The Quad

Trump says the ceasefire is dead, but why are negotiations with Iran still happening? The Quad panel breaks down whether the Islamic Republic has finally pushed President Trump past the point of diplomacy and what an alleged assassination plot against Trump could mean for the next phase of the conflict. You'll learn why the hosts believe Iran is running out of options, how Western radicalization is becoming part of the story, what Hamas' latest "peace" proposal in Gaza really means and why the coming months could determine the future of both the Middle East and the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Is the anti-Israel alliance finally starting to crack? This week's episode of "The Quad" explores three major developments that could reshape the Middle East: Lebanon's unprecedented move toward distancing itself from Hezbollah, Iran's increasingly aggressive actions in the Strait of Hormuz and the growing anti-Hamas protests erupting inside Gaza. You'll learn why these stories may be more connected than they appear, what they reveal about shifting regional alliances and whether these dramatic changes signal the beginning of lasting peace or the opening chapter of an even more dangerous conflict.

Is President Trump securing a historic victory over Iran, or handing Tehran exactly what it wants? The Quad panel wrestles with the growing confusion surrounding a reported U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, as both Washington and Tehran claim they’ve emerged victorious. Viewers will learn why the deal has sparked intense debate among some of Israel’s most outspoken commentators and what the agreement could mean for Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Israel’s security. The conversation also explores the widening gap between rhetoric and reality in the Middle East, the ongoing attacks from Lebanon, concerns over America’s commitment to its allies and the larger question of whether peace is being achieved, or merely postponed.
