Amanpour is CNN International's flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour

While President Trump argues the new Iranian regime is diminished, experts claim that a more hardline generation of leaders is now calling the shots. Nate Swanson served as the National Security Council's Iran director. Days before the US and Israel launched their war, he warned that Iran would respond exactly as it has done. He joins the show to discuss this all. 

Also on today's show: Ricardo Zúñiga, who led negotiations with the Cuban government during the second Obama administration; Jen Fifield, Reporter, ProPublica

NSC Warned This Would Happen

After four years of virtual stalemate in Ukraine, both Kyiv and the Kremlin are trying to use the war in Iran to their own advantage. President Zelensky visited the Middle East, offering battle-tested expertise on fending off Iran's done attacks, while Russia reportedly backs Iran with critical intelligence and weapons support, and for now, gains from soaring global oil prices. Zelensky joined Christiane from Kyiv. 

Also on today's show: historian Timothy Snyder; Mercy Corps CEO Tjada D'Oyen McKenna

Ellie Geranmayeh is a senior policy fellow at the European Council of Foreign Relations and joins the show to discuss the situation.

Confronting Divisions: The Pope, Trump, and Global Tensions

From the very start of his war with Iran, Donald Trump never laid out a coherent exit strategy. The regional implications have been massive: a complete upheaval all over the Middle East with Gulf allies of the US dragged into a war they wanted no part in. Retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal led US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, and before that, as Special Forces Commander in Iraq he led the mission to kill Al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab Al-Zaraqawi. McChrystal joins Christiane from Washington. 

Also on today's show: Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah & Israeli Maoz Inon on their new book, "The Future is Peace"; author Michael Pollan on his new book, "A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness"

Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich

The world energy supply continues to be choked by both Iran and America's blockades on the Strait of Hormuz. Americans are feeling the economic pinch, and the polls are looking less favorable for President Trump. What's more, this war is draining support from his MAGA base. One of the most vocal in her disappointment is former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is now calling for the president's removal and joins the show from Georgia. 

Also on today's show: Muhammad Saeed, Fmr. Chief of General Staff, Pakistani Army; Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman, S&P Global

Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks Out

Israel and Lebanon are meeting in Washington in their highest-level direct talks in more than 40 years. But the gaps of disagreement are wide, and any progress could be dashed by the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah, which says it won't abide by any agreement in the meeting. For the Lebanese people grappling with loss and displacement, there's little hope negotiations will herald change. Health care workers have also been victims in this war - since early March, dozens of medics have been killed in Israeli strikes. MSF volunteers have been working across three major hospitals in Lebanon, and their emergency coordinator Christopher Stokes joins the show from Beirut. 

Also on today's show: Haaretz military analyst Amos Harel; Sudanese entrepreneur and philanthropist Mo Ibrahim; actor Andrew McCarthy

Health Care Workers Under Siege

Putting the blame on failed peace talks squarely on Iran, President Trump ordered the US Navy to impose a blockade on Iranian ports, threatening to sink any Iranian ships that come near them. This move is intended to deal a devastating blow to Iran's already frail economy, but the country's top negotiator shrugged it off and warned American consumers they'd soon be "nostalgic" for lower gas prices. Joining the show to discuss all this is Danny Citrinowicz, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies and former head of the Iran branch of Israeli military intelligence. 

Also on today's show: Former US House Republican Adam Kinzinger; Former US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman; author A. Mechele Dickerson

Will Trump's Blockade Work?

A measured sigh of relief spread across the world this week after a ceasefire was announced in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Still, the prospect of a sustained peace feels elusive. Christiane gets the view from a close European neighbour, Greece, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Then, as Iran and the U.S. prepare for negotiations in Pakistan, is America's strategy in the war working? Christiane hears from Iran experts Ray Takeyh and Suzanne Maloney. Plus, Professor of Global Studies at the University of Tehran Sasan Karimi give Christiane the view from inside Iran. Then, a portrait of American injustice takes center stage in Broadway with "The Fear of 13", dramatizing the life of Nick Yarris who served two decades in prison for a crime he did not commit. Christiane speaks to lead actor Adrien Brody and playwright Lindsey Ferrentino. Plus, as the U.S. embargo on Cuba grinds life in the island to a halt, Christiane's 1998 report from Havana on how decades of sanctions have impacted the most vulnerable there. And finally, as the Artemis II crew make their way back to Earth, a look back at Christiane's conversation with astronaut Michael Collins on his own journey to the moon.Air date: April 11, 2026Guests:Kyriakos MitsotakisSuzanne Maloney & Ray TakeyhSasan KarimiAdrien Brody & Lindsey Ferrentino

A shaky Ceasefire Holds, but What’s Next for Iran?

It’s one day after another mass shooting in America – this time, at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. It raises the same old, yet vital, unanswered questions? How long will this remain the norm? How long before legislators step in to actually save lives, as in so many other democratic nations? Firearms are the leading cause of death among American children and adolescents aged between one and 19 – and in Nashville, three children were among the six slaughtered at their school. Our first guest tonight is himself a survivor of gun violence: at 17, Joseph Sakran survived a bullet wound to the throat. Now he is a trauma surgeon in Baltimore, Maryland, regularly seeing at close quarters the visceral violence that these weapons cause. 

Also on today's show: Martin Indyk, former US Ambassador to Israel; former tennis star Boris Becker and Alex Gibney, director of "Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker”
