Episode description

The fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States is facing a new test. Iran's revolutionary guard is warning it has a "legitimate" right to respond, after US forces carried out what they called self-defense strikes on Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz. And the regional situation is growing even more volatile. Israel has launched fresh strikes in Lebanon, signaling a more aggressive posture against Hezbollah, as the Trump administration indicates continued support. Beth Sanner, a former US Deputy Director of National Intelligence, joins Bianna Golodryga to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases; Heather Kerr, DRC Country Director, International Rescue Committee; Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
