As we near one week since the start of Israeli and U.S. airstrikes on Iran, which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, we take stock of where the war stands. We’ll look at what comes next for Iran’s government and what we know about the U.S. and Israel’s strategy. And we’ll hear reactions from Iranians in the U.S. Do you have a connection to Iran? How are you processing this week of developments? Join us.
