15 months ago, Syria finally saw an end to the nearly 14 years of civil war after the ousting of Syrian Dictator Bashar Al-Assad. Now, as the US and Israel's war on neighboring Iran only escalates while they continue calls for Iranian civilians to "take over" their government, the question remains: could a Western-backed, civilian-led uprising come to fruition in Iran? And how much more difficult would regime change be there versus a country like Syria? Who better to ask than Middle East journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Anand Gopal – whose newest book, Days of Love and Rage, reports in-depth on Syria's civil war. In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Gopal explains to Mehdi which lessons from Syria's civil war are relevant for Iran today.

Ben Rhodes served as deputy national security adviser in Barack Obama's White House for eight years. He was working with President Obama as Benjamin Netanyahu continued to pressure the US, time and time again, to attack Iran. Obama, says Rhodes, resisted the Israeli prime minister's pressure campaign, but now under President Donald Trump's second term, it's clear that "Netanyahu essentially bullied him [Trump] into this war." In this wide-ranging interview, Mehdi and Rhodes discuss Israel's role in provoking this war with Iran, the Democratic Party leadership's weak response to the conflict, and the events that led up to this disaster during the Obama and Biden presidencies.

Very few people have the credibility to speak on Iran's nuclear capabilities like Mohamed ElBaradei can. As the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1997 to 2009, who tried to prevent the illegal invasion of Iraq on spurious WMD grounds in 2003, ElBaradei joins Mehdi to discuss the biggest and most concerning aspects of the Israel-American war with Iran, the credibility of its nuclear justifications, and how it is changing the future of war.

In the wake of the US's assassination of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, many are asking – will Iran actually see regime change, as President Donald Trump has called for? What would that take? And is the real goal to engineer a civil war inside of Iran and leave it as a failed state? In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi gets straight down to the facts with one of the top Iranian-affairs experts, Ali Vaez – who serves as the International Crisis Group's Iran Project Director. Vaez breaks down how the country's leadership is handling this crisis and why he worries the US and Israel's war on Iran may bring the country to state collapse.

"This isn't a war! It was a preemptive strike!" That's the ludicrous and false narrative the Trump administration and the GOP have been touting since the US and Israel launched their illegal attack on Iran less than a week ago. But in his latest monologue, Mehdi brings the receipts to show how we've heard this story before – just look at Putin's war in Ukraine. The parallels, he says, are as clear as they are eery - but also conveniently ignored by the mainstream media in the United States.

Democrats should be doing victory laps right now, after President Donald Trump's rambling State of the Union address is already polling as the least popular SOTU speech of the century. Yet, the party still appears to be in worse shape than ever before, suffering from their own record-low approval ratings. Perhaps that's why people like Rep. Seth Moulton, a 47-year old Iraq War veteran, are calling for a change in leadership, as he challenges 79-year old Senator Ed Markey for his Massachusetts Senate seat. In this wide-ranging and challenging interview with the centrist Democratic congressman, Mehdi asks Moulton whether he can beat a progressive incumbent senator with such high approval ratings, and also challenges him on his own voting record in the House.

Since being named CBS News's Editor in Chief in October, Bari Weiss has turned the network into a soft-MAGA mouthpiece – just take a look at its latest roster of contributors, which is a who's who of at best, centrist pundits, and at worst, right-wing hacks. While it's easy to dunk on Bari Weiss, CBS's rightward shift is indicative of a larger problem in our media ecosystem: across so-called "liberal" media, there's long been a glaring absence of proper progressive and leftist voices. In his latest scathing monologue, Mehdi breaks down the progressive-shaped hole in our mainstream corporate-controlled media and makes the case for why supporting independent journalism now is more important than ever.
