10 Minutes

From the Leader of the Revolution to the President, Iran set out its vision: strength through self-reliance, science, and unity, and not submission to Washington. Nuclear energy for progress, not weapons. Peace with neighbors, not dependence on America. Two speeches, two days, and one unmistakable signal: Iran's path to power will be written on its own terms.

Europe's leaders in the spotlight or perhaps, in the waiting room. As Paris, Berlin, and London move to snap back UN sanctions on Iran, critics say the decision isn't about diplomacy at all. It's about following Washington's orders. How the EU's influence is shrinking, why its strategic autonomy may be an illusion, and what this means for Europe's place in a rapidly changing world. All on this episode of 10 Minutes!

Iranian academic Mahdieh Esfandiari was jailed in France after condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Her case exposes a stark contradiction; a nation that claims to champion liberty silences criticism of the Israeli regime.

They called it “miniature.” Small. Delicate. Diminished. But Mahmoud Farshchian… he made it grand, radiant, alive. He opened the frame, letting colors flow like water and lines curve like the turning earth. He gave Persian painting a soul—a voice that spoke to the world. From the Guardian of the Gazelle to The Afternoon of Ashura… from Rumi and Shams to The Fifth Day of Creation… every stroke carried poetry, philosophy, the heartbeat of a people. Women, life, death, devotion… all breathed in his art. He has gone. His hand rests. But his art… it lives. Eternal. Immortal.

In Gaza, hunger is not a consequence of war—it's a weapon. Children are dying of starvation, not because there's no food, but because they're being kept from it. Aid convoys are targets. Distribution points are killing zones. This isn't a crisis—it's a calculated famine. Take a harrowing look inside Gaza's man-made starvation. The numbers are staggering. The suffering is unthinkable. And the silence? Deafening.

They called it a precision strike... but what followed was a precision collapse. Over 500 missiles. 22 waves. Billions in damage. Military bases. Intelligence centers. Cyber hubs. Censors tried to bury the truth. But satellite data, whistleblowers, and raw footage tell another story. This wasn't just retaliation... it was revelation. Operation True Promise III

In the dead of night, a leader falls. Ismail Haniyeh—voice of a nation, symbol of resistance—assassinated in Tehran. From the refugee camps of Gaza to the halls of power, his journey shaped the Palestinian struggle. Now, his death ignites a fire that could change the course of the region forever. This is the story of sacrifice, resilience, and a vow that will not be broken.

Four suicides in two weeks. Over 100,000 soldiers seeking psychological help. A society unraveling under endless wars. As Israel’s military campaigns grind on, its soldiers are falling, not just in battle, but by their own hands. Behind the rhetoric of strength lies a mental health crisis the regime won’t fully admit, and a generation paying the price.

The Leader and the showman

Israel faces deep-rooted issues related to sexual abuse, manipulation, and the exploitation of women for political and intelligence objectives. Recent high-profile scandals, including allegations of sexual abuse within the family of Minister Orit Strook, underscore a broader pattern of protecting known or accused sexual predators who have sought refuge in the regime. Historically, Israel has utilized women in covert operations such as honeytrap missions, with origins traced back to biblical lore, revealing a troubling side of its security practices. These realities challenge Israel's image as a liberal democracy and expose a darker, more complex truth about gendered abuse and manipulation within its institutions.
