The Telegraph’s defence, security and foreign affairs podcast covering the conflict in Iran

When an Iranian primary school was bombed on the first day of the
war, killing dozens of children instantly, it spawned a cycle of
denials, conspiracy theories and online speculation.

Nearly three weeks on, it’s clear that an American Tomahawk
missile was responsible for the deadliest attack of the conflict
so far. The Telegraph’s chief foreign affairs analyst Roland
Oliphant and OSINT expert Gareth Corfield join Venetia Rainey and
Arthur Scott-Geddes to go through all the evidence and explain
why it matters.

Plus: Israel is upping its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, with
strikes on central Beirut, troops invading from the south and
flyers invoking the threat of Gaza.

The Telegraph’s global health security editor Paul Nuki joins
from Beirut to discuss the latest news on what’s been targeted,
the displacement crisis and attempts at peace talks. He also
outlines three scenarios for how the war in Lebanon may unfold in
the weeks to come.
