Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Senior Advisor and former UK Ambassador for Yemen, Edmund Fitton-Brown, joined BBC Radio 5 Live host Mark Summers and guest Chris Doyle, Director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, to discuss the Israeli airstrikes on Iran and the United Kingdom's stance.

Edmund Fitton-Brown, a senior advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, cautioned that Tehran may already be close to exhausting its proxy playbook.

CEPs Alexander RItzmann highlighted that the core of the new youth neo-Nazi groups appears to radicalize offline, through interactions with friends, at sports events, during demonstrations, or within the family. Their hyper-visibility on TikTok or Instagram does not necessarily indicate that this is an online phenomenon. An online-focused prevention approach would therefore not be sufficient.

Iran’s spiritual leader has faced many challenges in his life, but the current military confrontation with Israel is the most severe crisis yet for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

After US strikes on Iran, US President Donald Trump signaled he is willing to resume talks with the country. But a short while later, he mentioned the possibility of a regime change in the Islamic Republic. Interview with Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler. 

Hans-Jakob Schindler from the international Counter Extremism Project also warns: The risk of attacks is likely to increase significantly worldwide – including in Europe and Germany – as a result of the Israeli offensive "Rising Lion" and the United States' entry into the war.

Iran: Continue to side with the regime. Regime change in Iran requires a strong opposition, says security expert [Counter Extremism Project Senior Director] Hans-Jakob Schindler. However, leadership and a shared vision are currently lacking.

While Fordo and Natanz, the two main uranium enrichment sites, have "suffered serious damage, and these reserves are not going to enrich themselves," notes Hans-Jakob Schindler, a former German diplomat in Tehran who worked on Iran's nuclear program. He now heads the Counter Extremism Project, an NGO fighting extremist movements.
