For episode 213, I talk about the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, how we got here, and what this means for both Iran and Lebanon. Also: Israel's ideological opposition to the concept of accountability, Israel's decreasing popularity in the US, the Ayatollah's brutal reign, and finally Hezbollah's catastrophic decision to join the war and how this is causing a severe crisis in Lebanon.

Note on sound quality: I know there's a bit of a variation as I was pacing between two different rooms. Note to self for next time: stick to one room! I also had to do a quick edit on this one and I may have missed a cough or two. Hopefully not.
