UAE hits Iran’s economic lifeline | Decoding Trump’s spee...

What this episode covers

The UAE’s arrest of dozens linked to the IRGC’s sanctions-evasion network could mark one of the biggest blows yet to Tehran’s economic lifeline. Former U.S. Treasury sanctions strategist Miad Maleki, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Research Director Daniel Roth, and Iran International senior economic journalist Mohammad Machine-chian break down what this could cost the regime — and whether it could cripple Tehran’s ability to fund repression, proxies and sanctions evasion. Then Republican strategist, former Bal Harbour, Florida Mayor and Standpoint podcast host Gabe Groisman unpacks what President Trump’s Iran speech really signaled, who the message was intended for and whether “strategic ambiguity” is part of the plan. Plus, Iran International journalist Azadeh Akbari reveals new findings from a special report showing the regime moved weapons and personnel into at least 70 civilian sites, including schools.You can watch this week's episode of Eye for Iran or listen on any podcast platform.
