episode From Nuclear Deal to Airstrikes: The Road to the U.S.–Israel Attack on Iran cover

Description

In this episode, I break down the dramatic escalation that saw the United States and Israel launch strikes on targets inside Iran, sending shockwaves across the world. I examine the timeline of events that led to the attacks, from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and its collapse to years of mounting tensions, covert operations, and regional confrontations. I also explore the reported assassination of Iran’s leader, the strategic importance of Iran’s energy resources and geography, and why the United Kingdom has taken only a limited role so far. Finally, I discuss about the global reactions, the battle of narratives unfolding on social media, and what Iran’s potential response could mean for the future of the Middle East and global stability.

Oscars 2026: Sinners, One Battle After Another & the Bigger Picture

In this episode, I share my reflections on the 2026 Oscars, focusing on the night’s biggest talking point — the success of Sinners and its loss of Best Picture to One Battle After Another. While Sinners took home major awards, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan and Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, its overall outcome sparked widespread debate. I explore what the results reveal about the film industry, including ongoing conversations around racism and the under-recognition of films centred on African American experiences. I also discuss about the controversy surrounding One Battle After Another, particularly discussions about the portrayal and fetishisation of Black women, and why these themes resonated so strongly with audiences. This is more than a recap — it’s a look at what the Oscars say about whose stories are celebrated, whose are overlooked, and why that still matters today.
