In this episode of The Source, our host and supporting editor Zain Raza speaks with historian and best-selling author Vijay Prashad about the release of the Epstein files, the widening fallout across the United States and Europe, and what it reveals about elite networks and political power. The conversation then turns to Iran, where escalating sanctions, nuclear negotiations, and open talk of military confrontation raise the stakes for the entire region.

They also examine the stalled Ukraine peace talks, shifting battlefield dynamics, and what the Munich Security Conference revealed about fractures within the West. Finally, they discuss Donald Trump’s newly launched Board of Peace for Gaza alongside the deepening crisis at the United Nations — and ask whether we are witnessing the unraveling of the current international order or the emergence of a new geopolitical framework.
