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

In week 4 of the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression on Iran, the global economy has been pushed to the brink. Iran’s disruption of the Strait of Hormuz shows just how key it is to global energy markets, supply chains, and food systems, putting millions at risk. So what happens when the U.S. no longer has a monopoly on economic coercion? Has Trump overplayed his hand? Are we witnessing the limits of American power and the beginning of a more chaotic global order? To break it all down, Rania Khalek is joined by Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik, professor emeritus at Jawaharlal Nehru University and co-author of Capital and Imperialism: Theory, History, and the Present. 👉 This is just part of the episode.

Hassan Ahmadian, associate professor of West Asian studies at the University of Tehran, joins us from Doha to break down how the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has already failed at regime change, and why targeting energy infrastructure is now a desperate act of "collective punishment" that is only pushing Iranians closer to their government. #breakthroughnews

Support our work: http://novara.media/support The most powerful CEO in history is barely a person anymore. But it’s not just his X-addled brain that has transformed him. Elon Musk has deeply integrated himself into the ‘cyborg collective’ – a world of electrons, brain implants, fantastical promises, bots, and memes. Henry Ford gave his name to Fordism. According to historian Quinn Slobodian and technologist Ben Tarnoff, we’re entering a globe-spanning era of capitalism we might soon call ‘Muskism’. They’re the authors of *Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.* It’s a whistle-stop tour of the world that made Musk, from the fortress futurism of Apartheid South Africa to the financial fabulations of the Bay Area and the cyborg world that Musk is now making for all of us. They told Richard Hames about Musk’s massive power grab in space, his plan for brain implants, his obsession with prepping for the end of the world, and how Musk has come to define an entirely new way of making technology. Do Your Own Research is a new video podcast from Novara Media about the systems that make the modern world possible.

Is the Iran war about to trigger a global economic collapse? Ashok Kumar, associate professor of political economy at Birkbeck, University of London, explains how the expansion of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is sending shockwaves through global markets and threatening to destabilize the world economy. He warns that disruptions to Gulf oil and gas flows could drive inflation, deepen crises across the Global South, and insists that the idea the United States can be "inoculated or insulated" from the economic fallout is "pure fantasy." #breakthroughnews

Three weeks into the war on Iran, the conflict is expanding more than ever. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, energy infrastructure is under attack, and U.S. bases are increasingly vulnerable. Israel and Washington are escalating. According to Middle East expert Vali Nasr, this is actually all part of Iran's strategy. Iran isn’t trying to win quickly. To “win” is to survive — and for that it wants to make the war longer, more expensive, and politically unsustainable for the United States. In this conversation with Rania Khalek, Nasr explains: -Why Trump gets weaker the longer the war extends -How energy and Hormuz became the central battlefield -What Washington fundamentally miscalculated -Why regime change is unlikely -The role of Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi factions -And whether any real off-ramp still exists -If this war continues, the consequences won’t just be regional, they will be global. #breakthroughnews

Aaron Bastani sat down with Novara Media’s own Ash Sarkar, to celebrate the paperback release of her bestselling book, Minority Rule. 'Minority rule' is the term Ash used to describe the irrational fear that minorities are trying to overturn and oppress majority populations. She revealed how minority elites rule majorities by creating the culture wars that have taken over our politics, stoking fear and panic in our media landscape. Together before a live audience at EartH Hackney, Ash and Aaron dug into the question of what has changed since the book was published. What can be learned from Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York? Does the left hate Britain? What do we need to do, in order to establish a ‘majority rule’? And is there such a thing as a middle-class dog? 00:00 Intro 01:47 Who Did Ash Write ‘Minority Rule’ For? 06:39 On Being Deliberately Misrepresented by the Right 09:39 Melanie Phillips’ Transphobia 11:31 Do Right-Wingers Believe in Anything Other Than Advancing Their Own Status? 12:02 Politicians Are Pundits Now 14:36 The Left Is Winning Culturally, the Right Is Winning Everywhere Else 19:12 Larry Ellison, TikTok, Bari Weiss & The Free Press 22:50 Infinite Jest & Social Connection 25:29 Is All Social Media Bad? 27:52 How to Build Power 30:15 Dogs & Class 34:34 Does the Left Hate Britain? 40:05 On National Identity 42:28 The Crisis of Masculinity 46:37 Delete Your Dating App 51:19 What Happened to Your Party? 54:34 Your Party’s Social Networks Can Survive 55:54 Why Did Your Party Fail? 57:49 Building Solidarity Across Identity Groups 1:01:49 Who Is National Identity For? 1:06:32 What Can We Do About Stopping Reform?

Cliff Albright, co-founder and executive director of Black Voters Matter, discusses the Trump-backed SAVE Act currently being debated by Congress, warning it is “nothing but voter suppression” that could disenfranchise millions. He explains how the legislation disproportionately targets Black, brown, and marginalized communities while creating chaos and fear to undermine democratic participation, cautioning, “One way of canceling an election is simply by canceling everybody who’s got the ability to vote, and that’s what’s being set up with this.” #breakthroughnews
