Is the U.S. government preparing to go to war with Iran? Leading up to talks set to happen towards the end of the week in Geneva, the Trump administration has also threatened Iran with war, saying the country has “10 to 15 days” as of February 20th to agree to a deal - putting Trump's one-sided deadline somewhere in the first week of March.In apparent preparation for military strikes, massive amounts of military equipment have been sent to the region, including dispatching the USS Gerald R Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Arabian Sea near the Persian Gulf. At least 120 aircraft, including F-35 stealth strike fighters and F/A 18-E Super Hornets, have been sent to the region with the Ford, in addition to E-3 Sentry AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) used for command & control operations as well as surveillance. The Ford will be joining the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is already off the coast of Oman.As we come up on the 23rd anniversary of the 2003 US war on Iraq as well as the 15th anniversary of the US-led NATO invasion of Libya, we'll look back at what led up to them, the lessons learned from the anti-war movement of the period, and how we can stop the next war:Stand for self-determination and against imperialist aggressionThe primary responsibility of those in the US is to oppose their government's actionsDon't fall into the trap of tailing the Democrats, the graveyard of social movements.Support the show

The Supreme Court just struck down Donald Trump's tariffs. But instead of taking the win, Trump doubled down. In today's livestream, Matt Robison breaks down what may be the most revealing moment of Trump's second term so far — and why it goes far beyond trade policy.The Court ruled that Trump's sweeping tariffs were unconstitutional under the emergency powers he claimed. That decision gave him a political off-ramp: blame the Court, let inflation cool, stabilize markets, and boost economic growth ahead of the midterms.Instead, within minutes, Trump announced new tariffs — escalating economic chaos all over again.Why?We examine:

//The Wire//2300Z February 17, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: MASS SHOOTING REPORTED IN RHODE ISLAND. IRANIAN FORCES CONTINUE NAVAL DRILLS AS AMERICAN FORCES BEGIN MASS MOVEMENT INTO MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Caribbean: American forces continue airstrikes on narco vessels, with three fastboats sunk overnight in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Two strikes were carried out in the Pacific, and the third in the Caribbean. A total of 11x EKIA were reported as a result of the strikes.Middle East: This morning Iranian forces continued naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz. These drills, dubbed the "Smart Control of the Strait of Hormuz" exercise by the IRGC-N, has involved various show-of-force targeting drills involving various naval platforms. These exercises involved the brief closure of a section of the Strait for a few hours today, as live-fire drills were conducted throughout the day.Europe: This morning, the mass movement of US military aircraft was observed throughout the continent as American forces begin the surge of forces into the Middle East. Overnight, multiple flights of F-16's, F-22's, F-15's and F-35's were all observed maneuvering toward the region, totaling several dozen aircraft. Command and Control aircraft were observed staging as well, alongside several Airborne Early Warning platforms.-HomeFront-Rhode Island: Yesterday afternoon a mass shooting was reported at a skating rink in Pawtucket as one assailant began firing in the stands at a high school hockey game. The shooter has been identified as Robert Dorgan, who was targeting his ex-wife and children during the attack. Concerning casualties, two fatalities have been reported, along with multiple wounded.Analyst Comment: This appears to be a domestic incident, in which a transgender individual murdered his family in the middle of a crowded venue. Based on the shooter's social media pages, this individual was very obviously mentally ill and had made threats openly for some time, including one post which directly threatened violence one day before the shooting.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, the mass mobilization of equipment to CENTCOM looks like the Real McCoy, once again. As of this afternoon, this is the largest migration of military aircraft into CENTCOM in many years, and differs from the last time the US struck Iranian facilities in that fighter aircraft are moving into theater much moreso than the previous one-and-done, single-sortie mission that was Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER. Of course, moving aircraft is comparatively cheap when it comes to the manipulation that these actions provide, which in this case is very obviously intended to pressure the Iranians into accepting whatever deal is put before them. This afternoon Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi departed Geneva, with the past two weeks of talks more or less being a stalemate. As must always be noted, the forces that are being staged right now can always turn around and go home without a shot being fired. However, even taking this into account (and adding in the wider geopolitical context), it's very likely that cratering Iranian facilities is on the menu once more.Probably the best form of warning for the Iranians is the minor detail that the main aircraft carrier in the region (the USS *ABRAHAM LINCOLN*) has not transited the Strait of Hormuz. This foreboding detail is likely due to long-standing doctrine; any serious actions taken in Iran will require more maneuverability (and range) than the Gulf can provide. As a result, a common rule of thumb has been that the United States holding position in the Arabian Sea (without transiting the Strait) is an indicator that the US is serious. If the US just wanted to posture, the Navy would have sailed through the Strait just to flex on the Iranians brown-water navy, and since a CSG

Today’s global round-up spans rising geopolitical tension, a moment of reflection and a bizarre crime story. The focus begins in the Arabian Sea, where the confirmed proximity of US Navy warships to Iran has sharpened attention on regional security.

