The Quad

Is the anti-Israel alliance finally starting to crack?
This week's episode of "The Quad" explores three major developments that could reshape the Middle East: Lebanon's unprecedented move toward distancing itself from Hezbollah, Iran's increasingly aggressive actions in the Strait of Hormuz and the growing anti-Hamas protests erupting inside Gaza. You'll learn why these stories may be more connected than they appear, what they reveal about shifting regional alliances and whether these dramatic changes signal the beginning of lasting peace or the opening chapter of an even more dangerous conflict.

Is President Trump securing a historic victory over Iran, or handing Tehran exactly what it wants?
The Quad panel wrestles with the growing confusion surrounding a reported U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, as both Washington and Tehran claim they’ve emerged victorious. Viewers will learn why the deal has sparked intense debate among some of Israel’s most outspoken commentators and what the agreement could mean for Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Israel’s security. The conversation also explores the widening gap between rhetoric and reality in the Middle East, the ongoing attacks from Lebanon, concerns over America’s commitment to its allies and the larger question of whether peace is being achieved, or merely postponed.

While missiles rained down on Israel, a far bigger story was unfolding behind the headlines and it could reshape the future of the entire Middle East. In this episode of The Quad, you'll learn how renewed Iranian attacks, Hezbollah's role in Lebanon, growing anti-regime protests inside Iran and the geopolitical calculations of President Trump and PM Netanyahu may all be connected. Featuring exclusive insights from Iranian activist Lily Moo, the panel explores what ordinary Iranians are saying behind internet blackouts and whether the Islamic Republic is facing its most vulnerable moment in decades.

What if the biggest misunderstanding in the Middle East is that Hezbollah and Iran are separate actors? In this episode, you'll learn why many Israelis view Hezbollah not as an independent Lebanese movement but as Tehran's most powerful proxy force, and why that distinction changes the entire conversation. Fleur Hassan-Nahoum breaks down the history of Hezbollah's military buildup and the argument that years of international diplomacy failed to stop the threat from growing. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode will challenge conventional narratives and reveal the strategic thinking behind Israel's determination to confront Hezbollah once and for all.
