Iran is not — and never was — an Islamic country by origin.
It is Persia, one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, founded by King Cyrus the Great, a ruler revered not only in Persian history but also in Jewish and biblical history for freeing the Jews from Babylonian captivity.
This episode breaks down:
Why Persians are NOT Arabs
Why Islam came thousands of years after Persia already existed
How the 1979 Iranian Revolution was NOT an organic uprising
The Cold War reality: Communism + Islamists vs the West
How the Islamic Republic was imposed, not chosen
Why millions of Persians today want freedom from an oppressive regime
The historical alliance between Persia and the Jewish people
Why conflating Iran with Islam is historically false and dangerous
This is not propaganda.
This is history, geopolitics, and truth that most people were never taught.
If you want to understand Iran, the Middle East, and why the Persian people are rising up, you need to understand this first.#Iran

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptors than in 2025 while Russia is firing twice as many ballistic missiles per month—and Ukraine currently has only 1% of the missile stock request he says could help protect the country through winter.

Meanwhile, Ukraine strikes a critical Russian radar system in Sevastopol, pressure builds around occupied Crimea, Moscow escalates threats toward Japan over the Kuril Islands, and a prominent Russian military spokesman openly describes plans to push Russia’s “buffer zone” deeper into Ukrainian territory.

We break down the ballistic missile numbers, Ukraine’s air-defense crisis, why Kramatorsk and Slovyansk remain critical, and why the warning signs point toward an extraordinarily difficult fall and winter far beyond Ukraine.

I also give an update on our Ukraine Support Bridge campaigns supporting Sava, a Ukrainian refugee student, and Project Constantine.

Things are going to get creative

Ukraine is pretty much out of missile interceptors, so now what?

We know they’re trying to get more and there’s of course the domestic program that hopefully will be ready soon but the other option is to target the archer rather than shooting down the arrows. And that’s something NATO is helping with.

Today we’re joined by Colonel Valerii Vyshnivskyi of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center to discuss a new challenge: persistent airfield denial. This is part of a series of innovation challenges put on by NATO where companies from alliance countries submit their solutions and compete for the potential to receive support to develop their products.

The U.S. Navy has finished clearing Iran's minefield out of the Strait of Hormuz — more than 100 objects located on the seabed over four months, and the international shipping lanes are open. But the multinational center that merchant captains actually steer by still rates the waterway SEVERE, and mine danger areas are still active. Here's what actually happened, and why the real version hits harder than the headline.
We break down the three-layer mine countermeasures architecture that did it: the MH-60S Seahawk carrying the AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System, the 38-foot MCM Unmanned Surface Vehicle towing the AN/AQS-20C sonar and the Unmanned Influence Sweep System, and the undersea drones working the bottom. Plus why America retired the Avenger-class minesweepers and the MH-53E Sea Dragon before it had to do the hardest mine job on earth — and what autonomous VTOL aircraft mean for the last crewed link in the chain.

So we’ve got some updates on why the CIA director secretly flew to Moscow on Tuesday including an assessment that a ‘critical shortage’ of interceptors in Europe, may be leading Putin to consider the dangerous gamble of attacking NATO directly.

بازندگان و برندگان انتصابات جدید در جمهوری اسلامی چه کسانی‌اند و آرایش جدید قدرت چه چیزی به ما می‌گوید؟ انتصاب محسن رضایی به دبیری شورای عالی امنیت ملی و حسین طائب به فرماندهی بسیج، دو پیام مهم دارد؛ یکی رو به بیرون، درباره مذاکره، جنگ و رویارویی با آمریکا، و دیگری رو به داخل، درباره مهم‌ترین نگرانی حکومت: خطر خیزش دوباره مردم ایران. در حالی که هنوز درباره زنده یا مرده بودن مجتبی خامنه‌ای و میزان سلامت او تردید وجود دارد، سپردن بسیج به حسین طائب، یکی از نزدیک‌ترین افراد به مجتبی، یک پیام روشن دارد: نگرانی اصلی حکومت، خیابان است.

The mood at the front is optimistic, but still a lot to do

Today we're joined by Dara Massicot. Dara is a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace where her work focuses on defense and security issues and she’s just back from a research trip to the front lines in Ukraine.

We get into the varying targets for Ukrainian strikes, how they coordinate efforts at that depth, major issues facing the two countries for the rest of the year and more.
