Today on The Insider, we get a debrief from two of my colleagues who have returned from a rare reporting trip to Tehran. I can’t wait to hear all about it, including details of their interview with Iran’s foreign minister. Join us at 6pm London time

Dispatch from Tehran: how dangerous is the Iranian regime today? | The Economist Insider

Nicolas Pelham, our Middle East correspondent, and Adam Roberts, our digital editor, are just back from a rare reporting trip to Tehran. They join our top editors in the studio to discuss what they learnt from an interview with Iran's foreign minister and consider the future of the Islamic Republic. After 46 years of theocracy and a brief but bruising war, where does power now lie? What are the regime’s nuclear ambitions? And with the prospects of a succession crisis, has Iran been permanently weakened—or is it storing up trouble?

Donald Trump’s first military action: sending troops to southern border. About 1,500 are being sent to supplement 2,500 troops currently there. They include 500 marines who were on standby for fire-fighting in LA but were not activated by FEMA. Numbers may grow to 10,000. 1/2

Australian intel chief Andrew Shearer says West underestimated alignment of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. Partnership will last for as long as Putin and Xi are in power and is unlikely to be broken. “The idea of driving wedges between them is pretty fanciful.” #HFX2024
