US strikes at Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’

As the United States carries out airstrikes in retaliation for a deadly attack on its forces in Jordan, we examine who is in Iran’s regional network of ‘resistance groups’.

Also on the programme: We speak to human rights activists in Yemen who say the war in Gaza has given the Houthis a justification to crack down harder on their critics at home; and the ‘atmospheric rivers’ causing meteorological chaos in North America.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Joana Cook, Assistant Professor of Terrorism and Political Violence at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs at Leiden University, and British author and journalist David Patrikarakos.
