Trump Threatens Iran: Bluff or Obama 2.0?

“Bad things will happen,” and after this episode, you’ll understand exactly why that line is either a masterstroke…or a warning we’re all ignoring. Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum—both former advisers at the Prime Minister's Office—dissect President Trump’s Iran posture in real time: the aircraft carriers, the threats, the diplomacy and the unnerving question underneath it all: is this coercive diplomacy done right, or the start of an Obama-style trap where Iran stalls, the West settles and the regime survives stronger? You’ll learn the strategic logic behind Trump’s “deal or else” approach, the Israeli debate over whether any agreement is even possible and the chilling moral dilemma of what happens to the Iranian people if the world chooses negotiations over pressure. The hosts leave you right at the edge of the only question that matters: is Trump setting the terms… or getting played?

Trump vs Netanyahu on Iran: What They Really Said Behind Closed Doors

What if the Trump–Netanyahu meeting isn’t about peace talks at all, but about squeezing Iran while it’s flat on the mat? Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack the White House showdown everyone’s obsessing over, then do something wildly revealing: they role-play what might have actually been said behind closed doors, with “Trump” pushing pressure-diplomacy and “Netanyahu” warning there’s no such thing as a good-faith deal with the Ayatollahs. You’ll learn how Trump thinks about leverage, war, and “a deal backed by a club,” why Israel is desperate not to have its hands tied and what a “good deal” would even mean when sanctions, inspections, missiles and terror funding are all on the line. If you want the real strategic debate , not the talking points, this one pulls you right into the room.

Ep. 207: The double game of the ‘American’ king of Jordan

According to JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, understanding the anomalous position of the kingdom of Jordan requires balancing distaste for its strident public advocacy against Israel against its role as a strategic ally. Tobin is joined in this week’s episode of Think Twice by journalist Aaron Magid, the author of the biography The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan. Magid, who worked in Amman for several years as a reporter says that it’s hard to measure the popularity of Jordan’s King Abdullah since its people have no say in their government. But he points out that Abdullah has skillfully navigated a dangerous political and strategic landscape by seeking to mollify the approximately half of his country’s population that is Palestinian with criticisms of Israel. At the same time, the half-British and American-educated king (who at the time of his accession to the throne in 1999 spoke better English than Arabic) has managed to closely align his country with the United States. And he is dependent on the close cooperation between his security services and those of the United States and Israel, without which it is unlikely that he would still be on the throne. The author points out that the regime in Jordan is far less repressive than other Arab and Muslim countries but it is not a democracy. And he has maintained the peace treaty with Israel that his father King Hussein agreed to in 1994 despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Jordanians, both Palestinian Arabs and “East Bankers” would prefer that it be abrogated. Magid says that hatred for Israel and Jews is pervasive in Jordanian society with copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf being sold on the streets of its cities. By contrast, sale of Magid’s book, which is by no means highly critical of Abdullah, is banned in the kingdom. Jordan receives $1.45 billion a year in aid from the United States and Magid says the reason why Abdullah managed to hold onto power during the Arab Spring protests of 2011 is because, unlike, for example, Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, the U.S. didn’t discard him. In return for that money, Jordan allows the American troops to be stationed on its territory and assists the U.S. in dealing with threats, including shooting down Iranian missiles that were aimed at Israel in 2024. While friends of Israel had good reason to be outraged over some of the statements Jordan has made about the Palestinian war on Israel, such as Queen Rania’s denial of the atrocities committed on Oct. 7, 2023, Magid says that is part of the price Israel pays for having a tacit ally on its border. He also notes that the reason why Jordan hasn’t extradited Palestinian terrorist murderer Ahlam Tamimi to the United States is that Washington has never prioritized the issue. That allows Tamimi, who took part in the 2001 Sbarro Pizza bombing in Jerusalem in which 16 people were murdered, including 15-year-old American Malki Roth, to evade justice.

Ep. 245: The resistance rabbit hole and the end of democracy

Legitimizing Nazi comparisons to ICE agents and treating the debate about illegal immigration as akin to a fight against fascism cannot be separated from the rise of left-wing antisemitism.

