| 3/20/26 | Iran Plays the Long Game Against Trump — And It’s Working | 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. I... | 47m 31s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | Israel Invades Lebanon Again: The Greater Israel Project That Keeps Failing | Israel has expanded its war across the region, bombing Lebanon and Iran while preparing a potential ground invasion into southern Lebanon. Israeli officials claim the goal is simply to create a “buffer zone” for security. But many Israeli politicians and commentators are openly discussing something much bigger: territorial expansion to the Litani River and beyond. This is not about security, it’s part of much longer historical Greater Israel project On this live episode of Dispatches, Rani... | 1h 09m 57s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | War on Iran Could Crash the Global Economy: Yanis Varoufakis Explains | The war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran could send shockwaves through the global economy. Energy markets, shipping routes, fertilizer supply, and cloud infrastructure are all at risk. Even a short disruption could drive inflation, food shortages, and economic instability worldwide. Rania Khalek speaks with economist Yanis Varoufakis, former Finance Minister of Greece, about why this conflict could become one of the most economically disruptive wars in decades. | 51m 43s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | Military Analysis of Iran’s Strategy + U.S. Soldiers’ Growing Opposition to the War | As war between Iran, Israel, and the United States escalates, what’s actually happening on the battlefield, and how is the conflict being viewed inside the U.S. military itself? On this live episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by two guests to break down both the military realities of the war and the growing opposition to it inside the United States. Jon Elmer, contributing editor at The Electronic Intifada, joins the show to analyze the military dynamics of the US-Israeli war on Ir... | 1h 23m 47s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | Iran Prepared for a Long War. Vali Nasr on Trump’s Miscalculation | 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 strikesWhy “regime collapse” is far from guaranteedHow global oil supplies “have become a battlefield” Why Trump may already be looking for an off-rampThe growing divide between U.S. and Israeli war goalsThe chances this conflict co... | 42m 42s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | Huckabee Admits Insanity of Christian Zionism on Tucker: Israel Can Take ‘All’ of Middle East | Mike Huckabee’s reference to borders stretching “from the Euphrates to the Nile” has sparked a diplomatic firestorm across the Middle East. Even governments that normalized relations with Israel — including the UAE — publicly condemned the remarks. Why did this rhetoric hit such a nerve? And is it really new, or just unusually blunt? At the same time, tensions between Israel and Saudi Arabia are rising, fractures between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are deepening, and the risk of a U.S.–Iran war lo... | 34m 38s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | Rubio vs AOC: Different Strategies, Same Empire [Preview] | At the Munich Security Conference, Marco Rubio said the quiet part out loud. No more “rules-based order.” No more liberal pretense. Just open coercion. After Gaza — after a genocide livestreamed for the world — U.S. empire isn’t even pretending anymore. In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by Dylan Saba — attorney with Palestine Legal and co-host of Turbulence — to unpack what this moment represents: • Gaza as the capstone of the War on Terror • The return of gunboat ... | 49m 21s | ||||||
| 2/5/26 | On-the-Ground in Iran as US Prepares New Bombing Campaign | The United States is mobilizing for a new war on Iran — repositioning military forces, floating assassination threats, and insisting on negotiations at the same time. As this military buildup intensifies, Western media is reviving a familiar propaganda narrative: that Iran is collapsing, its government has lost control, and foreign intervention might actually help. To cut through the noise, Rania Khalek is joined by Navid Zarrinnal, an Iranian-American academic and host of The Colony Archive,... | 53m 10s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | Minneapolis Erupts, Protests Spread Nationwide After ICE Killing of Alex Pretti | Join Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra for a special live show as Minneapolis erupts after Border Patrol agents killed nurse and legal observer Alex Pretti, just hours after a historic general strike shook the state. Zoe will report from Minneapolis as protests surge nationwide and fury at ICE and federal occupation explodes. With special guests, Rania and Zoe will discuss the Democrats’ weak response, the connections between imperial violence from Gaza to Minnesota, and the rising calls to defu... | 1h 23m 56s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | Iran, Venezuela, Palestine: The Collapse of International Law | Craig Mokhiber | Rania Khalek is joined by former UN human rights official Craig Mokhiber, whose recent Mondoweiss article, "Ushering in the age of impunity: Venezuela, Palestine, and the end of international law," unpacks how recent U.S. aggression from Venezuela to Gaza signals a dangerous unraveling of the post-World War II legal order. We’ll discuss: • What the U.S. attack on Venezuela reveals about the limits of global legal restraints. • How the violence in Palestine fits into a broader patt... | 1h 04m 09s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | ‘There’s Been No Betrayal Here’ | Exclusive w/ Venezuela’s Ex-Foreign Minister | The U.S. military raid on Venezuela on January 3 shocked the world. On Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by Jorge Arreaza, Venezuela’s former foreign minister, to explain what actually happened and to respond directly to U.S. media narratives about “betrayal,” regime change, and control. | 52m 16s | ||||||
