As conflict unfurls across the Middle East, Asian countries -- U.S. friends and foes alike -- are watching carefully.

In this episode of The Diplomat’s Asia Geopolitics podcast, Ankit Panda (@nktpnd) and Katie Putz (@LadyPutz discuss the recent bombing of Iran by the U.S. and Israel, exploring the geopolitical tensions and the implications for Asia, touching on nuclear deterrence (or lack thereof), what lessons North Korea may walk away with, how China is viewing these developments, and a host of other angles.
