***I was invited by the good people at Resistance is Fertile to talk about 12-day-war. **

In this episode, Sacha and Benji welcome Sina Rahmani to analyze the recent 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel. They discuss the implications of the attacks, the psychological impact on both nations, and the broader geopolitical stakes involving external actors like China and Pakistan. The conversation delves into the strengths and weaknesses revealed on both sides, the significance of Iran's capacity to retaliate, and the ongoing narrative wars shaping public perception. Tune in for an in-depth exploration of this complex and evolving situation.
