The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim
Richard has just returned from Iran, where he witnessed the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He shares what he saw inside the country, answers your questions about reporting from Tehran as tensions flared once again, and explains what the funeral revealed about the mood inside Iran after months of conflict. Richard is also joined by Professor Robert Pape, one of the world's leading experts on war and military strategy. They look at why the Iranian regime still appears so resilient when the country has suffered such significant military blows. And is the US and Israel's strategy achieving its goals - or risking something much bigger? Together they unpack Pape's theory of the "escalation trap", explore where Iran still holds leverage, and ask whether this conflict is any closer to ending, or about to accelerate.

Communism, cigars and Cadillac cars. A beautiful island that has been the thorn in the side of the U.S government for 67 years. But what is it about this small island of approximately 10 million people and 90 miles off the coast of Florida that makes president after president so frustrated? Yalda has just been in Havana, interviewing the president who rarely gives interviews to foreign press. He told her he was ready to give his blood to defend Cuba, if Trump decides on military action. But will he? And what about the people of Cuba? What is life actually like under a blockade, with blackouts and a growing humanitarian crisis. This week, Yalda is joined by Dr Christopher Sabatini, director of the Latin America programme at Chatham House. He has spent a lot of time in Cuba and talks to Yalda about the state of the nation at this pivotal time.

America has lost the war with Iran and suffered their biggest strategic defeat in history. That is according to Robert Kagan, a prominent foreign policy analyst and historian. He joins Richard on the podcast in this extra episode to talk about America’s position in the world following the start of the war in the Gulf. Why did Trump get involved? What next for Israel? Can the Gulf States still count on America to defend them? The two get into all of these questions and debate whether this actually was America’s biggest global loss.

Do all roads in the Middle East lead to Lebanon? Journalist and historian Kim Ghattas thinks so. She argues that it is often the fate of small nations to be playgrounds rather than players. Iran, America and Israel all have interest in the country. It is also now central to the Memorandum of Understanding that exists between Iran and America. After months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and a bombing campaign by the Netanyahu government that has left over 4,000 people dead, a shaky ceasefire is now in place. So what does the future hold for this country? Richard and Kim discuss all of this on this week’s episode of The World podcast.