In recent weeks, the United States has built up its military presence in the Middle East while conducting negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group arrived in the Arabian Sea on January 26, bringing an additional 5,700 U.S. troops to the region. On Wednesday, the Pentagon reportedly told a second aircraft carrier group to prepare for deployment, while President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss diplomatic and potential military strategy. Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian officials met for indirect talks in Oman on Friday, February 6, for the first negotiations between the countries since the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat merilis rekaman aktivitas kapal induk USS Abraham Lincoln di Laut Arab, termasuk insiden penembakan jatuh pesawat tak berawak (drone) Iran yang mendekati kapal tersebut. Insiden ini terjadi di tengah ketegangan yang meningkat antara Washington dan Teheran, dengan pesawat drone jenis Shahed-139 ditembak jatuh oleh jet tempur F-35C. Kejadian ini terjadi sekitar 500 mil dari pantai selatan Iran. Sementara itu, Presiden Iran menyatakan telah menginstruksikan Menteri Luar Negeri untuk melanjutkan negosiasi dengan AS, dengan pembicaraan yang dijadwalkan di Turki.

Im Iran hat das Regime die Massenproteste Anfang Januar mit einer unfassbarer Gewalt und Brutalität niedergeschlagen. Laut Time-Magazine könnten bis zu 30.000 Menschen getötet worden sein, das Magazin beruft sich dabei auf zwei ranghohe Beamte des iranischen Gesundheitsministeriums. Das Menschenrechtsnetzwerk HRANA meldet inzwischen, dass es Bestätigungen für fast 7.000 Tote hat, mehr als 10.000 Fälle werden weiter untersucht. Die Proteste sind abgebrochen, die Menschen im Iran verzweifelt. Viele hoffen, dass Hilfe von außen kommt. US-Präsident Donald Trump hat dem iranischen Regime zuletzt immer wieder mit einem militärischen Angriff gedroht, den Demonstrierenden hatte er auf seiner Plattform Truth Social mitgeteilt, Hilfe sei unterwegs. Seit Anfang Januar hat das US-Militär seine Präsenz in der Region deutlich ausgebaut, etwa mit dem Flugzeugträger „USS Abraham Lincoln“ und dessen Begleitschiffen. Jetzt aber soll es Gespräche zwischen den USA und Iran geben, bei denen es anscheinend vor allem um das iranische Atomprogramm gehen soll. Wie geht es weiter im Iran? Darum geht es in der neuen Folge des Bundestalks, des politischen Podcasts der taz. Wir fragen: Was würde ein militärisches Eingreifen der USA bedeuten? Wie angeschlagen ist das iranische Regime und gibt es interne Risse? Wie kann sich die Opposition überhaupt organisieren? Was will Trump, welche Interessen haben die Staaten in der Region? Ist Europa ein Player oder nur Zuschauer? Und warum sind in Deutschland so wenig Menschen auf der Straße, um die Iranerinnen und Iraner in ihrem Kampf zu unterstützen? Darüber diskutieren Gilda Sahebi, deutsch-iranische Journalistin und taz-Autorin, Nahost-Redakteurin Lisa Schneider und Leon Holly, der in der Auslandsredaktion für die USA zuständig ist. Moderiert wird die Folge von Sabine am Orde, der innenpolitischen Korrespondentin der taz.

America's navy shot down an Iranian drone that it said “aggressively approached” the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft-carrier in the Arabian Sea, with “unclear intent”. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a charged news cycle, beginning with the U.S. military shooting down an Iranian Shahed‑139 drone that “aggressively” approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea — an incident that heightened already‑tense U.S.–Iran relations and occurred just hours before Iranian forces harassed a U.S.–flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. In entertainment news, renewed industry chatter suggests that Wendy Williams may return to television in 2026 following a major legal victory that could soon release her from her mental‑health conservatorship, prompting serious behind‑the‑scenes talks with her former production partner, Debmar‑Mercury. The show also explores the emotional revelations of Reshona Landfair — formerly the Jane Doe at the center of R. Kelly’s infamous underage tape — who has stepped into the public eye to reclaim her identity and recount decades of silence, manipulation, and trauma as detailed in her new memoir Who’s Watching Shorty?. Closing out the lineup, the team breaks down President Trump’s latest Oval Office controversy after he publicly scolded CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins for “not smiling” while she questioned him about Epstein survivors — an exchange that drew swift defense from journalists and renewed scrutiny of his treatment of the press.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. An Israel Defense Forces reservist officer was seriously wounded by gunfire from Palestinian operatives in the northern Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday. The IDF responded with a series of strikes on Gaza that Palestinian media said killed at least 20 people. Horovitz weighs in on the move to Phase 2 of the Trump-brokered ceasefire -- without the demilitarization of Hamas. We also learn of the Palestinian Authority's current involvement in the Rafah Border Crossing and a kerfuffle over a logo that may indicate that ties between the PA and the council of Gazans set to rule the Strip may be tighter than anticipated. A US Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea on Tuesday, in an incident that, Horovitz suggests, shows Iran's confidence level ahead of nuclear talks set for Friday. We hear about Israel's four conditions for a "good" deal with Iran as US President Donald Trump appears to prefer dimplomacy -- for now. And finally, Israel's dairy farmers are protesting today in Jerusalem as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's "reforms" seek to disband the centralized coordination mechanism that has characterized the dairy industry since the state’s founding. Hear why more dairy imports may not be the right answer. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

