  • Your Shortcut to... Iran and Israel

    Your Shortcut to... Iran and Israel
    Apr 17 2024
    For the first time, Iran has directly attacked Israel. Last weekend Iran launched more than 300 targeted missiles and drones, almost all of which were shot down by Israel's defence systems. Now the world is waiting to see how Israel responds, and whether the region will descend into all-out war. Squiz recommends: Listening: The Post Reports podcast from The Washington Post has a first-hand account of their reporter living through Iran's attack. Listening: On our very own News Club, Kate Watson talks to Adam Harvey (an ABC reporter, formerly based in the Middle East) about how the news from Israel is filtered out to the rest of the world.
