What’s really happening in the Iran war…and why does it feel like we’ve seen this before?After a little over a month of war, a fragile ceasefire is now in place between the United States, Iran, and Israel. But the question isn’t just what happens next; it’s whether we’re repeating the same mistakes that led us here in the first place.In this two-part series, Imara Jones sits down with MS NOW’s Ayman Mohyeldin to break down the history, politics, and power dynamics between Iran and the United States. If you’ve been trying to make sense of the Iran war, the ceasefire, and the risk of a wider regional conflict, this conversation gives you the context you’re not hearing anywhere else.This week’s Trans Joy features Addye Susnick, an organizer, zine artist, and PhD candidate in political theory at the University of British Columbia.Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org.