It's Wednesday, February 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Colombian president denies divinity of Jesus Christ Christians across Colombia recoiled at recent remarks made by President Gustavo Petro. The nation's leader denied that Jesus is Christ, describing Him instead as a “man of light, of truth and a revolutionary.” This public attack on Biblical truth comes as Christians continue to face persecution and physical attacks in the country.  Criminal organizations have killed at least 10 pastors in Colombia over the last year. Sadly, the government provides little protection for church leaders. Psalm 2:11-12 warns rulers, “Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” U.S. forces shoot down Iranian drone over Arabian Sea A U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone as it approached a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea on February 3rd, the U.S. Central Command has announced, reports The Epoch Times. The incident comes at a moment of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. President Donald Trump recently ordered naval forces to the Middle East and has threatened military strikes on Iran if it does not agree to new limits on its nuclear development. The U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, said the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was operating about 500 miles from Iran's southern coast on Tuesday, when U.S. forces spotted what they identified as an Iranian Shahed-139 drone. When the Iranian drone “unnecessarily maneuvered toward” the aircraft carrier, the U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces issued de-escalatory instructions, but the drone continued on its path toward the aircraft carrier. That's when an F-35C Lighting II stealth fighter jet, assigned to the aircraft carrier, intervened and shot down the drone. Thankfully, no American service members were harmed during the incident, and no U.S. equipment was damaged. Conservative candidate wins presidency of Costa Rica Meanwhile in Central America, conservative candidate Laura Fernández Delgado won Costa Rica's presidential election on Sunday. She gave thanks to God following the election victory.  Life News reports that Fernández emphasized moral values and the protection of unborn babies during her campaign. She stated, “Defending the lives of Costa Ricans who have not yet been born is an obligation of the State. Abortion is nothing more than murder and, therefore, penalties must be toughened.” Christian groups looking to overturn homosexual marriage In the United States, a coalition of conservative groups launched a campaign last month to overturn Obergefell.  The infamous Supreme Court ruling from 2015 legalized faux homosexual marriage.  The campaign, known as the Greater Than movement, calls for protecting children from being put in the middle of such unbiblical relations.  Listen to comments from Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  MOHLER: “Marriage is actually the most basic institution of human civilization. You redefine marriage, you have just destroyed the house. You can put together a new house and claim it's the same. Children will know the difference. It harms children in virtually every way imaginable.” De-transitioner awarded $2 million The Epoch Times reports a New York jury found a psychologist and plastic surgeon liable for malpractice in a transgender case last week.  The doctors supported and performed a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl who claimed to be a boy. Fox Varian is 22 now and no longer pretends to be a boy. She was awarded two million dollars in the case. Varian is the first de-transitioner to win such a malpractice lawsuit.  Nearly 30 more de-transitioner lawsuits are in process across America. Trump stands with pharmacies for not carrying Abortion Kill Pills The Trump administration is protecting pharmacies from having to carry abortion kill pills. Under the Biden administration, the Department of Health and Human Services required pharmacies serving Medicare or Medicaid patients to carry abortion drugs. The department rescinded that mandate last week. This is part of the government's policy to “end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.”  Red states are growing and blue states are shrinking The U.S. Census Bureau released its latest Population and Housing Unit Estimates last week. Red states, like Texas, are growing, while blue states, like California, are shrinking.  Based on this, the American Redistricting Project released its 2030 Apportionment Forecast of how these demographic trends will affect Congress. Texas and Florida could gain a combined eight congressional seats. Meanwhile, California and New York could lose six seats. 83% of U.S. adults believe in God; 25% attend weekly religious service Pew Research released new analysis of Americans' religious beliefs and practices. The analysis shared the data as if the U.S. population were scaled down to 100 people.  In that case, 83 people would believe in God or a universal spirit. Fifty-two would believe in Heaven and Hell. Forty-four would pray daily. Thirty-eight would say religion is very important in their lives. And only 25 would say they attend religious services at least weekly.  Romans 11:5 reminds us, “Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” U.S. life expectancy rose to 79 And finally, U.S. life expectancy rose to a record 79 years in 2024. This according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Life expectancy at birth for women rose to 81, and for men it rose to 76. Meanwhile, the age-adjusted death rate decreased nearly four percent from 2023. The increased life expectancy comes after improvements following the COVID-19 pandemic as well as declines in overdose deaths.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

The Education Department's workers union is pushing back after more than 100 technology-related employees lost their collective bargaining protections last month under an executive order citing national security and cybersecurity risks tied to their roles. About 120 employees in the agency's Office of the Chief Information Officer and Federal Student Aid's Office of the Chief Technology Officer were told late last month they no longer had union protections due to the nature of their positions, according to AFGE Local 252, which represents Education Department employees. The notification came nearly nine months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending collective bargaining rights for labor unions at various federal agencies. The order included some agencies in their entirety, along with some positions across the government that have a determined “primary function” involving intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work. While the CTO and OCIO employees work with technology that could have cybersecurity ties, AFGE Local 252 argues this does not involve intelligence work that would warrant such a ban. “The Department of Education does not engage in any intelligence, counter-intelligence, investigative, or national security work,” AFGE 252 President Rachel Gittleman told FedScoop in an interview, suggesting the move is “just a way to strip labor rights of our federal workforce.” The FSA CTO office specifically does “work on technology” and products, but not information resources management, as the order states, Gittleman explained.

