Hello, I'm Oliver Conway from the Global News Podcast,
answering your questions on the Israel-Iran conflict and what it means for Iran and the wider region.
I'm joined by Behrang Tajdin of the BBC Persian Service and our security correspondent,
Frank Gardner.
The tectonic plates of power in the Middle East have shifted dramatically in the last year and a half in Israel's favour.
It has shown that it can penetrate all of Iran's air defences and strike when and where it wants.

Hello.
Now for the last few days, I've been teasing you with the new newscast marketing campaign,
which on social media involves a slightly awkward clip of me and Chris trying to explain what this podcast is in 10 seconds.
Well,
it turns out loads of newscasters are actually better at doing that than me and Chris are.
And we'll play you some of them today, starting with newscaster Sally.
Hi, Adam.
It's Sally in Boston, Massachusetts.
Here's my 10 seconds.
A snuggery of unbiased journalists who's inquiring and comprehensive conversations you are invited to join.
Pull up a chair.
Love the show.
