Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 17, 2025 “… what would be the American goal in any negotiations with Iran? Should it be the complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear program or merely an effort to slow down or impose restrictions on the regime’s ability to refine uranium?” It’s too soon to declare the Trump administration’s policy […]

Kamran Bokhari Geopolitical Futures, Apr. 17, 2025 “Once Khamenei is out of the picture, the military – itself divided between the ideological Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the more professional Artesh (regular armed forces) – will likely replace the clergy as the regime’s core.” The Trump administration’s diplomacy with Iran is about much more than […]
Laurence Norman WSJ, Apr. 19, 2025 “The critical gap in IAEA knowledge of Iran’s nuclear program is Iran’s inventory of centrifuges, machines that spin uranium into higher levels of enrichment.” President Trump is calling for Iran to “go fast” to secure a new nuclear accord. But for any deal to work, Tehran will have to account […]

Michael Doran WSJ, Apr. 11, 2025 “If Syria became like Jordan—a buffer between hostile powers—everyone would win.” Ending Iran’s nuclear-weapons program may be President Trump’s top goal for stabilizing the Middle East, but his biggest test lies in Syria. Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former rebel who overthrew the Assad regime four months ago, presides over a weak […]
Dr. Michael Milshtein Ynet News, Apr. 13, 2025 “I have great relations with Turkey. Erdogan likes me, and I like him. If you have a problem with him, I’ll fix it.” The Israeli government continues to avoid clearly articulating its strategy in the Syrian arena. In the absence of a formal policy, observers are left […]
Jerome Drevon Foreign Affairs, Apr. 11, 2025 “,,, it does not look as if Syria is about to once again become a one-state autocracy, even if that were an outcome that Shara secretly wanted. What is emerging under Shara is a government that has elements of both authoritarian rule and more federated, decentralized organization.” In […]
Loveday Morris and Souad Mekhennet Washington Post, Apr. 12, 2025 “There is a huge stockpile in Syria that Hezbollah is trying to move out of Syria. They know where those are, and they are working with Syrian networks to get them out.” From the front seat of a black GMC truck, Maher Ziwani, the Syrian […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Apr. 14, 2025 ‘If you throw a lot of shit out there, there’s some point at which “I’m just raising questions” is not a valid thing.” You could almost feel Douglas Murray’s vexation. There he was, invited on by the weed-puffing, free-thinking king of the podcast bros, Joe Rogan, to debate prick-kicking comic […]
Ralph Leonard Unherd, Apr. 11, 2025 “The natural response is to suggest, as Murray did yesterday, that Rogan should feature more “establishment” voices to provide “balance”. But if he did this, ironically, it would likely taint his credibility among a large part of his audience, given that his appeal stems from his anti-establishment stance and […]
Lee Smith Tablet, Apr. 11, 2025 “Even the role Smith and Rogan play is an establishment category—a comic who is not just a jester, but a gimlet-eyed and idiosyncratic observer of current events celebrated for relating sardonically to his young and disaffected audience. It’s Jon Stewart, but for right-wing audiences.” Joe Rogan’s podcast yesterday featuring […]
Park MacDougald Tablet, Mar. 10, 2025 “The attacks and their aftermath exposed that Jews cannot silence their opponents but in many cases are reduced to asking for pity, which only invites more sadism.” It gives us no pleasure to report this, but we figured you should hear it from us. Jeffrey Epstein—the late New York financier—was […]

Dylan Shore Times of Israel, Apr. 15, 2025 “Why are we so ignorant to think that this does not include us?” For thousands of years, the Jewish people gathered around their Seder tables and recounted the story of Exodus. The story of the liberation of the Israelites from slavery to their promised land of Israel. […]