An American stealth fighter jet shot down an Iranian one-way attack drone in the Arabian Sea Tuesday after it “aggressively approached” a U.S. aircraft carrier “with unclear intent,” according to a statement from U.S. Central Command. Just hours after the shootdown, two Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ships accompanied by another unmanned aerial system — this one an Iranian Mohajer drone — approached a U.S.-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to board and seize the vessel, the statement from Centcom spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said. The dual incidents could spell increased tensions between Washington and Tehran after President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran over its deadly suppression of protests last month and amid broader nuclear negotiations that could begin this week. The jet, an F-35C Lightning II, launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was transiting the Arabian Sea roughly 500 miles from Iran's southern coast, Centcom said. The Centcom statement did not identify the unit the jet belongs to, but Marine Fighter Attack Squadron-314, the Black Knights, were photographed by the military operating off the Lincoln several days ago. The long-range Iranian drone — a Shahed-139 UAS known for its use in the Russia-Ukraine war and being reverse-engineered into a U.S. military one-way attack drone — “continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters,” the command said. The F-35C shot it down “in self-defense” and to protect the Lincoln and her crew, according to the statement, which said that no service members were harmed and no American equipment was damaged.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The partial US government shutdown ended late Tuesday after President Trump signed into law a funding deal he negotiated with Senate Democrats, overcoming opposition from both ends of the political spectrum amid a standoff over his administration’s immigration crackdown. Trump applauded the funding package as “a great victory for the American people” and stressed that the legislation continues to fund deportation flights, which have provoked backlash from Democrats. Still, a more limited funding lapse looms within days since the Department of Homeland Security is only funded through Feb. 13 while Trump negotiates with Democrats over their demands for new restraints on immigration enforcement agents. The rest of the government is funded through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.2) Iran has asked the US to move diplomatic talks originally planned for Turkey to Oman and to limit the agenda to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, according to people familiar with the matter. President Trump reiterated that the US and Iran are maintaining talks, even after an earlier skirmish in the Arabian Sea spooked oil markets amid heightened tensions between the two countries. “We are negotiating with them right now” and “they’d like to do something,” Trump told reporters at the White House Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday, a US F-35C warplane shot down a drone in self-defense as the unmanned aircraft “aggressively approached” the USS Abraham Lincoln with “unclear intent,” US Central Command said in a statement. CentCom said no American service members were harmed and no US equipment was damaged.3) Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will appear before a House committee investigating their ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Feb. 26 and 27, the panel confirmed Tuesday. A full House vote had been planned this week to hold the Clintons in criminal contempt if they continued to defy subpoenas in its inquiry into Epstein and his activities. The Clintons “have agreed to appear for transcribed, filmed depositions to face questioning as part of the investigation related to Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes,” the committee said in a statement posted on its website.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Les tensions militaires entre les États-Unis et l'Iran se sont accentuées à la suite de plusieurs incidents survenus en mer d'Arabie et dans le détroit d'Ormuz. L'armée américaine a annoncé avoir abattu un drone iranien qui s'était approché du porte-avions USS Abraham Lincoln. Selon un responsable américain cité par Reuters, il s'agissait d'un drone Shahed-139 qui volait en direction du groupe aéronaval avant d'être détruit par un chasseur F-35. Washington a qualifié l'approche du drone de hostile, y voyant un nouvel indicateur de l'escalade militaire en cours dans la région.

L'apertura di giornata con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti.Continuano ad essere pochissime le notizie che arrivano dall'Iran mentre fuori dal paese tutto sembra indicare che un intervento degli Stati Uniti possa essere imminente. Si ritiene infatti, che almeno 10 navi da guerra statunitensi si trovino ora in Medio Oriente, tra cui la portaerei USS Abraham Lincoln. Ne parliamo con Shady Alizadeh, avvocata e attivista del movimento Donna, vita, libertà.

USA:s president Donald Trump hotar Iran och har skickat ett hangarfartyg till regionen. Hangarfartyget, atomdrivna USS Abraham Lincoln, har gått in i "spökläge” och uppges vara redo att slå till. Samtidigt fortsätter protesterna inne i landet och risken för en ny konflikt ökar. Vad händer om USA gör verklighet av sina hot och utför en storskalig attack mot Iran? Och skulle Ryssland ta emot ayatollah Ali Khamenei om han väljer att fly dit? Gäst: Johan Mathias Sommarström, utrikeskommentator på Aftonbladet. Programledare och producent: Love Isakson Svensén.

