Iran Strikes Back! Continuous Attacks - Where Does It Go From Here?

Author: Greg Matsen June 14, 2025 Duration: 42:45

Jason Olson and Jabra Ghneim join Greg once again as attacks from both Israel and Iran continue. Who is obviously in the right? Where does it go from here? What does the rest of the Middle East really think about this?

Trump goes bold. Doubles down.

Jason Olson holds his Ph.D. in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies from Brandeis University (2016). His first book, "America's Road to Jerusalem," was released by Lexington Books in 2018. He researched the role of Christian Zionism in the development of a pro-Israel U.S. foreign policy. His second book, "The Burning Book," won the 2022 Association for Mormon Letters award in creative nonfiction. In his doctoral studies, Jason held fellowships with The Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Hertog Global Strategy Initiative at Columbia University, Israel Institute, American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, and the American Jewish Archives. In 2013, he served as teaching fellow for the Summer Institute for Israel Studies (Brandeis), where he educated an international group of scholars in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Jabra Ghneim is an educator, translator, and researcher with deep expertise in language services, refugee integration, and Middle Eastern affairs. A native Arabic and English speaker, he has led major translation and localization efforts for faith-based organizations and U.S. government clients, including curriculum design, interpretation, and training for Arabic, Farsi, Pashto, and other critical languages. For over three decades, he has served as the lead Arabic interpreter and translator for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, translating sacred texts, including the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants, into Arabic. He holds a PhD in Educational Inquiry, Measurement, and Evaluation and an MSc in Economics from Brigham Young University, as well as a BA in Economics and Finance from Yarmouk University in Jordan. Jabra is passionate about cultural bridge-building, Jewish-Arab relations, and the power of language to connect people across divides.

Hosted by Greg Matsen, Cwic Media-LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints digs into the substance of faith and community without the usual polish. This is a conversation grounded in theology and history, where scriptural analysis meets the realities of modern life. The discussions here often focus on the Cwic Interpreters, a framework for engaging with the Book of Mormon, New Testament, and Old Testament in a way that feels immediate and practical. You’ll hear unscripted explorations of how current cultural shifts and political conversations intersect with and impact the lived experience of Latter-day Saints. The aim is to articulate those sometimes unspoken trends within and around the Church, treating them with intellectual seriousness. That means no fluff-just direct dialogue about what it means to be a Latter-day Saint and a Christian navigating today’s world. Listeners find this podcast to be a distinct voice, one that doesn’t simply rehash familiar topics but offers a new approach to understanding both ancient texts and contemporary challenges. It’s for those who want their religious content to be substantive, candid, and connected to the broader human experience. Each episode is built on the premise that faith deepens through rigorous, honest examination, making this a unique entry in the landscape of LDS-focused media. Tune in for a perspective that is both deeply rooted and unafraid to ask questions.
