We have quite a show for you this evening because for the whole hour, I'm joined by Abby Martin.

Now, Abby needs no introduction. I know she's often mentioned in the comments as someone we should get on.

I'm journalist, filmmaker, founder of the Empire Files, and you've got a new film out.

We're going to be talking about Abby's film in the second part of the show.

Before that, we'll be discussing Iran and Lebanon.

It looks more professional on this side of the camera.

That's probably fair to say.

You know, we're a shabby organization, but we do try hard.

If you want to support us, you know what to do. Navaralmedia.com forward slash support.

Let's go straight into our first story. You can guess what it's about.

We are entering week five of Israel and the United States war on Iran. And the death toll

inside Iran keeps rising. Over 2,000 Iranians have now been

killed, 200 of them children. And according to the Iranian Red Crescent, more than 100,000 civilian

buildings have been damaged or destroyed. This is horrific, but it's part of the course when it

comes to Israel and American actions in the Middle East. What's perhaps been more of a surprise, to many people at least, is the continuing ability

of Iran to strike back.
