How one month of war in Iran is felt in countries around the region

It’s been a month since the U.S. and Israel began the war on Iran. President Trump pointed to what he said has been progress in talks when he extended his deadline for Iran to open up the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping channel. He has threated to destroy Iran’s energy facilities if ships aren’t allowed to pass.Meanwhile attacks continue in Iran, Israel, Gulf States and Lebanon. Israel’s Defense Minister vowed to intensify strikes against Iran… while Iran’s Ambassador to the UN accused the U.S. and Israel of deliberately targeting civilians. In today’s episode, we look at a month of this war, by hearing from the people experiencing it. We meet weary Iranians, fearful Israelis, shaken residents of what was a safe haven in the Gulf, and Lebanese citizens enduring massive displacement. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
