SHOCKWAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST: Trump’s Bombs Hit Iran, But Is the World Safer? Missiles flew, a ceasefire crumbled, and tensions skyrocketed—dive into this gripping episode of State of the World to uncover the truth behind Trump’s high-stakes gamble and its fallout across the globe

State of the World Hosts Sally Lockwood, reporting from Dubai where airspace shut down amid fears of Iranian retaliation, and Tara Palmeri in New York, unpack the dramatic US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, which a leaked report claims only delayed Iran’s program by months. Joined by former US diplomat Brett Bruen, fresh from the NATO summit in The Hague, they dissect Iran’s choreographed missile attack on Qatar’s Al Udeid airbase, the fragile ceasefire marred by Trump’s profane outburst, and the panic in safe havens like Doha and Dubai. From NATO’s unease over Trump’s unilateral moves to Europe’s flattery-laden diplomacy and fears of a “post-American era,” this episode explores the political, economic, and human stakes— including families hiding in Qatar and declining European tourism to the US. Did Trump’s strikes stabilize the region, or has he dragged the US into another Middle East quagmire?
