Iran’s weekend attack on Israel has generated a host of careful statements and warnings from world leaders facing considerable pressure both internally and externally. The result is a dangerous game with the ever-present specter of World War III looming in the background.

On today’s episode of The Spectacle podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss the impact the attack could have on the war in Israel and talk about the blindness of the Western world under assault.

Tune in to hear their analysis!
