This week’s Signal Hour discusses escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, reminiscent of the Iraq War, with ethical and legal concerns over Israel’s strikes on Iranian civilians and scientists.

It also covers unfulfilled political promises, the military-industrial complex’s role in conflicts, and the potential for catastrophic escalation, including nuclear threats.
