How the Iran Conflict is Becoming a Global Crisis

Listen to The World podcast featuring Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim on your preferred platform.

In this episode, Yalda Hakim is in Doha, Qatar, while Richard Engel is in Tel Aviv, examining the evolving dynamics of the Iran conflict and its broader implications. The conversation also explores which nations might emerge as key beneficiaries of the ongoing tensions and whether internal consensus within the Trump administration supports the idea that the war is nearing its end.

“Won” is how Donald Trump describes the conflict, but the question remains: Will Iran’s new leader reshape the situation or merely maintain the status quo?

Richard Engel provides context on Mojtaba Khamenei’s role as Iran’s new leader and the possible consequences of his rise for regional stability. The pair also analyzes Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani’s push for a diplomatic resolution, assessing how Gulf states might be affected by shifting alliances and strategies.

Viewers’ questions highlight surprising perspectives on the conflict’s global reach, with responses shedding light on unexpected winners and losers. To watch the full episode, click here.
