Is the Iran Conflict Slipping Beyond Control?

As tensions sharpen between Iran, Israel and the United States, Redi Tlhabi and veteran journalist Phillip van Niekerk unpack the strikes, the denials and the shifting nuclear narrative. From the collapse of the Obama-era deal dismantled by Donald Trump to the long-running warnings of Benjamin Netanyahu, they examine how we arrived at this moment and whether bombing a nation can ever be sold as liberation.
