Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer in Economics at Lancaster University’s Management School in the UK. According to Foucart, France’s energy and economic crises expose a deeper collision between economic constraints, political accountability and an approaching presidential election. He interprets Emmanuel Macron’s rare Élysée meeting with party leaders over soaring energy prices as both an exercise in presidential legacy-building and an attempt to force prospective successors to confront high energy costs, rising borrowing costs, limited fiscal room and the radioactive pension reform.
The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran confirmed that civilians in the country suffered serious human rights violations and “crimes against humanity committed by their government,” while finding “reasonable grounds” to believe that the United States committed “war crimes” in the context of its ongoing conflict with the Islamic Republic.Original Article
In a report released Monday, the mission concluded that killings by security forces “occurred on a massive scale in all provinces” of Iran, during the Government’s “violent crackdown” on mass protests that stretched from last year into this year.
The mission also reported that at least 221 children – some as young as two years old – were killed and that security forces attacked health care facilities, “beating and arresting wounded protesters and arresting some health care workers, discouraging victims from seeking life-saving care.”
JERUSALEM, Israel – President Trump is weighing his next move in the war with Iran, while the Tehran regime is rebuilding a nuclear site previously targeted by Israel. Iran’s president, meanwhile, is preparing to come to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Trump is considering whether to launch another major military campaign against Iran. He told Axios, “I have a big decision coming up: do I want to go in and annihilate them, or do I not?” He added, “Anything could happen with me.” The president is set to meet next Tuesday in New York with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman. He revealed that he wants their views before deciding how Washington will proceed.
President Trump says he’s at a crossroads with Iran: He may launch more massive attacks, as he tries to finally end with conflict. In a bid to fight high prices, the Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate earlier this week. The rising cost of gas, food, energy, and other necessities is straining household budgets. 40 years ago, Leslie Frazier suffered a career-ending injury during the Superbowl. he is now an assistant head coach with the Seattle Seahawks.

BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump says Iran wants a deal “BADLY” — but is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps finally running out of options?
Tonight on The Goldie Show, I’m breaking down the latest developments involving President Trump, Iran, the IRGC, the United States, and the escalating pressure on the Islamic Republic.
The central question tonight: Is the IRGC finally approaching the point where it has no choice but to back down?
The Trump administration has spent months combining military, economic and diplomatic pressure against Tehran. The White House says the United States has established control over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while denying Iran oil revenue, and the administration’s Operation Economic Outcast is designed to further isolate the Islamic Republic financially and cut revenue streams supporting the IRGC.
Trump has also repeatedly maintained that he is willing to make a deal while warning that failure to reach one could bring additional consequences. The administration has framed its strategy as giving Tehran a choice between reaching an acceptable agreement and facing continued American pressure.
So what does all of this mean?
Is Tehran genuinely looking for an exit?
Does Trump believe the Islamic Republic is finally negotiating from a position of weakness?
What happens to the IRGC if negotiations move forward?
And most importantly, what does this mean for the people of Iran, the future of the Islamic Republic, Israel, the United States and the wider Middle East?
I’ll break down what we know, what the Trump administration is saying, what is verified, and what is still developing — and then give you my geopolitical analysis of where this confrontation could go next.
We’ll also discuss the enormous price already paid during this conflict. A newly released Pentagon inspector general assessment documented significant costs and damage to U.S. military resources and installations during the Iran war, underscoring just how consequential this confrontation has become for Washington and the entire region.
This is about much more than another negotiation.
It could be about the future of the IRGC, the survival of the Islamic Republic, and the balance of power in the Middle East.
Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the latest on the U.S.-Iran conflict on ‘Special Report.’
Yemen’s Houthis launched a fresh barrage of missile and drone attacks on Saudi military targets on Monday, as Iran denied any involvement in the country’s revived civil war. Speaking with FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen, Dr H. A. Hellyer, Senior Fellow in Geopolitics, International Security, and Middle East Studies at the Royal United Services Institute, says that Iran and its non-state proxies “remain to be one of the more destabilising forces in the region alongside the Israeli project of regional paramountcy”.
Iran mistakenly thinks the November midterms are President Trump’s weakness. But Trump plans to use this thinking and the midterms against the Iranian regime. If Trump can end the conflict by his midterm deadline and truly accomplish his objectives, there’s a very good chance it could boost Republicans’ outcome in the November elections. “If you look at the entire situation, the midterms are actually in the interest of Donald Trump and the Iranian dissidents. Donald Trump then has a deadline to which he can bring this thing to a close. He’s got seven weeks, and I think that he will be encouraging internal revolt.”
Iran seizes assets of 240 dissidents and journalists as protest arrests top 6,000
The judiciary froze 182 bank accounts and confiscated property belonging to journalists, activists and public figures accused of acting in favour of “hostile governments”. Tehran has executed at least 532 people since January, including 29 linked to the protests.

JERUSALEM, Israel – The confrontation between the United States and Iran escalated again, this time on the waters of the Persian Gulf. U.S. CENTCOM announced on Tuesday that it destroyed five Iranian tankers after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard attacked an American warship. In Israel, a diplomatic clash between Jerusalem and London is growing more serious.
The latest escalation in the Strait of Hormuz comes as the Trump administration boosts both military and economic pressure on the Tehran regime.
The U.S. strategy includes a naval blockade, helping oil shipments move safely through the Strait of Hormuz, and finding alternative routes for Gulf oil.
The goal is to reduce Iran’s leverage over the world oil supply. The big question is whether Iran will back down or escalate even further.
An ‘All-Star’ panel joins ‘Special Report’ to discuss the U.S. economic pressure campaign against Iran and CENTCOM strikes near Kharg Island and Jask.

ERUSALEM, Israel – Iran is trying to outmaneuver the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. cautions that it may not be possible to reach a nuclear agreement with Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli security forces train for potential future October 7th-style attacks from multiple fronts.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced plans to declare a maritime “exclusion zone” outside the Strait of Hormuz, targeting vessels attempting to transit without Tehran’s permission.
The move is intended as a countermeasure to the U.S. blockade. American forces struck three Iranian oil tankers, permanently disabling them, in response to Iran’s launch of a missile at a U.S. aircraft carrier.

ideo obtained by Iran International, filmed aboard a nearby vessel, captures the US military’s radio warnings to the Iranian oil tanker STARK 1 before it was struck near Kharg Island.
Three warnings are audible over the VHF channel. In the first, a US military aircraft tells the tanker: “Motor Tanker STARK 1, this is the United States military aircraft. I am preparing to fire at your stern. You have 3 minutes to clear the crew from the stern of your ship. Over.”
The second cuts that to one minute. The third is final: “This was your final warning… get into your lifeboats and abandon the ship immediately.”
Between the warnings, crew members can be heard talking in Persian and Urdu. One asks whether the captain and his deputy are at their posts. He is told the captain is still asleep.
Iranian media reported on Saturday morning that a tanker had been hit by US forces six miles off Kharg Island, without naming the vessel. STARK 1 was carrying Iranian oil and was first sanctioned by Washington in 2018.

“Trump has said the midterm elections are not dictating his strategy here, and I think that’s true,” Mr Hinderaker told News24 host Rowan Dean.
“If they were, he would have only cared about bringing down the cost of oil.
“But he is really concerned with winning this fight long term and getting rid of Iran as a threat to world peace.”
