This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast.

Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand

new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes.

Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the

biology of taunons and wampas

on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith rule of two.

Listen to stuff to blow your mind on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts.

Anyway, Trita Parsi is going to join us to let us know as best we can tell where we

are this morning, where things are likely to be headed, what the Iranians position is at this point.

We're also going to take a look at the way the Gulf Arab countries are reacting.

They are in crisis, increasingly divided.

Spirit Airlines is dead,

competing claims there about what exactly happened. Israel is applying the Gaza model to Lebanon.
