Israel’s next PM: Can they ‘finish the job’ in Iran? | Eye for Iran | EP 127 |
Is the Islamic Republic running out of time?Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emerged from a closely contested election promising to eliminate the Iranian threat once and for all. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have dispatched senior officials to Tehran amid fears of another war. And in an exclusive interview with Iran International, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicts Iran's economy could shrink by more than 25% in a single year.
With oil revenues drying up, economic pressures mounting and renewed US and Israeli strikes looming, could the Islamic Republic be approaching a turning point?
On this episode of Eye for Iran, host Negar Mojtahedi brings together nine journalists, economists and regional experts to examine the military, diplomatic and economic pressures converging on Tehran.
Israel's Election: What Comes Next for Iran?
Netanyahu's Likud has emerged as Israel's largest party, but forming a government remains a challenge. With Netanyahu promising to confront the Islamic Republic alongside President Donald Trump, what might the election mean for Israel's next moves against Iran? And would a change of government make any difference?
Dan Feferman, Middle East researcher and co-founder of Middle East 24; Alex Winston, news editor of The Jerusalem Post; and Benjamin "Benji" Basire, Iranian-born Jewish legal scholar and host of The Benji Show, discuss Netanyahu's political future, Israel's military options and the significance of the election for Iranians.
The Mecca Defense Pact: Can Regional Powers Prevent Another War?
Saudi Arabia's defense minister, Pakistan's army chief and Turkey's intelligence chief have visited Tehran amid escalating Houthi attacks and fears of renewed US and Israeli military action. What prompted this unusual diplomatic initiative, and what can the three countries realistically achieve?
Henri Barkey, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; historian Shahram Kholdi; and Saad bin Tefla Al-Ajmi, Kuwait's former information minister, examine the motives behind the visit, the military capabilities of the Mecca Defense Pact and the prospects for averting another regional war.
Iran's Economic Crisis: Could the Economy Shrink by 25%?
In an exclusive interview with Iran International, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicts Iran's economy could contract by more than 25% by March 2027, exceeding the contraction recorded during the first year of the Iran-Iraq War. He also warns of further US economic pressure.
With oil exports effectively halted and access to foreign currency increasingly restricted, what would such a contraction mean for ordinary Iranians and the country's political stability?
Kambiz Tavana, the Iran International journalist who interviewed Bessent; economist Mohammad Machine-Chian; and Miad Maleki, former US Treasury official and expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, examine Washington's strategy, Iran's deteriorating economic outlook and the potential political consequences.
