With missiles streaking across Middle Eastern skies and the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader sending shockwaves through the region, Aimen joins Thomas from a Dubai under fire to unpack a historic turning point.
They discuss:
- Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile strikes across the GCC and Israel
- Life under bombardment in Dubai and the regional military response
- The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei and what it means for Iran’s future
- Whether this war marks the death of the 1979 Islamic Revolution
- The internal dynamics of the Iranian regime at this critical moment
- The United States’ strategic calculus and the question of escalation
