A major turning point in the Israel-Iran conflict
Israel and Iran have been exchanging attacks since Friday, leaving more than 20 dead in Israel and more than 200 dead in Iran. Could this become a war? And will the U.S. get involved?
Israel launched attacks on Iran last week. Iran quickly retaliated. The fighting has left many feeling both fearful and hopeful. Now, it is unclear whether this escalation in a long-simmering conflict could turn into a wider war.
Elahe Izadi speaks with Post reporter Yeganeh Torbati about why Israel chose this moment to launch strikes against Iran, whether Iran’s government could fall, and whether the U.S. and President Donald Trump will get involved.
