Iran’s ruling regime may appear deeply entrenched—but history has shown that seemingly unshakable governments can collapse with astonishing speed. Could growing economic pressure, internal divisions and the loss of support from Russia and China bring Tehran to a similar breaking point?
Mike Baker speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor and vice president at the Heritage Foundation, about the vulnerabilities inside Iran, the intelligence partnerships exposing the regime’s weaknesses and why she refuses to give up on the Iranian people.
David Hookstead talks about NATO fighter jets scrambling to shoot down a Russian attack drone over Romania. The Koledino Wildberries distribution center and Moscow were also hit extremely hard. Russian President Vladimir Putin also continues to target Moldova and the Polish military is putting its might on display.

در این قسمت از برنامه، مجتبا پورمحسن در گزارش روزش، به اعتراف پزشکیان به موفقیت محاصره دریایی و لزوم افزایش قیمت بنزین میپردازد و میعاد ملکی، رییس پیشین دفتر هدفگذاری تحریمهای وزارت خزانهداری آمریکا، از طرح تازه واشینگتن برای تشدید فشار بر تهران میگوید.
جاویدنام مهدی اسکندریان پیش از جاویدنام شدن گفت: "میخواهم تکلیفم را با خودم روشن کنم؛ من کدام طرفی هستم." این گفته امروز یکی از مهمترین پرسشها برای هر ایرانی است؛ اینکه موضعش را در برابر جمهوری اسلامی روشن کند: سرنگونی یا حفظ آن؟ ایران یا جمهوری اسلامی؟

Donald Trump’s new statement on North Korea and South Korea stopped me in my tracks. Trump said his relationship with Kim Jong Un remains “very good,” criticized U.S.–South Korean military exercises, and said he instructed Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce those exercises. I explain why I believe this sends a deeply troubling message to America’s ally South Korea—and why it matters for Ukraine as North Korea continues supporting Russia’s war.
We also examine reporting about Putin’s long-term objective of taking the entire Donetsk region, the possibility of continued Russian offensives and further mobilization, and the danger of Moscow testing NATO’s willingness to respond. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues striking Russian targets as signs of pressure inside Russia become harder to ignore.
I take you inside occupied Melitopol, where residents celebrate the return of electricity after nearly 18 days without power, and then to Russia’s Black Sea region, where drivers describe fuel shortages and extraordinary gas lines. In Sochi, one man reports waiting more than five hours only to leave without enough fuel.

Ukraine delivered what Greg calls a fantastic night of long-range strikes, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued one of his strongest warnings yet about Russia, European security, and Poland’s rapidly growing military power.
Russia claimed it intercepted 598 Ukrainian drones across 19 regions, Crimea, and surrounding seas—a figure that remains an unverified Russian claim. Ukraine also reported a major strike involving the Flamingo FP-5 against the TsSKB Progress facility in Samara, a strategically important center connected to Russia’s rocket and satellite industrial base. Ukraine also struck Savasleyka Air Base, home to MiG-31 aircraft associated with Kinzhal missile launches against Ukraine.
The contrast remains brutal. While Ukraine targets Russian military and industrial infrastructure, Russia continued its own barrage against Ukraine. Greg discusses reports of 152 drones overnight and the heartbreaking death of a three-month-old infant in Marhanets. With autumn approaching, Ukraine’s campaign against Russian military capabilities and Donald Tusk’s warning about the threat from Russia point toward an increasingly consequential period ahead.

This new tech worked, but it's not enough
Check out our campaign to help soldiers on the Southern Front here: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front
So Russia just rolled out some pretty impressive new technology and it sort of worked then didn’t.
It’s a new drone defense system, the Arena M, and it sounds like it may have perfectly intercepted some Ukrainian drones flying at Russian tanks. Problem is, they were facing hundreds and the system was overwhelmed.

Ukraine’s information war is heating up alongside the battlefield. A viral claim that Ukraine destroyed a North Korean munitions train deep inside Siberia is false, while Russia’s Defense Ministry, Ukraine’s military communications team, and Fire Point trade increasingly direct warnings about what may be coming this autumn and winter.
Sergei Lavrov then makes Moscow’s position unmistakable: Russia does not intend to stop military operations along the current line of contact. He discusses Russia’s objectives, the United States, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, the Alaska negotiations, U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine, and why Moscow believes there is still no basis for ending the war.
I also look at Ukraine’s continuing need for a strong ambassadorial voice in Washington, Fire Point’s provocative Moscow imagery, and the widening gap between what Russia says it wants, what Ukraine can accept, and what the United States may actually be able to accomplish diplomatically.

It's clear this strike was the US, but we haven't owned up
Today’s guest is Harrison Mann, a former U.S. Army major and executive officer of the Defense Intelligence Agency's Middle East/Africa Regional Center who resigned in protest at his office's support for Israel's war in Gaza. We talk about the Minab school strike in Iran, where that investigation stands right now and the impact this has on the perception of the US military at home and abroad.

This morning, both Latvia & Romania have been breached by drones causing NATO to scramble fighter jets to intercept. Explosions could be heard in both countries as NATO jets shot down the drones. This is currently a developing story, and a response may be imminent. Meanwhile, Ukrainian sources claim that a massive train carrying North Korean Ballistic Missiles was destroyed by Ukrainian special forces last night in a bold claim that could cause more issues for Russian frontline soldiers. We also have news that Ukraine struck and severely damaged the Crimean Baklava power plant which serves as the peninsula’s main power station and also targeted dozens of substations plunging the region into a major power blackout. And we also have news that Ukraine just conducted a large attack on Russia’s biggest Baltic Seaport at Ust-Luga as fires and smoke are seen from the facility.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptors than in 2025 while Russia is firing twice as many ballistic missiles per month—and Ukraine currently has only 1% of the missile stock request he says could help protect the country through winter.
Meanwhile, Ukraine strikes a critical Russian radar system in Sevastopol, pressure builds around occupied Crimea, Moscow escalates threats toward Japan over the Kuril Islands, and a prominent Russian military spokesman openly describes plans to push Russia’s “buffer zone” deeper into Ukrainian territory.
We break down the ballistic missile numbers, Ukraine’s air-defense crisis, why Kramatorsk and Slovyansk remain critical, and why the warning signs point toward an extraordinarily difficult fall and winter far beyond Ukraine.
I also give an update on our Ukraine Support Bridge campaigns supporting Sava, a Ukrainian refugee student, and Project Constantine.