Get your Temple Mount Patches https://israelguys.link/temple-patch-86ew4ch9p Check out our upcoming Harvest Trips https://israelguys.link/israel-trip-86ewc1v67 Don't forget to join Jeremy and Ari at The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ For the first time in 25 years, hundreds of Jews prayed at Joseph's Tomb in Shechem, marking a historic shift in Judea and Samaria. Long restricted to nighttime visits under heavy IDF escort, worshippers were allowed to visit the heritage site during the daytime, a move Israeli leaders and rabbis called a long-overdue rectification and a step toward restoring a full Jewish presence at the site. This development comes just weeks after prayer restrictions were also eased on the Temple Mount. As these changes unfold on the ground, regional tensions are rising. President Trump announced a "massive armada" led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving toward Iran, while antisemitic violence again surfaced in New York and a disconnect from the Bible was evidenced by Tucker Carlson's remarks in Saudi Arabia.   

 Napięcie na linii Stany Zjednoczone–Iran poanownie rośnie. Jak relacjonował na antenie Radia Wnet Mikołaj Murkociński, temat Iranu wraca do światowych mediów po krótkiej przerwie, gdy na dalszy plan zeszły inne globalne spory.Punktem zapalnym były gwałtowne protesty, które wybuchły na przełomie grudnia i stycznia. Zaczęły się na wielkim bazarze w Teheranie, początkowo jako reakcja na dramatyczną sytuację gospodarczą kraju, ale bardzo szybko nabrały charakteru politycznego i objęły kolejne miasta.Manifestacje dość szybko nabrały charakteru politycznego i rozlały się na cały kraj. Widzieliśmy obrazki z różnych miast irańskich, gdzie manifestujący wzywali do obalenia reżimu ajatollahów– mówił Murkociński.W odpowiedzi na represje wobec protestujących głos zabrał Donald Trump, który kilkukrotnie groził Teheranowi możliwością interwencji wojskowej. Przez moment wydawało się, że napięcie opada, jednak – jak podkreślał dziennikarz Radia Wnet – ostatnie dni przyniosły wyraźną zmianę.Wydawało się, że temat troszkę ucichł, ale nie. W ostatnich dniach ponownie widzimy wzrost napięć– relacjonował.Kluczowym sygnałem była zapowiedź wzmocnienia amerykańskiej obecności militarnej w regionie Zatoki Perskiej. Stany Zjednoczone mają wysłać tam armadę z lotniskowcem USS Abraham Lincoln, co natychmiast uruchomiło pytania o możliwy scenariusz siłowy.No i pytanie, czy wobec tego Stany Zjednoczone zdecydują się na uderzenie w Iran– zaznaczał Murkociński.Jednocześnie Donald Trump twierdzi, że władze w Teheranie są gotowe do rozmów z Waszyngtonem. To rodzi wątpliwość, czy demonstracja siły ma prowadzić do wojny, czy raczej służy budowaniu presji na irański reżim.Pytanie, czy rzeczywiście Stany Zjednoczone chcą uderzać, czy raczej mamy do czynienia z budowaniem presji na ajatollahów– mówił dziennikarz.W tle całej eskalacji pozostaje program nuklearny Iranu. Murkociński przypomniał, że został on poważnie nadwyrężony w czerwcu ubiegłego roku, gdy podczas tzw. dwunastodniowej wojny między Izraelem a Iranem amerykańskie bombowce B-2 uderzyły w infrastrukturę jądrową na terenie kraju.Na razie brak jednoznacznych odpowiedzi co do dalszego rozwoju wydarzeń. Wiadomo natomiast, że Donald Trump planuje spotkania z przedstawicielami wojskowymi Izraela i Arabia Saudyjskaej. Jak zauważa Murkociński, zwłaszcza Rijad może naciskać na Waszyngton, by unikać destabilizacji regionu./fa

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:A supercarrier doesn't just vanish for drama; it goes silent to change the fight. We follow the USS Abraham Lincoln as it cuts its transponder, enters emission control, and sprints from the South China Sea toward Iran, transforming from a visible symbol into a hunting platform built for electronic dominance. Along the way, we unpack how stealth aircraft, Growler jamming, and cyber effects turn a carrier strike group into a mobile switch that can dim an adversary's defenses from hundreds of miles out.We draw a straight line from the “electronic curtain” used during the Caracas raid to the calculus now facing Tehran. Iran's anti-access area denial—coastal missiles, layered radars, and long-range shooters—depends on a clean targeting chain. Ghost mode breaks that chain by forcing radars to emit and reveal themselves, giving the Navy the first clear shot in the electromagnetic spectrum. We also revisit the Red Sea's grinding lessons: how static deterrence, bright signatures, and crowded lanes almost broke crews and triggered tragedies, and why the new doctrine is to stop being a target and start being a specter.Now the stakes rise as bombers land in theater, regional fighters spool up, and air defenses shift into position. The Strait of Hormuz narrows the margin for error, where invisibility protects against missiles but complicates navigation among tankers. We share what a potential day-one strike would look like, what Iran's proxies could attempt at sea, and how a critical 72-hour window might define the next phase of global security. If the carrier's lights come back on near a friendly port, deterrence may have worked; if not, the sky could tell the story first.If this deep dive into strategy, electronic warfare, and carrier operations got you thinking, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

