About this episode

The recent U.S. airstrike on Iranian soil — a rare and targeted move — has sparked debate about its effectiveness and the risks of deeper military entanglement in the Middle East. Today we break down what led to the strike, what damage was done, and how Iran may respond.

We also explore what this moment could mean going forward — from the chances of renewed diplomacy to the possibility of Iran accelerating its nuclear ambitions.
