Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. For this episode, we're rejoining for part two of our recent live event with Christian Aminpoor, chief international anchor for CNN. In conversation with Richal Asshar, Aminpoor joined us to help make sense of the world in 2026 and address some of the most pressing questions of our time on Trump, wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan, and the future of journalism.
If you haven't heard part one, we recommend jumping back an episode and get up to speed. Let's rejoin the conversation now live at the Emanuel Centre in London. Well let's think about Israel for a moment because obviously Donald Trump does have influence on the Israel-Gaza conflict. And one of the consequences of the weakening of Iran is is the weakening of Hamas and those allies across the region that that Iran uh uh you know funded and and and supported. Um what do you think Donald Trump can do, will do to resolve that situation?
Do you see Well, hard to know. I tell you, um, just about the Iran situation, even even d his latest comments were Yeah, regime change maybe maybe in the end. It's very woolly. It's just very difficult to get a hold on what the actual aim is because two days ago he was saying, you know, I want to have a deal.
