Multiple justifications for the illegal war of aggression on Iran have been put forward by the US and Israel: from supporting Iranian protesters, to regime change, to preventing nuclear weapons, to reopening the Strait of Hormuz—a waterway that was already open prior to the war. Many of these talking points have been repeated by the NZ government.

So how do we separate fact from propaganda? And what myths are keeping us from clearly understanding this war? Join the panel for an up-to-date breakdown of the war that’s already reshaping our world, featuring Kyle Church (1/200), Gabriella Brayne (Anti-War Aotearoa), Dr Mahdis Azarmandi (Peace and Conflict Scholar), and Eugene Doyle (Geopolitical Writer and and host of solidarity.co.nz).

This webinar was streamed live at 7pm Thursday 30 April NZT on YouTube.