For review:1. The body of the final hostage held in Gaza was identified and brought back to Israel on Monday, 843 days after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.Master Sergeant Ran Gvili, 24, a police officer killed fighting the Hamas invaders, had been the last of 251 people kidnapped that day to remain captive, following the return of the rest of the hostages, living and dead, under the current ceasefire. 2. President Trump told Axios in an interview on Monday that the situation with Iran is "in flux" because he sent a "big armada" to the region but thinks Tehran genuinely wants to cut a deal.Sources with knowledge of the situation say Trump hasn't made a final decision. He will likely hold more consultations this week and be presented with additional military options.Those options will be enhanced by the arrival of an aircraft carrier strike group to the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln entered CENTCOM's area of responsibility on Monday.3. U.S. officials leading the talks are convinced that Russian negotiators have taken a more pragmatic tone behind closed doors than Moscow's public hardline rhetoric suggests. The next round of talks is expected on Feb. 1.The most difficult issues — Russian demands for Ukrainian withdrawal from parts of Donbas and control of the nuclear power plant— are set to dominate the agenda.4.

No Irão, o regime do ayatollah Ali Khamenei tentou calar a maior vaga de protestos dos últimos anos com uma repressão que teria feito milhares de mortos. As manifestações começaram a 28 de Dezembro na capital e alastraram a todo o país. Os Estados Unidos intensificaram a presença militar no Médio Oriente com a mobilização do porta-aviões USS Abraham Lincoln, depois de Donald Trump ter afirmado que deverá receber “em breve” um relatório sobre a situação no Irão para decidir se avança com uma intervenção militar. Será a pressão interna e externa suficiente para uma eventual mudança de regime? E quem poderia assegurar uma transição? Para conversarmos sobre este tema convidámos Maria Ferreira, professora de Relações Internacionais, que nos fala sobre “a pior repressão de sempre” no Irão, sobre a “diplomacia coerciva” dos Estados Unidos e sobre dificuldade de antever, para já, uma mudança de regime. RFI: Perante a mobilização de um porta-aviões para o Médio Oriente, até que ponto um ataque dos Estados Unidos é uma possibilidade? Maria Ferreira, Professora de Relações Internacionais do Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas da Universidade de Lisboa: “É preciso ter consciência de que o Irão é a segunda maior nação do Oriente Médio e é a 18.ª maior nação do mundo. Vivem no Irão mais de 92 milhões de habitantes, portanto, é um país com uma matriz civilizacional fortíssima e que não se compara a outros Estados, nomeadamente a Venezuela, onde os Estados Unidos têm vindo a desenvolver acções exteriores. É claro que o Irão, neste momento, está a passar pela pior repressão de sempre que visa as manifestações pró-democracia, mas mesmo a resposta do regime a estas manifestações demonstra a dificuldade que seria, mesmo para uma potência militar como os Estados Unidos, intervir num palco de conflito que é extremamente complexo.” Então, não há essa possibilidade de um ataque iminente dos Estados Unidos? “De um ataque clássico dos Estados Unidos não. Seria muito difícil aos Estados Unidos conseguirem controlar um território com uma complexidade doméstica como se afigura no Irão. Segundo a Amnistia Internacional, no Irão, existem três braços armados que suportam fortemente o regime e que estão sob a alçada do líder supremo Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.” Nesse caso, para que serve esta mobilização de navios de guerra americanos, nomeadamente, do porta-aviões, para o Médio Oriente? “Repare que Donald Trump está a replicar os mesmos passos da Venezuela no Irão porque antes da extracção do Presidente Maduro, os Estados Unidos enviaram para a Venezuela e para a região também um conjunto de forças militares com o objectivo de escalarem a tensão contra o país, aplicarem uma espécie de diplomacia coerciva para atingirem os seus objectivos, nomeadamente no que toca à questão do petróleo. No Irão, o que está a acontecer é também a utilização de diplomacia coerciva para obrigar o Irão a uma eventual mudança de regime. Repare-se que essa mudança de regime não aconteceu na Venezuela. Essa mudança de regime no Irão está a ser associada às revoltas populares nas ruas e é preciso dizer que a repressão das revoltas já terá provocado entre 17.000 a 25.000 mortos. Simplesmente, tal como na Venezuela não houve mudança de regime, também no Irão essa mudança de regime afigura-se muito difícil pelas circunstâncias internas, políticas e militares, que conseguem sustentar o regime de Ali Khamenei.” Que resultados é que pode ter essa “diplomacia coerciva”? Na segunda-feira houve um responsável americano que disse que a porta está aberta se o Irão quiser entrar em contacto com Washington. Há uma porta aberta a uma eventual mudança de regime? “O ayatollah Khamenei é uma figura odiada por grande parte dos iranianos. A economia iraniana está numa situação insustentável e há uma grande repressão interna. Aquilo que os especialistas no Irão discutem é quais são internamente as hipóteses para eventualmente substituir o ayatollah Khamenei. Mas essas hipóteses são muito ténues e eu penso que foi isto que levou - a par do reconhecimento de que uma intervenção militar no Irão seria absolutamente complexa por causa dos três braços armados que sustentam o regime - foi essa consciência que levou a que Donald Trump, há duas semanas, com a desculpa