  • EP. 21 - "Where Is The Iran-Israel Conflict Headed?"
    Jun 24 2025

    The hosts of the political scene explore the motivations behind Israel's decision to launch strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and how Iran and the U.S. might respond. We also travel back in time to 2023 to hear the crew's reflections on the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2023 to see any possible indication that the lessons they have learned from covering that atrocity are making their way into their contemporary analysis of U.S. foreign policy (don't get your hopes up).
