About this episode

The episode discusses Iran's internal crisis and its implications for the Middle East amidst ongoing missile attacks on Israel.

While missiles rained down on Israel, a far bigger story was unfolding behind the headlines and it could reshape the future of the entire Middle East. In this episode of The Quad, you'll learn how renewed Iranian attacks, Hezbollah's role in Lebanon, growing anti-regime protests inside Iran and the geopolitical calculations of President Trump and PM Netanyahu may all be connected. Featuring exclusive insights from Iranian activist Lily Moo, the panel explores what ordinary Iranians are saying behind internet blackouts and whether the Islamic Republic is facing its most vulnerable moment in decades.
