  • Failed Intelligence
    Oct 11 2024

    It's hard to believe, but it's been one year since the October 7th attacks that ignited serious and extreme chaos in Israel and Gaza. This week, we dive into those attacks, Israel’s intelligence failures, and the aftermath, with Saman shedding light on how history is obsessed with repeating itself. We also explore the role of geopolitical strategies, military budgets, and intelligence agencies in shaping these events. All that and we tackle our first listener-submitted question!

  • Hezbollah Goozbye
    Oct 4 2024

    This week, we're back to break down the latest developments in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and examine the broader global implications. We discuss the death of Hassan Nasrallah—how he was taken out and what it means for Hezbollah’s leadership. Who will step in, and how will it shape their strategy moving forward? We also analyze Iran’s role in the escalation and Israel’s aggressive strike against the Houthis. Additionally, we explore the complex interplay between Israeli and American interests, and what the U.S. might do next—voluntarily or not. Plus, Saman takes a look into our crystal ball to predict Israel’s next moves and what this conflict could mean for U.S. policy, especially with Trump—known for his isolationist stance—looming in the background.

  • Hello Hezbollah!
    Sep 27 2024

    Welcome to The Foreign Report! In this episode, we’re talking all things Hezbollah and asking lots of questions like… who are they? How do they have so much equipment? When did they get started? Why do they use pagers? What is a pager? We also break down the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah, and Saman helps us understand what an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah could look like and who else that would involve. You may need to grab a bottle of Tums for this!
