In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we’re joined by political analyst Sami Hamdi to unpack the escalating confrontation with Iran - and what it reveals about the world order shaping our lives.
We examine claims of a preemptive strike, the shifting power dynamics between Washington and Tel Aviv, and whether U.S. policy is being driven by Israel’s actions. From reports that Tucker Carlson urged restraint to voices like Marjorie Taylor Greene framing this as a defining political divide in America, the stakes have never been higher.
What role are Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states really playing? Are Arab governments truly autonomous, or constrained by deeper alliances? Is Iran’s strategy sustainable, and could this conflict spiral beyond control? We also assess Benjamin Netanyahu’s regional vision and the risk of wider destabilisation.
Join us for a principled, in-depth discussion on what these events mean for the future of our ummah in international affairs.

[upbeat music] Hi, this is Matt from P1 with Matt and Tommy, and this episode is sponsored by eBay. The cars you'll find on eBay are just different. They come with a story that you can't wait to share. Like this 1973 Dodge Charger on eBay that's been tucked away in an Arizona barn for over forty years. Only fifty-five thousand miles, and somehow in great running order. It even has a rare sunroof. Suddenly, a car that was hidden for decades is being delivered in just a few clicks with eBay's secure purchase, all the paperwork handled. There are thousands of cars on eBay, from unique finds like the Pontiac Grand Prix SJ to daily drivers, and now with a new way to buy them. eBay: things people love.

[beeping] That's the sound of a big deal. At Wayfair, that sound happens a lot.
