For decades the Islamic Republic of Iran used its ties to
Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis in Yemen to create conflict and
shore up its power in the Middle East and beyond. But in 2024
Iran’s plans and power fell apart in spectacular fashion, from
Assad’s fall in Syria to Israel’s devastating attacks on its proxy
groups. Once able to export chaos with impunity, Tehran is now in a
state of unprecedented weakness. And it faces the return to the
White House of Donald Trump, who enacted a strategy of ‘maximum
pressure’ on Iran in his previous term. What does 2025 hold
for Iran? Gavin Esler talks to Hagai M. Segal, New York University
London professor and Middle-East advisor, and Paul Salem, vice
president for international engagement at the Middle East
Institute. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by
