In today's episode, we analyze the intensifying US-Israel war on Iran, focusing on the destruction of Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and the International Energy Agency's historic proposal to release 400 million barrels of oil to stabilize global markets. We also examine a landmark United Nations inquiry formally accusing Russia of crimes against humanity regarding the systematic deportation of Ukrainian children. Our deep dives explore the comparative media framing of the divergent tactical objectives in the Middle East conflict, and the strategic narratives surrounding the UN's findings on Russia. Plus, a look at a 5,000-year-old superbug revived in Romania and the discovery of the world's oldest star map.
