This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Middle East Eye’s Editor in Chief David Hearst to talk about the rapidly unfolding war between Israel and Iran, why the West supports it and what it threatens to unleash on the global order.

So what does Israel really want to achieve, what options does Iran have to deescalate, and will the United States stop the war, or join it?
