Show Notes
An American journalist, Shelly Kittleson, was kidnapped in Baghdad by an Iranian-backed militia, escalating tensions in the Middle East. U.S. and Iraqi officials had warned her of threats, leading to a U.S. embassy advisory for Americans to leave Iraq. The militia, Kataib Hezbollah, is linked to Irans Revolutionary Guard, which has grown stronger under the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. Kittleson is likely being held as a bargaining chip, and Iraqi forces are searching for the suspects. The situation is tense as Iraq balances its relationships with the U.S. and Iran.
