The US-Israeli war on Iran is transforming the geopolitical order, and could even unleash a global economic crisis. The conflict has caused the largest oil shock in history, disrupting markets and driving up fuel and food prices. To better understand the implications for the world, Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton interviewed economist Michael Hudson, who discussed how Iran is challenging US dollar dominance and undermining Washington’s control over the global oil industry, which has been a key pillar of the USA's foreign policy.

Rapper and activist Vic Mensa joins hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear to discuss his journey to Cuba with the Nuestra América convoy — a mission to defy the U.S. blockade and deliver critical aid to the island. As the U.S.-engineered humanitarian crisis deepens, Donald Trump is tightening the decades-long blockade and imposing a fuel embargo that is driving blackouts, crippling hospitals, and choking off vital energy supplies. Mensa recalls what he saw in Cuba, calling U.S. policy "crushing … a crime against humanity." #breakthroughnews

It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team. We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports. In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.

The United States and Israel are pushing the region toward a dangerous escalation with Iran, threatening strikes on energy infrastructure and even raising the possibility of a ground invasion. But Iran isn’t backing down. As the war expands across the region and the global economy, the risk of a wider conflict is growing by the day. So what is the real strategy here? Is this brinkmanship, or the early stages of a war that could spiral far beyond anyone’s control? Have the U.S. and Israel fundamentally misjudged Iran? Rania Khalek is joined by Mohammad Marandi, professor at the University of Tehran, to break it all down. 👉 Subscribe and support independent media: https://www.patreon.com/BreakthroughNews #breakthroughnews
