Israel and the United States have launched another attack on Iran, dramatically escalating tensions across the Middle East and raising serious questions about international law, global stability and the credibility of the so-called rules-based international order. In this episode, we examine the latest developments in the Israel–Iran conflict, including the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel and US military bases across Western Asia. We also analyse the legal and political implications of the attack, Australia’s response under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and the broader strategic context – from the legacy of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and Donald Trump’s “peace through war” rhetoric to ongoing calls for regime change in Tehran. We discuss why military analysts consider Iran one of the most difficult countries in the world to invade, and what Australia’s alliance with the United States and Israel means as the Middle East crisis deepens.
