On Iran and its Axis of Resistance.

Historian Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi talks to Alex about the leadup and aftermath of the so-called "12-Day War between Iran and Israel and the US.

  • Hamas and Hezbollah have been humbled, Assad is gone from Syria – how weakened is Iran?

  • Did the 12-Day War actually happen? What prevented it becoming a wider war?

  • What is the meaning of Israel's maximalist aims of regime change and regional dominance?

  • Why is Iran now leaning into Iranian nationalism, even using pre-revolutionary symbols?

  • Is a nuclear Iran now inevitable? What lessons will it draw?

  • How has the region been reconfigured over the past two years? What about Saudi and the Gulf states?
