In this episode of The Source, our senior editor Zain Raza speaks with retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson about the latest U.S.-Iran escalation and the question now hanging over the region: are we watching another limited exchange, or the beginning of a much wider war?

From U.S. strikes and Iranian retaliation to Israel’s role, the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear negotiations, Wilkerson breaks down what may really be driving the conflict — and why the official explanations may not tell the full story.
