Fareed Zakaria GPS

After President Trump announced that the US would blockade the Strait of Hormuz, Fareed asks retired Admiral James Stavridis, the former NATO supreme allied commander, what it would take to execute it.

Next, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins the show for an exclusive conversation about his own experience negotiating with Iran. 

Then, since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Fareed speaks with Tarek Masoud, director of Harvard Kennedy School’s Middle East Initiative about how this has impacted the relationship between the United States and its allies in the Gulf. 

Finally, Karen Young, senior fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, joins the show to discuss the potential impact on global energy prices if President Trump moves to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump Threatens to Blockade the Strait of Hormuz; Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken on His Experience Negotiating with Iran

Today on the show, the war with Iran shows no signs of slowing. President Trump took to Truth Social to threaten Iran into opening the Strait of Hormuz. This came after the successful conclusion of a high-stakes mission to rescue a stranded airman from an F-15 jet Iran shot down Friday. Fareed speaks with Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, about the recent developments and where the war might go from here.

Then, many of the Iranian regime’s top leaders have been killed since the start of the war. Fareed is joined by the International Crisis Group’s Ali Vaez to discuss what Iran’s current leaders might be thinking, and if they are more likely than before to pursue a nuclear bomb.

Finally, in the minds of many, the Islamic Revolution of 1979 dominates Iranian history. But the British-Iranian historian Ali Ansari tells Fareed that you must look further back to truly understand one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Escalation in the War with Iran

Today on the show, one month of war with Iran. Iran has rejected President Trump's 15-point peace plan to end the war. At the center of the proposed deal is Iran's nuclear program. Fareed speaks with Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, about Iran’s potential to rebuild their nuclear capabilities following the ongoing bombardment, and how a deal might be reached. 

Then, as President Trump dispatches thousands of additional troops to the Middle East, Fareed talks to Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling about where the war is headed.

Later, there are perhaps no more enthusiastic supporters of regime change in Iran than the Iranians living outside of the country. Fareed asks Iranian American journalist Azadeh Moaveni about the politics of the large and vocal diaspora.

Finally, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta lost two landmark court cases this week, as juries found some social media platforms liable for addicting or harming kids. Fareed asks founder of the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris if there will be a real reckoning for tech giants.

Then, how can we expect the war in Iran to unfold from here? Carnegie Senior Fellow Karim Sadjadpour and Lisa Anderson, international affairs professor at Columbia, join Fareed to discuss.

 

Finally, the war has triggered one of the worst oil shocks in decades, as Tehran continues to attack commercial ships and oil infrastructure across the region. Fareed speaks to Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, about which countries are most exposed, and which ones are set to benefit.

War with Iran: Reactions from Biden’s National Security Adviser; Will the Kurds Be Pulled into the Fighting?

Fareed Zakaria reports that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini has been killed amid U.S.-Israel attacks under “Operation Epic Fury,” with Trump urging Iranians to overthrow their government and promising continued bombing despite recently ongoing nuclear talks that Oman said had made breakthroughs. Zakaria argues the war lacks clear legal and strategic grounding, that airpower rarely achieves regime change, and that unilateral action undermines rules-based order, while Iran’s weakness and regional backlash—especially after strikes on Gulf states hosting U.S. assets—may not translate into Trump’s stated aims. Guests discuss the decapitation strikes, the likely next targets including Iran’s naval forces and IRGC mid-tier leadership, and the risk of leadership-targeting becoming more common.
