No good options: how Iran will respond

Podcast cover

Economist Podcasts

The Intelligence podcast episode covers two main topics: the potential consequences and implications of America's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, including possible Iranian responses and the shifting stance of the US towards regime change, and an analysis of the recent decline in secularization in Western countries, particularly among young people, attributing it to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and a changing cultural attitude towards religion. It also explores the decreasing use of inverted commas in contemporary literature and the strong emotions this stylistic choice evokes among language purists.
