We continue our conversation with investigative journalist Antonia Juhasz, who says the Iran war should be viewed as part of a larger fossil fuel agenda.

“Let’s remember that after Iraq, Iran was always next on the Bush administration’s agenda for war,” she says.

Juhasz also notes that military operations have “an enormous climate toll,” which is compounded during times of active conflict.

We are continuing our conversation with Agnès Callamard, the secretary general of Amnesty International. On Sunday, tens of thousands of women around the world marked International Women’s Day by demonstrating against gender-based violence and calling for an end to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

And today marks the opening of a major United Nations summit: the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. This all comes a week after Iraqi human rights defender and feminist advocate Yanar Mohammed was assassinated in Baghdad. She was killed in an attack on her home.
