| 6/21/26 | ![]() Will the Israeli War in Lebanon Sink the Iran Deal? Untangling the Acrimony Engulfing the Middle East, ft. Dr. James Gelvin | Today on the Long History Short Podcast, join my discussion with Dr. James Gelvin of UCLA as we discuss the history of Lebanon from the Ottoman Empire to the present day, why Israel and Lebanon have such a tempestuous relationship, and what it all means for the Memorandum of Understanding, and President Trump's attempts to bring the Iran War to a close. For further reading, here's a deep-dive on Lebanese history: https://www.historytoday.com/miscellanies/100-years-greater-lebanon Here's background on Hezbollah: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-hezbollah A hard-hitting critique of the Memorandum of Understanding: https://www.persuasion.community/p/the-art-of-the-non-deal | 42m 57s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 | ![]() Will Lebanon Crumble? The Past and Future of "The Pearl of the Middle East," ft. Dr. Betty Anderson | While President Trump tries to broker an end to the Iran war, a major stumbling block has been Israel's war in Lebanon. The paramilitary group Hezbollah has repeatedly traded blows with Israel, and Iran has insisted that a lasting peace settlement needs to bring that conflict to a close. But more is at stake than the future of the Iran War: population displacements and other spillovers from the conflict have jeopardized the future of Lebanon's existence, with some declaring it a failed state. To understand this conflict and where it may be headed, I sat down with Dr. Betty Anderson of Boston University, professor of Middle Eastern history and expert on Lebanon. | 39m 55s | ||||||
