About this episode
The episode discusses President Trump's economic strategies against Iran and their implications for global politics.
Senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—explain how President Trump’s bold economic chokehold on Iran could be more devastating than missiles and how shifting alliances in the Middle East might quietly reshape the global order. The hosts break down the illusion of ceasefires and reveal why Lebanon, Hezbollah and even Europe are all pieces in a much bigger game. By the end, you won’t just understand what’s happening, you’ll see why everything you thought about “war being over” might be completely wrong.
