Met Saddam, Survived Iraq: Why the Middle East Still Burns
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Joe and Ethan talk with Amjad M. Tadros — veteran Middle East journalist and former CBS News producer — about his three decades as a fixer in some of the region’s most dangerous conflicts.
Amjad shares the surreal story of being injured by a cruise missile in Baghdad, meeting Saddam Hussein in the hospital, and how that brief encounter opened doors for years of exclusive reporting. The conversation moves from the chaos of post-invasion Iraq to today’s Iran tensions, the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis, and why the Middle East remains so volatile.
