Special Report: Understanding the Conflict with Iran (PLUS a Listener Q&A)

The conflict between the United States and Iran has escalated over the past year, with the United States launching its most recent strikes against Iran on February 28th. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we walk through the full timeline of events leading up to the latest U.S. strikes, including the collapse of nuclear negotiations, the 2025 attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, and the renewed wave of strikes in early 2026. We also break down the bigger picture behind the conflict, including Iran’s nuclear program and the history of the 2015 nuclear deal, why preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons has bipartisan support in the U.S., how discussions of regime change fit into the broader strategy, and how the 1979 Iranian Revolution reshaped relations between the United States and Iran. Finally, we answer some of the biggest questions listeners have asked: What are the main arguments for and against U.S. involvement? How likely is regime change in Iran? Could these strikes be unconstitutional or illegal under international law? And what’s the difference between declaring war and what’s happening now?
