Israel, Iran, and the moral clarity we need with Shuvaloy Majumdar

With Shuvaloy Majumdar, MP for Calgary Heritage This week, Israel launched one of the most significant military operations of our time—decimating Iranian nuclear infrastructure, IRGC command, and ballistic capabilities. The West? Mostly quiet. We go deep with Shuvaloy Majumdar, MP, former advisor at Foreign Affairs, and one of the sharpest, clearest voices on Middle East geopolitics today. In this episode: 🔥 What Operation Rising Lion tells us about the new era of warfare 🧠 Why Iran isn’t just a regional threat—but a global one 🇮🇱 Why we should be thanking Israel 🛰 How Israel’s campaign could reshape the Middle East—and what it means for Iranian dissidents 🛑 And why “de-escalation” may be the most dangerous word in Western diplomacy right now Plus: 🌍 Canada, the UK, and France: how the West is failing to lead 🎯 Why China and Russia are (for now) staying quiet 💡 The power vacuum inside Iran—and the once-in-a-generation opportunity it presents And don’t miss: 🇨🇦 Our domestic lens: • How Iran’s reach extends into Canada’s real estate and political networks • Why we should prepare for increased domestic extremism • And why the response from Canada’s government has been morally bankrupt Also in this episode: 📉 UK economy contracts 0.3%—we talk tax, talent, and the politics of non-doms 🚨 G7 trade wins: UK car tariffs down, UK-Canada security pact brewing, and a possible Carney–Trump deal in 30 days 🎖 Canada’s $9B defence announcement: long overdue, or spending set to burn? 🇺🇸 Trump’s departure from the G7 and ominous remarks on Iran: “It’s much bigger than a ceasefire…” 🔊 Listen now for the clearest, most sobering breakdown of the Israel–Iran conflict—and why it’s a hinge moment for the future of the West.
