Welcome to the Socialists program.

This is John Prysner, a producer of this show.

Today's episode is our In the News segment,

normally available only to patrons, but today being made available to all

because of the gravity of the situation surrounding Israel's attack on Iran.

If you enjoy this show, we still invite you to help keep it on the air by subscribing

at patreon.com slash the socialist program.

The Israeli government with the full support of Donald Trump and the White House has launched

a war against Iran and the people of Iran, posing the

danger of a wider regional war that could lead to a global confrontation unlike any war that

we have seen since the end of World War II.

I'm Leanne Seema Fullahan, here with Brian Becker, and this is in the news, a segment of the

Socialist Program.

We want to thank all of our patrons for keeping this show on the air. We couldn't do it without your

support. If you're not yet a patron, you can become one today at patreon.com forward slash the socialist

program. We can't do this show without you. We can only do it with you.

Leanne, this is a moment in which the Israeli government, the regime in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu,

but the entire Israeli military apparatus with the support, as you mentioned in the introduction

of Donald Trump, has launched a major war.

This is not a small war, a major war, an unprovoked war, an illegal war, a criminal war,

a war that violates, obviously, the U.N. charter against the people of Iran.

And it was a sneak attack.
