In this episode of Passages Pulse, Josiah McGee and Olivia Layne break down a rapidly shifting moment in the Middle East as Iran talks collapse, new dynamics emerge in Lebanon, and major questions remain unanswered.

With headlines moving fast and narratives changing by the hour, it can be difficult to understand what’s actually happening and what it all means.

So what’s really going on, and did diplomacy just fail?

We unpack:

🌍 What led to the collapse of recent Iran talks and why it matters

🇱🇧 Why Lebanon is suddenly becoming a key part of the conversation

⚠️ How shifting alliances and regional pressure are shaping what comes next

🧠 Why so much feels unresolved despite major developments
