Israel Vows Retaliation Against Iran for Retaliation

The Backstory

The show begins with activist and podcast host Misty Winston addressing the arrest of a US journalist by Israel for reporting on alleged Iranian missile strikes.

Then, Julia Kassem, geopolitical analyst and commentator, provides an in-depth analysis of the recent Israeli strikes on residential buildings in central Beirut, which have left at least 22 people dead. She examines the international community’s response as Israel also fired at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

The second hour starts with human rights, labor rights lawyer, and peace activist Dan Kovalik delving into the growing alignment between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on a potential attack on Iran. He explores recent conversations between Biden, Vice President Harris, and Netanyahu regarding military actions against Iran, along with the Israeli Defense Minister's warning that any strike would be “lethal” and “surprising.”

The show closes with Koffi Kouakou, an African affairs analyst, discussing Angola’s strategic role amid tensions between China and the US. He also covers West Africa’s rise as a terrorism hotspot, Niger’s devastating floods, Russia’s satellite deal with military governments, and claims of Kiev training Mali militants.
