About the episode

US-Israeli aerial strikes have hit oil depots in Tehran, causing thick black smoke to blanket the Iranian capital and creating hazardous conditions for residents. Israel has issued new evacuation warnings in Lebanon as the death toll approaches 400, while Iran has launched waves of drones and missiles across Gulf nations including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, breaking its pledge not to attack neighbours. Australia is considering requests from Gulf countries for assistance in combating Iranian missiles and drones, with the federal government ordering the departure of dependents of Australian officials from the UAE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
