Why did the U.S. and Israel strike Iran?

Over the weekend, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, killing the regime’s Supreme Leader and other key military personnel. The strikes came after indirect nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran ended last week without a clear deal. In response to the joint attack, Iran has launched strikes across the Middle East. In today’s podcast, we’ll unpack the lead up to this weekend, what we know about the initial attack and what we can expect for the region.
