Iran has been in the news throughout 2024:

This podcast looks at the history of Iran, its foreign policies, and what Western leaders are doing about Iran's drive to attain nuclear weapons. In particular, John Bolton's comments are covered at length because he is one of the few Western leaders advocating for more than just sanctions. (John Bolton was the US National Security Advisor under the Trump administration, from 2018-2019).
