In this episode, we dive deep into the pivotal 12-day military conflict between Iran and Israel that erupted in June 2025 a dramatic escalation from their long-standing shadow war. We unpack the roots of the confrontation, including Israel’s strategic pivot toward preemptive action and its systematic targeting of Iranian proxies, which led to the launch of Operation Rising Lion against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

We examine Iran’s powerful retaliation, the ensuing U.S. intervention, and the fragile ceasefire that followed a ceasefire marked by minimalist terms and profound mistrust. The episode also explores the far-reaching consequences of the war, from the damage to Iran’s nuclear ambitions to the collapse of its Axis of Resistance network and the reshaped military postures of both nations.

Finally, we analyze the internal political hardening in both Tehran and Tel Aviv, the muted roles of global powers like China and Russia, and why experts believe this brief war could be the precursor to a much larger conflict on the horizon.

In this episode, we unpack the major global developments from June 20–27, 2025, as the world enters a new phase of transactional foreign policy, spearheaded by the United States. We break down the “Twelve-Day War” between Israel and Iran, including the rare direct military involvement of the U.S. and the ceasefire it brokered — a move that reshapes the balance of power in the Middle East.

We also examine a contentious peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, brokered by the U.S. and widely viewed as a strategic effort to secure vital mineral resources in the face of growing Chinese influence.

Shifting our focus to global markets and media, we discuss China’s rapid ascent in the electric vehicle industry and the disintegration of the global information landscape. As trust in legacy media erodes, more audiences are turning to influencer-led video platforms for news and interpretation.

This episode explores a world in flux, where peace, power, and perception are being redefined.

In this episode, we dive into the growing ideological rift within the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, brought to the forefront by the June 2025 military conflict between Iran and Israel. The war has sharpened divisions between two competing visions of “America First”: one, an interventionist stance represented by Senator Ted Cruz, calls for strong U.S. support for Israel and a hard line against Iran; the other, led by populist commentator Tucker Carlson, urges restraint and non-involvement, warning against new “forever wars.”

We explore how this internal clash reflects deeper tensions over America’s global role and what it means for the future of Republican foreign policy. The episode also examines the strategic ambiguity of the conflict and contrasts the current globalist-leaning strain of “America First” with its historically isolationist foundations, revealing a pivotal struggle over the movement’s identity.
