Iran: Attacks on Lebanon are 'grave violation'

Podcast cover

Global News Podcast

Tensions in the Middle East dominate this news podcast, focusing on the fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel and the potential for renewed conflict. The Iranian president insists that negotiations with the U.S. are pointless if Israel continues attacking Lebanon, while Israel pledges to strike Hezbollah targets. The discussion turns to the impact of the conflict on global energy supplies, with the U.S. increasing oil imports from Venezuela. Meanwhile, Argentina's new law threatens glacier protection, potentially endangering crucial water sources due to mining activities. Also featured is an interview with the wife of astronaut Jeremy Hansen, as the Artemis II mission prepares to return to Earth. Finally, a 300-million-year-old fossil, previously identified as an octopus, is reclassified as a nautilus.
