Professor Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies at the University of Tehran, joins Rania Khalek to break down the 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that took effect on April 17 — and Iran's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire." Marandi explains how Iran forced the ceasefire, stating bluntly: "Iran is not going to forsake Lebanon." He also warns that despite the pause, Tehran is actively preparing for a potential second phase of the U.S.-Israel war, one that could drag the global economy "into the abyss." #breakthroughnews

Is the U.S.-Iran ceasefire a peace deal or an Israeli trap? Journalist and lawyer Dimitri Lascaris joins the show while en route to Lebanon, after traveling through Iran. Lascaris warns that Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” could be a “ruse,” saying he would operate on the assumption that Trump is a “pathological, treacherous, and perfidious liar.” He argues Iran still has its “finger most decidedly on the trigger,” while describing ongoing diplomacy as theater masking continued Israeli escalation in Lebanon and beyond. #breakthroughnews

Walter Smolarek, editor of Liberation News, breaks down the Trump administration's chaotic Iran policy—where officials contradicted each other and scrambled to recover from repeated miscalculations. The central question: Did Israel drag the U.S. into war, or was Washington already all in? Smolarek explains there was "a baseline desire for regime change in Iran" inside Washington, forcing officials to "get themselves out of the corner they backed into." Meanwhile, the Democratic response reveals a deeper crisis across the political establishment. #breakthroughnews

Support our work: http://novara.media/support Buy Novara Media merch: https://shop.novaramedia.com/ In this one-off event to mark the Death in Westminster podcast, Professor Kojo Koram and Dr Dalia Gebrial were joined by expert guests to uncover how secret offshore billions are ruining Britain. In front of a live audience at EartH in Hackney, they spoke to Peter Geoghegan, investigative journalist and founder of the influential Democracy for Sale newsletter, and Stephanie Brobbey, a “recovering” private wealth lawyer and founder of the Good Ancestor Movement. What exactly is ‘dark money’? What is the Institute for Economic Affairs ? How are both impacting our politics for the worse? What can a former private wealth lawyer teach us about how to effectively crack down on this industry of financial hoarding? And what can everyday people do to highlight the danger of dark money in politics? This event accompanied a new four-part podcast series, Death In Westminster, produced by Planet B Productions and available from Novara Media.
