The conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran has persisted for six months. This ongoing war raises the question: Is any side truly emerging victorious?
On this significant milestone, Mary Louise Kelly, the podcast host, engages in a discussion with NPR’s National Security Correspondent Greg Myre. Joining them are International Correspondents Daniel Estrin from Tel Aviv and Hadeel Al-Shalchi from Istanbul. Together, they analyze the current status of the war, examining its economic, diplomatic, and military dimensions. They explore who might be gaining advantages in the ongoing conflict.
Iran’s recent response to a U.S. threat to launch a formidable financial assault was marked by defiance. It described the warning as an acknowledgment of military failure, cautioning countries against supporting Washington’s stance. This reaction reflects the complex interplay of power and resistance that characterizes the ongoing tensions.
