Summary
Guest: "Cyrus" , MENA researcherRecorded: March 12, 2026 Cyrus joins us to discuss why Hezbollah entered the war against Israel now, Lebanon politics, Syria under the former leader of Al Qaeda's branch, Iraq's pro-Iran militia groups, and more. (Beirut, along with the rest of Lebanon, is being bombed by Israel, so the connection is a bit spotty at times - nothing the mighty War Nerd Legion can't manage.)
