About this episode
The episode discusses Israel's military response to Iran and related geopolitical concerns, along with media commentary and a Netflix recommendation.
Today we discuss Israel's retaliatory strikes on Iran and reports that Trump had instructed Netanyahu to not respond to the Iranian missile salvo. Was Israel's response indicative of a smoke screen or something more serious, and how does it relate to reports that the Pentagon is concerned about a rising espionage threat from Israel? Plus, Scott Pelley's post-firing media tour, and Seth recommends Legends on Netflix. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
