Ceasefire or Strategy? Iran–Israel Tensions Unpacked

In the 4 July 2025 episode of the Geneva Graduate Institute's "What Matters Today" podcast,  Dr Clément Therme, alumnus and former visiting lecturer at the Geneva Graduate Institute, unpacks the 12 day confrontation between Iran and Israel.

In the episode, Dr Clément Therme and host Dan Graham explore who’s gaining from the current unrest and who’s paying the price, while considering the historical context of past conflicts in the region. They also consider what could follow if the Islamic Republic were to fall: What political or social alternatives might emerge? What would that mean for the region, for global powers, and for the future of U.S.-Iran diplomacy?
