Josephs Brotherhood: A New New Middle East

Following the ideological realignment of the Middle East after the fall of Syria and collapse of Assad's regime earlier this week, the hosts explore the resurgence and reconfiguration of Islamist political identity—from the Muslim Brotherhood’s grassroots project (1:30) and Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman aspirations (7:50), to Iran’s revolutionary fatigue (21:10). Through recent geopolitical shifts, Hani and Shawn trace the political evolution of The Muslim Brotherhood, the cost of propping up Assad for Iran (10:07), and the global energy chessboard (26:27) shaping a renewed world order. The duo examines how state and non-state actors—Sunni and Shia, alike—are realigning and possibly converging in a post-Assad era (41:10).
