Ten Minutes On... Israel and Iran
What's going on between Israel and Iran? On Saturday Iran launched a massive missile and drone strike against Israel. Almost none of them got through the assorted air defences. But what prompted Iran to do this and what was the wider context in which this happened? What are Israel's options and why are they flawed? In slightly more than 10 minutes (!), Guy Burton highlights the risks associated with Israeli retaliation as well as the failure to consider more moral and humane responses to the growing crisis in the Middle East region.
