We revisit the turbulent first days of the war as they unfolded on national TV, from the death of Ayatollah Khamenei to the surprise apology by President Pezeshkian and the announcement of a new Supreme Leader.

Iranian #Kurdish militias have reportedly been consulting with the #US in recent days about whether, and how, to attack Iranian security forces. A coalition of groups based on the Iran-Iraq border in the semi-autonomous region of Iraqi #Kurdistan has been training to mount such an attack in hopes of weakening the regime. We speak with former ambassador Peter Galbraith, who previously acted as an advisor to the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq.
