Lebanon, Hormuz, and the Regional Fallout of the Iran War

from MBN Iran Podcast Briefing · host Andres Ilves

The MBN Iran Podcast reckons with diplomacy—and reality. Starting with Lebanon. For the first time in 30 years, Lebanese and Israeli officials sat in the same room. The meeting in Washington this week was the first step toward what would be a historic breakthrough. But there is a different story on the ground — where, even with the ceasefire in Iran, fighting continues, and people are being displaced. Leila, Matt and Andres  explore this gap. The stakes are even higher in the U.S. military and energy standoff with Iran. So are we at turning points or as so often in the Middle East more and possible bigger trouble ahead?
