What next for Iran and Israel? Will the US intervene under the command of President Trump, and is Ayatollah Khamenei a legitimate target? These are questions amongst others discussed this week by political analyst, Batool Subeiti. We start with a generic overview of the geopolitical and historical state of affairs, before getting into the current climate of war and risk. We also discuss the effect on the Muslim world, and the relationship between Sunnis and Shias at a time like this. This is an episode not to be missed - and one which is incumbent on all to hear.

All and any views disclosed in this discussion are done so independently by speakers, and are not reflective of the brand.

In this episode of the After Maghrib Podcast, we’re joined by Ammar to explore what Donald Trump’s potential return as the 47th President of the USA could mean for Western Muslims and other communities. Why did Kamala Harris fail? What mechanisms did the Republicans use which were effective? What is Trump’s record on Islamophobia and fascism? Ammar gives further insight on the inevitable effect on Gaza, and on US-Israel relations. Join us for a deep dive into the challenges and possibilities that may lie ahead for Muslims in America and beyond.
