Navid Zarrinnal, host of The Colony Archive podcast, joins us from Tehran to describe the devastating toll of what he calls the “unprovoked” bombing campaign by the U.S. and Israel, reporting over 1,000 deaths and the targeting of schools and hospitals. Zarrinnal discusses the regional fallout of the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, the failure of "strategic patience," and how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is being used to levy a global economic cost against the escalation. #breakthroughnews

From Beirut, Rania Khalek reports on the chaos as Israel orders hundreds of thousands from the southern suburbs to evacuate, saying, "Israel is trying to empty out huge portions of Lebanon like never before." As Israel intensifies its war on Iran, Lebanon faces escalating bombings, mass displacement, and the looming threat of invasion. “Israel is applying its ‘Gaza Doctrine’ to Iran, South Lebanon – they are totally unleashed with no red lines,” says Rania. #breakthroughnews

As Israel expands its war on Iran and U.S. officials float the possibility of American boots on the ground, what is really happening behind the headlines? Iran expert at Johns Hopkins Vali Nasr joins Rania Khalek to explain: Why Iran prepared for decapitation strikes Why “regime collapse” is far from guaranteed How global oil supplies “have become a battlefield” Why Trump may already be looking for an off-ramp The growing divide between U.S. and Israeli war goals The chances this conflict could spiral into something far bigger Nasr argues that Iran’s strategy isn’t to win quickly. It’s to make the war long, costly, and politically dangerous for Washington. If this is the “last battle” for Iran’s leadership, what does that mean for the region — and for the global economy?

As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues, Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada, joins Rania Khalek to break down why this current operation is the culmination of a decades-long campaign by the U.S. and its vassal states to destroy Iran — precisely because it has leveraged its sovereignty to support liberation movements in Palestine and Lebanon. As the consequences of "picking sides" with Israel and Donald Trump come home to roost for the Gulf monarchies, and as U.S. citizens’ appetite for another war wanes, Abunimah explains the mounting costs of a prolonged conflict for Israel and the U.S. He also discusses the deeper geopolitical implications: why Iran may not be the ultimate target, and what this war means for the emerging axis that includes Russia and China.