de que o Irão já não estava a executar protestantes, tivesse claramente recuado na sua retórica agressiva, militarista, coerciva contra o Irão. É que, segundo vários autores que são especialistas na questão do Irão, não existe grande vontade de reforma do regime e os moderados são vistos como figuras marginais dentro do próprio regime e nem sequer têm o peso para vir a substituir o líder supremo e, eventualmente, poder conduzir a uma reforma do regime iraniano. Portanto, não se afigura como muito claro quem é que poderia preencher o vazio de poder que iria instalar-se depois da eventual morte ou extracção ou retirada do líder supremo. O que se sabe, com certeza, é que a Guarda Revolucionária iria sempre tentar preencher esse vazio de poder através da imposição de um autoritarismo militarista. No Irão existem os que mandam e aqueles que são mandados e, portanto, é muito difícil pensar numa eventual mudança do regime porque mesmo as figuras mais moderadas como Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf , o antigo presidente Hassan Rohani, mesmo o actual Presidente Massoud Pezechkian que é também visto como um moderado, mesmo esses reformistas são considerados como irrelevantes, ou seja, não existem. Na prática, na sociedade iraniana, são uma espécie de cosmética, como diz Ali Ansari, que é professor na Universidade St Andrews, eles estão completamente marginalizados. Ou seja, no Irão não há um movimento de reforma política que possa, no fundo, apoiar o movimento na rua.” Os protestos não se podem tornar numa revolução? Não há nenhum líder da oposição que possa unir os iranianos e derrubar o regime dos ayatollahs? “Bem, neste momento, nós sabemos que o antigo filho do Xá, Reza Pahlavi, que está no exílio, se está a movimentar no sentido de poder ser uma eventual alternativa à mudança de regime no Irão, mas aquilo que se questiona em relação à Reza Pahlavi é que, apesar de ele argumentar que tem uma missão inacabada que o seu pai deixou quando saiu do Irão, que o seu objectivo não é de todo restaurar o passado autoritário associado ao Xá e que o seu objectivo é assegurar uma futura democracia no Irão, apesar disso, há grandes dúvidas em relação à legitimidade de uma figura cuja única base de autoridade é ser filho do Xá deposto. Portanto, também não me parece que possa vir a ser uma figura consensual para poder alicerçar a mudança do regime até porque há um legado muito divisivo do próprio Xá no Irão. Ou seja, o Xá não é consensual no Irão. Todo o reinado, o legado de autoritarismo associado ao Xá ainda tem uma memória muito forte no Irão e, apesar de Reza Pahlavi ter apelado a uma transição pacífica até um referendo nacional para decidir o futuro sistema político do Irão, continua a ser um símbolo de um passado autoritário. Se os iranianos não querem Ali Khamenei, dificilmente vão querer voltar a um passado de uma monarquia imperial associada ao Xá. Portanto, mesmo com esta retórica de modernização, de democratização, de solidificação das alianças com o Ocidente, a verdade é que há ainda uma memória muito marcada da censura, da polícia secreta, da supressão da dissidência, dos abusos aos direitos humanos ligados ao período do Xá e esse legado divisivo projecta-se em Reza Pahlavi e prejudica a sua capacidade de poder vir a liderar um período de transição no Irão.” Como disse, há milhares de pessoas que morreram nas manifestações, não se sabe bem quantas porque há diferentes números a circularem e o país está sem internet há 18 dias. Estes são os maiores protestos desde 2022. Como é que vê os próximos tempos no Irão? “É muito interessante perceber que realmente estes não são os únicos protestos que marcaram a história recente do Irão. Já em 2009, em 2022, a Revolução Verde... Tivemos outras vagas de protestos contra o Irão. O que especifica historicamente esta vaga é a onda de repressão que lhe está associada e que, de alguma forma, mostra a crescente fragilização do regime que terá já matado entre 17.000 a 25.000 pessoas. É claro que nós não sabemos exactamente o que é que se está a passar porque há um bloqueio cibernético. O que é interessante de ver é que as pessoas no Irão estão a usar formas alternativas para ter acesso à internet, nomeadamente o SpaceX, o Starlink, redes virtuais de internet privadas e estão a tentar suplantar aquilo que é uma marca fundamental do regime iraniano que é uma infraestrutura muito forte de vigilância cibernética e de vigilância nomeadamente através de câmaras CCTV. E, portanto, vai ser interessante ver como é que a população vai, nos próximos dias e nos próximos meses, reagir e continuar a ter um ímpeto reformista no país, utilizando as chamadas tecnologias da libertação, que são os mecanismos digitais, para tentar afirmar a sua vontade. Mas, como há um vazio ao nível das figuras reformistas que poderiam liderar o regime e perante o recuo dos próprios Estados Unidos, cuja acção de diplomacia coerciva estava claramente a empoderar estes movimentos civis de resistência, não me parece que nos próximos meses possamos ver alguma mudança essencial no Irão, tal como não vimos uma grande mudança na Venezuela. Os regimes persistem apesar da diplomacia coerciva de Donald Trump. Uma mudança no Irão estará associada eventualmente à morte do líder supremo e a quem, após essa morte, eventualmente o poderá substituir, e com a cumplicidade dos braços armados que existem no país, nomeadamente da Guarda Revolucionária, poder fazer algumas reformas. Pensar que os Estados Unidos vão, através de meios coercivos, provocar uma mudança de regime num país em que não existe a própria noção de reformismo político parece-me uma ideia sem grande sustentação empírica.”

