About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and Iran's geopolitical stance amidst the war.

This week's episode is a collaboration with The Colony Archive and The Adnan Husain Show . As Roqayah continues to report from the front lines of Israel's assault on south Lebanon, Kumars is joined by returning guest Navid Zarrinnal and debutante Adnan Husain. The gang discusses President Masoud Pezeskhian's letter to Americans, Javad Zarif's ceasefire proposal in Foreign Affairs , the Iranian government's response to the mass displacement caused by US-Israeli bombing, the history of Western opposition to Iranian development, relations between the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan, whether the war will ultimately push the Gulf states out of the imperialist orbit, and what it could mean for Iran to become a global power.
