    Iran Renews Vow to Avenge Syria After Israeli Attack

    An airstrike was carried out by Israeli forces on Iran's Embassy in Syria’s capital city: Damascus. It’s been reported that three senior commanders and four officers, who were part of overseeing covert operations in the Middle East, were killed in the strike. This has brought the continually increasing tensions throughout the Middle East and long-standing conflicts to light as Israeli forces maintain their presence in Gaza and more states in the region become involved in the conflict. This brings us to our own questions of how did we get here, and where we may be heading next?   This episode was brought to you thanks to Executive Producer Bobby Kile, Associate Producers Kasia Kostraba and Juliana Mori, Host Trisha Ballion, and Technical Producers Ashley Skladany and Amelia Wysoczanski.
