From KQED.

Welcome to Forum. I'm Mina Kim. For many Iranians living in California and across the U.S., the Israeli-American

war on Iran has also meant constant worry over loved ones living in the country. More than a

thousand people have been killed in the Middle East since the attacks began, and most of the

deaths have been in Iran, including a strike on a girls' school that left 175 dead.

Six U.S. soldiers have also been killed in Kuwait, with the Washington Post reporting today that Russia is providing Iran with targeting intelligence to attack U.S. forces, adding a new dimension to the widening conflict.

Listeners, how have you been affected by the war? Do you have loved

ones in Iran? What are your hopes and fears for what this fighting will bring? You can tell us by calling

866-733-6786, emailing forum at k-QED.org or finding us on Discord, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram,

or threads. And joining us, Arash Azizi, Facebook, Instagram, or threads.

And joining us, Arash Azizi, a contributing writer to the Atlantic lecturer at Yale,

and author of What Iranians Want, Women, Life, Freedom.

Also with us, Sina Tusi, Senior Resident Fellow at the Center for International Policy.