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. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following Iran's foreign minister's direct threat against the US, Fabian reports on the buildup of potential US offensive and defensive firepower in the region, including an aircraft carrier and fighter jet squadrons. As the IDF continues its nearly daily strikes against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, Fabian discusses Israel's tacit agreement with the US that allows it to act against anything it considers an immediate threat, and the Lebanese government's ongoing efforts to disarm Hezbollah. The IDF reported a 27% rise in settler violence in the West Bank in 2025, says Fabian, who breaks down elements of the report, including the rise in the severity of the settler attacks alongside the decrease in Palestinian terrorism, attributed to the army's sustained offensive activity against terror cells.

Listen to the article with analysis from the author:  A call from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convinced President Donald Trump not to order an attack on Iran last week. Netanyahu was concerned that the attack would not be decisive, and Israel would be unable to repel an Iranian counterattack without more American military support. On Wednesday, American diplomats and military officials in the Middle East were convinced they would receive orders from President Trump to strike Iran. Expectations for a US attack on Iran were built over the previous two weeks as Trump threatened the Islamic Republic for cracking down on protesters. Members of his cabinet, including Vice President JD Vance, were pushing Trump to authorize strikes. Vance argued Trump had drawn a red line that Iran had crossed by killing protesters, and the President must enforce it. However, the President received a call from Netanyahu, who warned that the planned strikes would not be decisive and that the US lacked the military equipment in the Middle East to repel an Iranian counterattack. Axios reporter Barak Ravid spoke with several US officials who said Netanyahu's warning and the potential for Iranian retaliation were significant factors in Trump's decision not to order an attack. Since the US and Israeli was on Iran in June, two aircraft carrier strike groups and an advanced air defense system have been deployed out of the Middle East. Late last week, Trump dispatched the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to the region. An Iranian official said on Sunday that at least 5,000 people had been killed over three weeks of demonstrations. The protests often turned into riots, and over 500 members of the Iranian security forces had also been killed. While the demonstrations in Iran have mostly ceased, US officials say the potential for an attack on the Islamic Republic remains a possibility. First Published at Antiwar.com

The most meaningful connections in military service often come from those who guide us through our most challenging moments. Ron Dean represents this kind of transformative mentorship—a Vietnam-era Navy veteran whose expertise in aircraft electrical systems made him legendary among maintainers across four decades of service.Born to a World War II B-25 radio gunner, Ron joined the Navy in 1965 under the draft, deliberately choosing a different path than his Air Force father. As an Aviation Electrician's Mate, he quickly distinguished himself through exceptional troubleshooting abilities and a practical approach to maintenance that prioritized aircraft readiness over procedural orthodoxy. "I enjoyed fixing aircraft. I enjoyed making the maintenance chiefs happy," Ron explains, describing how he would take technicians directly to the flight deck to repair planes before returning to consult the manuals—reversing the traditional approach and keeping crucial combat aircraft flying during wartime operations.Ron's impact extended far beyond technical innovation. During a particularly challenging 2003 deployment to Iraq, he specifically requested Theresa Carpenter—then a young aviation electrician struggling with workplace tensions—as his troubleshooting partner. This professional pairing evolved into a decades-long friendship that survived career transitions, including Theresa's commissioning as an officer and Ron's move to civilian technical representative roles with Lockheed. Their paths continued to cross at significant life moments, from commissioning ceremonies to retirement celebrations, demonstrating how military connections often become life's most enduring relationships.From Vietnam-era deployments to supporting the historic moment when President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, Ron's career spans significant chapters in American military history. Now enjoying retirement in Nevada, he remains engaged through political activism, community service, and even competitive bowling—continuing his lifelong pattern of service in new forms. Listen to this heartfelt conversation between mentor and mentee as they reflect on shared experiences, technical challenges overcome, and the lasting impact of showing up for others when it matters most.Support the showVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

The conversation begins with their first meeting at the Finney Forum and moves into Vince's background—from his Navy service and intelligence work to the injury that ended his SEAL training. He reflects on being aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during 9/11 and President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. After leaving the military, Vince faced chronic health issues and overcame a dependency on prescription painkillers, eventually finding purpose in outdoor recreation and earning a related degree. The discussion shifts to Vince's campaign, focusing on his critiques of California's handling of homelessness, crime, drug addiction, and identity politics. He shares crime statistics he personally compiled, arguing they challenge mainstream narratives and are largely ignored by media. Vince discusses his stance on gun rights, his interest in Monero, and his belief that while his campaign is a longshot, it serves to raise awareness. The episode wraps with thoughts on alternative systems, Vince's passion for data-driven truth, and a brief story about meeting David Goggins post-SEAL training. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!
