Show Notes
This week, David comes live from Jerusalem as Iran, Israel and the US settle into what feels like a precarious ceasefire.
Though not for President Trump, when not dropping the F-bomb on live TV, he’s solved the problem of the Middle East, and is currently waiting for the Nobel Peace Prize to be Fed Exed to the Oval Office. Probably.
But what if the ceasefire doesn’t hold, and, more importantly, what if the strike that delivered 30,000 lb “bunker buster” bombs to Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities, didn’t work either and Iran is still quietly building nuclear weapons?
Where does that leave the Middle East….and indeed the world?
In this latest episode, we’ll speak to Michael Oren, Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. and Dr Becky Alexis-Martin, a nuclear warfare expert about what might come next.

More from Apocalypse Now?
This week, we speak to journalist and best-selling author Douglas Murray on his latest book, On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West, drawing from on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, on a journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre.
This week, David comes live from Tel Aviv where he was woken up on his first morning by an air raid siren, accompanied by a recorded Hebrew voice telling him to get to a shelter.
142 days, that’s all it’s taken. 142 days of Trump to help destabilise a country’s infrastructure, undo tenets of the constitution, buckle the economy and fall out spectacularly with a tech-bro big dog and then have a bitch fight about it all on social media.
‘Death from above’ isn’t just something painted on the side of Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore's helicopter in Apocalypse Now anymore. Now you can buy it off the shelf…
Over 800 hundred lawyers have called on the UK government to use "all available means" to stop the fighting in Gaza, including reviewing trade ties with Israel and imposing travel bans on Israeli ministers.
