About this episode

Adam Conover and Reza Aslan discuss the complexities of the current war with Iran and its implications.

What are we doing in Iran? No, seriously. Why? Call it what you will, but we’ve just gone to war for seemingly no reason whatsoever. In a bonus episode, Adam invites past guest Reza Aslan back on the show to make sense of what’s happening, how this will affect the people of Iran, and what this means on the world stage. -- SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconover SEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/ SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on: » Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577 » Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJ About Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
