War with Iran. Breaking news every day from the Middle East. What does it all mean?
Andres Ilves, Leila Bazzi, and Matt Kaminski figure it all out in a lively and timely discussion in this week’s episode of the #MBNIranBriefing podcast.
The decapitation strategy to take out the Islamic Republic’s leadership: is it working? The first-ever strike on Iran’s natural gas infrastructure: where could that lead the next phase of the war? Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Iran’s other proxies: how far will this war spread?
The three journalists take up these questions, and more.

What is MBN Iran Podcast Briefing ?
The war around Iran is no longer confined to the battlefield—it is rapidly spilling into global markets, energy supplies, and regional stability. In today’s Iran Briefing podcast, three MBN senior voices unpack the latest developments: Iran’s new leadership doubling down on escalation, attacks spreading across the Gulf, and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. With tanker traffic collapsing and oil prices surging above $100 amid the conflict, the conversation looks at how this crisis could reshape Gulf economies, global trade, and the geopolitical balance far beyond the region.
