The Iranians supporting the strikes

from As It Happens

We'll speak with an Iranian-Canadian who stands firmly behind the U.S and Israeli attacks on Iran -- saying he believes they're the only real hope for regime change.Donald Trump continues to suggest that Iran may be to blame for the strike on an Iranian elementary school that killed scores of children -- but a very different story is emerging.A para hockey player tells us about her journey to try and make the technically co-ed Canadian Paralympic hockey team -- which, at least for now, is really just a men's team. UNESCO has already recognized Dublin as a "city of literature," but an Irish arts organization thinks it's only right that an area farther north in the borderlands be named the world's first UNESCO literary region. We catch up with the Finnish couple that placed first in the UK's Wife Carrying Race -- and they attempt to convey how one of them conveyed the other. The centuries-old coat of arms of a Swiss canton features a black bear with visible genitalia -- and despite a parliamentarian's request, the local government won't be tucking it away.As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that supposes it's a package deal.
