A major turning point in the Israel-Iran conflict
Update: 2025-06-17
Description
Israel launched attacks on Iran last week. Iran quickly retaliated. The fighting has left many feeling both fearful and hopeful. Now, it is unclear whether this escalation in a long-simmering conflict could turn into a wider war.
Elahe Izadi speaks with Post reporter Yeganeh Torbati about why Israel chose this moment to launch strikes against Iran, whether Iran’s government could fall, and whether the U.S. and President Donald Trump will get involved.
Today’s show was produced by Peter Bresnan. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and mixed by Sam Bair.
