Iran’s Economic War: Oil, Terror Cells & the Strait of Hormuz
The war with Iran is entering a new and dangerous phase. It’s no longer only about missiles, drones, or military targets it’s about global economics.
In this episode of Inside Israel, Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani break down how the Iranian regime is trying to shift the battlefield by targeting the world’s energy supply and economic stability. From mining the Strait of Hormuz to striking oil infrastructure across the Gulf, the Ayatollah regime is attempting to pressure Israel, the United States, and the international community by disrupting the global flow of oil.
Nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply moves through the Strait of Hormuz, making it one of the most strategic waterways on Earth. By threatening this narrow passage, Iran hopes to raise global oil prices, damage Western economies, and force a political end to the war.
But Israel and the United States are responding with their own strategy targeting Iran’s financial lifelines, oil facilities, and the infrastructure that funds terror proxies like Hezbollah.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Iran’s attempt to weaponize the global economy
• The battle over the Strait of Hormuz
• How economic pressure shapes modern warfare
• Iran activating terror networks worldwide
• The propaganda war against Israel in Western media
• Why the next phase of this conflict could reshape the Middle East

Is the Iranian Regime About to Fall? Inside Iran’s Breaking Point
In this episode of Inside Israel, Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani examine one of the most dramatic developments in the Middle East in decades: the possibility that the Islamic Republic of Iran could be nearing its breaking point.
After unprecedented strikes by Israel and the United States that reportedly eliminated senior IRGC leadership and severely damaged key regime infrastructure, a critical question is now being asked across the region: Could the Ayatollah regime actually fall?
Joining the discussion is Ramin Parsa, who grew up in Iran and experienced life under the regime firsthand. Together, they explore what is really happening inside the country from the growing anger of the Iranian people to the brutal tactics used by the regime to maintain control.
In this episode, they discuss:
• The strikes that shook the Iranian regime
• Why protests inside Iran have reached a historic level
• How the IRGC and the Basij enforce the regime’s rule
• The real attitude of many Iranians toward Israel and the West
• Who could lead Iran if the regime collapses
• And why this moment could reshape the future of the Middle East
For decades, the Iranian regime has funded terror groups, threatened Israel, and destabilized the region. Now, for the first time in years, the regime itself may be facing a real test of survival.

The Clock Is Ticking: Is a Strike on Iran Imminent?
The clock is ticking.
President Trump says he prefers a deal with Iran — but warns that without one, it will be a “very bad day.” At the same time, the largest U.S. military buildup in the region in years is underway. Carrier groups, fighter aircraft, strategic assets — positioned and ready.
Is this leverage for diplomacy?
Or preparation for a strike?
In this special episode recorded at NRB in Nashville, Yair Pinto, Mati Shoshani, Chris Mitchell, and Daniel Cohen break down:
• The two-track strategy: negotiation and force
• Iran’s military preparations and threats in the Strait of Hormuz
• The risk of regional escalation through Hezbollah
• Why energy markets are already reacting
• The growing anti-Israel narrative inside parts of the American right
• The spiritual and geopolitical stakes of this moment
No one can guarantee if a strike comes tonight, this weekend, or not at all.
But one thing is certain: the Middle East has entered a new phase.

[…] Can you explain what are they and what's their goal? IRGC is a parallel military and the main goal of the IRGC is Iran's guard. It's like a revolutionary guard.
