This Week Explained breaks down the unprecedented Israeli offensive against Iran, dubbed 'Operation Rising Lion.' Explosions rocked Tehran as Israel targeted nuclear and missile sites, along with key military and scientific leadership, including the reported death of IRGC Commander Gen. Hossein Salami. This massive strike marks a dramatic escalation, pushing the long-simmering conflict into open confrontation. We analyze Israel's justification, the U.S.'s distancing stance, and the critical question: how will Iran retaliate after such a devastating blow to its leadership? A must-listen for understanding the rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East. Are you ready to understand the forces shaping tomorrow's headlines?
