The Israel-Iran conflict: causes, impact on global politics, and prospects for escalation.
- What triggered the current escalation between Israel and Iran? Why are Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure considered a point of no return?
- What are the US interests in this conflict? Could a potential protracted war between Iran and Israel change Washington's global priorities?
- How will the development of the conflict affect the situation in Ukraine - and could this weaken the attention and support of the West?
- How might Russia's role change in the event of a protracted war in the Middle East? Is Moscow really capable of playing the role of a mediator, and how will this affect its relations with the US?
- What consequences might the conflict have for Belarus and Eastern Europe? Why is Minsk suddenly in China's zone of interest - and could this affect its relations with the EU?
- Who and how might emerge victorious from this conflict - and what might "victory" in such a war even look like?
The episode is co-hosted by Dzianis Melyantsou and Alisiya Ivanova.
