US and Israel carry out joint attacks on Iran

The podcast covers the unfolding military conflict between the US and Israel against Iran, triggered by strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities. President Trump declares the operation, codenamed "Epic Fury," aims to dismantle Iran's missile capabilities and navy, urging Iranians to overthrow the Ayatollah regime. Correspondents report explosions in Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, with civilians at risk. Reactions from inside Iran are limited due to communication restrictions, but some express support for the strikes. The podcast further explores the potential for a wider regional conflict, the US government's decision to proceed without Congressional approval, and an internet blackout imposed on Iran.