Ep. 246: The Epstein files’ toxic mix of true crime and conspiracy theories

Did Biden’s Wartime Decisions Cost Israeli Lives? Netanyahu’s Explosive Claim

A nation buries its last returned hostage and at the same time, a political firestorm detonates in Jerusalem. Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum walk you through the heartbreaking return of Ran Gvili, the chilling risks IDF soldiers took to recover him from a Gaza mass grave and the explosive moment PM Netanyahu publicly suggests Israeli soldiers died because critical U.S. ammunition was held back in 2024. You’ll learn how wartime supply decisions ripple into battlefield casualties, how Hamas weaponized hostage psychology to fracture Israeli society and why Trump-era “green light” signals may have shifted Hamas’s calculations. All this before the conversation turns to Iran, where a “beautiful armada” and a rumored backchannel could decide whether diplomacy is real… or just the prelude.

Netanyahu and Trump signal a harder US–Israel strategy toward Iran

US-Iran negotiations in Iran may be less “breakthrough” than smokescreen, buying time as the U.S. and Israel quietly prepare for what comes next, highlighted by PM Netanyahu’s emergency Washington trip, talk of joint strike planning (including the Israeli Air Force leadership) and hardening red lines beyond nukes to include ballistic missiles, terror sponsorship and even regime behavior toward its own people. Viewers will come away understanding President Trump’s leverage-first negotiating style, what a “real deal” would have to include, why the Iranian leadership may never accept it and why recent escalation, like an Iranian drone approaching the USS Abraham Lincoln, make the “diplomacy” storyline feel like the opening act of something far bigger.

Ep. 206: Subversion from both sides undermining Trump and the West

Progressives and far right conspiracy mongers have more than just antisemitism in common. According to JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, those trying to subvert President Donald Trump’s agenda consist of not only the left-wing “resistance” leading an insurrection in Minneapolis. The same goal motivates China and its various allies and business partners like Qatar. Tobin is joined in this week’s episode of Think Twice by journalist Lee Smith, author of the new book, The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact. Smith believes that over the past quarter-century, a bipartisan coalition of Republicans and Democrats have helped the Chinese Communist Party via a disastrous trade deficit and allowing fake CCP companies to list on U.S. capital markets. Trump has sought to address this problem with some success via tariffs. TikTok poses a danger to U.S. national security via its ability to influence Americans. The pending sale of the platform, however, raises questions about whether the interests of large GOP donors who profit from dealings with Beijing will undermine Trump’s efforts to shift the focus of U.S. foreign policy to dealing with the threat from China. Smith also thinks it’s vital for the U.S. not to let the Islamist regime in Iran, which is a key ally of China, escape from its current predicament caused by mass protests seeking its overthrow. He argues that China’s influence operation in the United States in which officials below the national level, like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are being targeted by them to support their policies, is a real danger. The author is concerned that lobbying by business interests and others will pressure Trump not to follow up on efforts to exert maximum pressure on Tehran. He also throws cold water on the idea that there is any deal to be made between the United States and Iran. He worries that by giving Tehran time via negotiations that will never lead anywhere, the theocrats will wriggle out of their current predicament. He’s also worried about the rise of antisemitism on the right and the way those, like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, are seeking to stop American action against Iran is very troubling. Even more dangerous are the questions raised about the intentions of Carlson’s friend Vice President JD Vance, who seems not to understand the role that Israel plays in American interest and in advancing American peace and prosperity in a vitally strategic region of the world. He’s equally worried about the ability of Qatar not only to buy influence in the United States but to get support inside the Pentagon.

How Media Narratives Amplify Hamas Propaganda and Misinformation

The media didn’t just get this story wrong, they got caught laundering credibility. From a widely quoted “doctor” later linked to a militant hierarchy, to the viral casualty-numbers firestorm and how selective framing turns statistics into propaganda, the panel walks you through how to spot the tricks in real time...who benefits, what gets omitted, and why “we can’t independently verify” only seems to apply when it’s convenient. Then the conversation swings into Trump’s “phase two” talk and the fantasy that Hamas will disarm, before closing with a cathartic “Scumbag of the Week / Hero of the Week” gauntlet that turns outrage into a practical playbook: how to counter narrative warfare without constantly playing defense.
