    President Trump says there’s practically nothing left to target in Iran. Is the White House looking for an off ramp?

    Host Mary Louise Kelly is joined this week by Pentagon Correspondent Tom Bowman, and Tel Aviv-based International Correspondent Daniel Estrin. They discuss how drone and satellite technology is coming into play in the war in Iran, the limited communication from U.S. and Israeli militaries about the war's progress and the divergent goals of the two countries.

  • Is Iran another Iraq?

    Is Iran another Iraq?
    2026/03/09
    Poor planning, overly ambitious goals, not thinking through the aftermath. These are the parallels that Richard Haass sees between the 2003 U.S. invastion of Iraq and its current air campaign against Iran.

    Haass was in charge of planning for the invasion as a top official in the State Department. He was a voice of dissent within the administration. Now he's president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations and author of the Home & Away newsletter. He talks to Host Mary Louise Kelly about the Trump administration's foreign policy and national security apparatus and where he sees it falling short on Iran.

    Iran’s fight for survival / The widening war / Trump’s nebulous goals
    2026/03/05
    The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran is spilling out across the region. What are the goals? And how does it end?

    Host Mary Louise Kelly talks with International Correspondent Aya Batrawy, based in Dubai, and Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman, about the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Six days of war have turned the middle east upside down, and it's still not clear how the U.S. will determine when its objectives have been accomplished.

    Without a press corps, who holds the Pentagon to account?
    2025/09/25
    And the president designates Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.


    This episode, we dig into the Pentagon's demand that reporters sign a pledge commiting not to gather any information -- including unclassified reports -- that hasn't been authorized for release, or lose their press credentials. Mary Louise Kelly talks with Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman about how how it could change his reporting. And domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef clarifies what President Trump's executive order means in practice and what it signals.

    U.S. and Israel strike Iran. Here's what we know
    2026/02/28

    Overnight, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran.

    The strikes targeted Iran’s top leaders, Supreme Leader Khamanei and President Masoud Pezeshkian — trying to kill them, according to a person briefed on Israel’s operation who spoke to NPR. Iran has responded by lobbing missiles at Israel and other countries in the region that host U.S. troops.

    Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Greg Myre, NPR national security correspondent, and Daniel Estrin, NPR international correspondent based in Tel Aviv, about what they know and what could come next.
