Inside the Washington bubble, we look inside the chaos shaping the US-Israeli war on Iran, from celebrations at DC power dinners and the Secretary of State admitting US defense of Israel to the Epstein files fading from public view. With low popular support for the war, can American voters do anything to stop it?

Daniel and Jack are delighted to welcome back - after far too long an absence - the brilliant Amanda Rogers (AKA MsEntropy). We pick Amanda's brains in a conversation about the complexities of the concept of terrorism, its relationship to national states, citizenship, and fascism, with special relevance to America in the grip of Trump, MAGA, and their apparatchiks.  Amanda touches on recent events including the ICE / Border Patrol incursions, the under-reported Prarieland trial of protestors, and most especially the horribly topical issue of the US-Israeli military attack upon Iran.

It is day three of the U.S. Israeli war with Iran as the fighting widens with Tehran launching retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, and Israel trading fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon.President Trump says the strikes will continue “at full force” and warns Americans there will likely be more U.S. casualties, as the White House still hasn't spelled out the war's objectives or how long it could last.And Iran's retaliation is hitting America's Gulf partners hard, with missiles and drones turning places like Doha, Bahrain and Dubai into battle zones.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by James Hider, Tina Kraya, Anna Yukhananov, Miguel Macias, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.

Is the world on the brink of World War 3? Or is the escalating war with Iran—Operation Epic Fury—the most audacious political distraction in modern history? In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, we investigate the terrifying connection between the bombs dropping in the Middle East and the bombshell revelations from the Jeffrey Epstein files that are closing in on President Donald Trump. Just as the Department of Justice was caught red-handed hiding over 50 pages of FBI documents detailing sexual abuse allegations against Trump from the Epstein case, the world was plunged into a new war. Coincidence? Or a calculated “Wag the Dog” maneuver to save a presidency from a scandal that could unravel it all? We follow the smoking-gun timeline, connecting the dots between the DOJ cover-up and the unconstitutional, unauthorized war that has already left American soldiers dead. This is the episode the mainstream media is too afraid to make. We are not just discussing headlines; we are exposing a potential conspiracy that trades lives for silence. In this episode, we dissect: Operation Epic Fury: The truth behind the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. The DOJ Cover-Up: The bombshell NPR report that proves the government is hiding Trump-related Epstein files. The “Wag the Dog” Playbook: How starting a war is a classic tactic to distract from domestic scandal. The Smoking-Gun Timeline: A step-by-step breakdown of how the war started just 48 hours after the Epstein cover-up exploded. The Human Cost: The moral crisis of soldiers dying to bury a political scandal. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains frank discussions of child sexual abuse, military conflict, and political corruption that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. Please take care of your mental and emotional health first. If you are ready to look past the headlines and question the official narrative, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with everyone you know.

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. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, was killed Saturday in a joint US-Israeli strike on his Tehran compound at the outset of a long-planned military operation against the Islamic Republic. Berman weighs in on how, after Khamenei's almost 37 years in power, the regime may choose a new leader -- or whether the people could rise up and create a new paradigm. We speak about the widespread nature of Iran's retaliatory strikes, including on many of its neighboring Arab states. As opposed to the June 2025 12-day war, Iran seems bent on punishing US allies in the region. We hear how these nations, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, are responding so far. International opinion on the US-Israel "preemptive strike" is mixed. Berman explores how nations are walking a fine diplomatic line in their public support -- or condemnation -- of the new war. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at targets across the Middle East, after announcing that its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been killed in US-Israeli attacks. At least 200 people -- most of whom were at a girls' school in the country's south -- have been reported killed in Iran. Three US service personnel have been killed in Iran's response, as well as ten people in Israel. Donald Trump has suggested that Iran's new leadership wanted to talk. Meanwhile, UK government officials are understood to be working on plans to potentially evacuate British nationals from the Middle East.

James Corbett appears in two separate interviews for KLA.TV. In the first, he discusses how the US/Israeli relationship explains Uncle Sam's moves in the Middle East and how technocracy explains the so-called "Donroe Doctrine." In the second, he goes in-depth on the Epstein files and what they reveal about the operations of the kakistocracy.

Israel has never been stronger. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has steadily rolled back its enemies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. A staunch friend of Israel is in the White House, and he might well launch a second wave of strikes on Israel's archenemy in Tehran. Or is Israel historically vulnerable? None of the adversaries it has taken on since the Hamas invasion are defeated. US President Donald Trump is an ally, but both the Democratic and Republican parties have influential and growing wings that are hostile to Israel, if not antisemitic.To make sense of this moment, one needs a grasp of military strategy, Middle East geopolitics, and the workings of the US-Israel relationship. Michael Oren, Israel's former envoy in Jerusalem and a leading Middle East historian, says that the post-October 7 wars represent "one of the greatest military victories in modern history, perhaps in all history." However, it remains to be seen whether Israel can translate the military victories into permanent strategic and diplomatic gains. On the potential for a US strike in Iran, Oren stresses the importance of missile defense for the US Navy, as Iran's greatest achievement would be the sinking of an American aircraft carrier. He predicts that after Trump issued clear threats and put his reputation on the line, he is not going to back down and leave a legacy that could be compared to that of Barack Obama. Looking at the future of the US-Israeli relationship, Oren notes that the US is going through domestic processes that Israel has no control over, but often use Israel to score political points. Given those trends, Israel should diversify its diplomatic relationships, but there will never be a replacement for American support. Oren firmly supports Israel moving off of US military aid, and transforming its relationship with Washington into one of equal partners working together to develop capabilities.

Power habitually lies in public to make a particularly egregious point: We can lie in public, and you can't stop us. “We didn't murder that protester, she was a domestic terrorist determined to kill police;” “I strangled that Black man to death because I feared for my life.” The debate over whether the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank is indeed a genocide is a fraudulent diversion—the genocide was pre-announced by government leaders in October, 2023: “We will starve them; we will deny them medicines and fuels; we will make Gaza uninhabitable.” The so-called ceasefire is also a ruse, a phony attempt to change the international narrative while continuing to murder, drive out, and erase the population. We're joined in conversation with Nell and Leta Hirschmann-Levy, two brave and intrepid sisters from New York City whose opposition to the US/Israeli genocide in Palestine has led them to picket lines, boycotts, rallies, organizing campaigns, and to Palestine itself.

This week on the SUNDAY WIRE: host Patrick Henningsen is joined by teammates Bryan 'Hesher' McClain, Basil Valentine and Adam ' Ruckus' Clark, to discuss the world's biggest stories – including the biggest, most damaging new revelations from the Epstein Files, and Trump caught trying to cover-up the scandal, all of which is now eroding what little credibility the US and Israel had internationally. All this coupled with Trump's desperation to start a war with Iran that threatens to engulf the region and trigger WWIII. It's a worrying time. All this and more.

This week, Clearing the FOG speaks with Ajamu Baraka, a political analyst, activist, and internationally-recognized human rights defender. Baraka discusses the recent protests in Iran, including the media misinformation campaign, manipulation of Iran's currency to lower its value, and the US-Israeli attempt to create chaos and install the son of the brutal Shah, who was ousted in 1979. He also talks about the campaign to move the World Cup out of the US and the recent violent occupation of cities by ICE in the context of the US government building the apparatus to instill terror and suppress all dissent. Baraka explains the need to educate ourselves, organize, and take action on many fronts to stop the US-led rise of global fascism. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.
