just a few people.Oil prices have fallen sharply on hopes of a deal that could bring an end to the US-Israel war with Iran.And the Italian luxury car giant Ferrari has launched its first ever ever fully electric vehicle called Luce, with a price tag of almost 600,000 dollars. So what does this mean for the electric car market?

For decades, much of the United States media adopted Washington's framing of US conflicts in the Middle East. But the US-Israel war against Iran is defying that trend. US news outlets are increasingly challenging President Donald Trump on his declarations of victory and absence of a clear strategy. Meanwhile, Iran's military remains operational, Tehran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz and fears are mounting that the disruption to global energy supplies will drag on.

But his trip to Norway did not go according to plan when a journalist named Helle Lyng asked him an unscripted question. Lyng was later criticised by Indian news outlets for that exchange. Norway's news media also came under fire after the country's largest newspaper published an orientalist caricature of Modi. Tariq Nafi has been following the story. The dark side of Kenya's digital age Kenya is the tech hub of East Africa and has built a thriving digital economy. But alongside that growth has come an expanding surveillance apparatus. After antigovernment protests in 2024, President William Ruto's administration is accused of intensifying its monitoring of civilians. Critics say the government is trying to quell online dissent before it reaches the streets. Nicholas Muirhead reports on how surveillance tools designed to combat "terrorism" are being turned on Kenya's citizens.

The US/Israel war against Iran is not only a conflict between states but also within states. This is most visible in Gulf states such as Bahrain, which are technically US allies but where wide swaths of the population are against the war. The new website North South Notes published an enlightening article on this topic by Kareema Abbas and Aamer (two writers who are working under pseudonyms). I spoke with Aamer about the crackdown on dissent in Bahrain as well as the wider regional politics that have been enflamed by the war.

Kenya is the latest African country to increase fuel prices citing the US-Israel war with Iran. While announcing one of the steepest pump price increments in recent times, the government reduced Value Added Tax (VAT) on fuel products from 16% to 8%, as the country's political opposition threatens street demonstrations if measures to lower prices further are not taken. In this episode, we explore if electric vehicles are a viable transport alternative in African countries.Also, the global fashion industry produces 92 million tonnes of textile waste every year with much of it ending up in landfills or being burned, according to the United Nations. We hear a Nigerian fashion designer's journey to curb rising fashion waste through upcycling.

Today we dig deep into the US-Israel attack on Iran - Operation Epic Fury - and what's actually going on beneath the spin.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Which war ends first — Russia/Ukraine or U.S./Israel versus Iran? Michael examines two global conflicts that suddenly appear to be moving in opposite directions. Vladimir Putin is hinting that the Russia-Ukraine war could be “coming to an end,” even as ceasefire violations continue and battlefield clashes intensify. Meanwhile, tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran are escalating rapidly, with failed negotiations, military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, and fears of broader regional instability driving energy prices higher. Michael also reflects on Admiral James Stavridis' new geopolitical thriller 2084 and the unsettling future scenarios it imagines. Which conflict is closer to resolution — and which is only becoming more dangerous? Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
