The major war has been raging in the Middle East since the end of February. The United States and Israel attacked Iran, and in response they began firing at other countries in the region. On the first day, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli raid, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was elected as Iran’s new supreme leader on March 8. Western media reports that the United States is planning to launch a special forces raid on Iran to seize half a ton of uranium, enough to make dozens of nuclear bombs. At the same time, the war sent oil prices soaring, rising to $120 a barrel for the first time in four years.
What happens on the tenth day of the war? What is the status of the Iranian regime? What are the goals of the United States and Israel now? We discuss these and many other questions about the new war live March 10 at 20:00 Moscow time – watch the broadcast on Meduza’s YouTube channel.
