In this episode, we break down what really happened during the so-called "12-Day War" between Israel, the U.S., and Iran — and why it's not about nuclear weapons.

Dr. Assal Rad joins us to speak on the role Israel's need for regional instability, and how Western media coverage obscures the bigger picture: the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupation at the heart of every crisis in the region.

Because, as Dr. Rad reminds us, nothing in the region will be resolved until Palestinians are free.
