In this episode of The Source, our founder and supporting editor Zain Raza speaks with former U.S. Army Colonel and former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson, about the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran and the rapidly escalating regional consequences.

They explore the motivations behind the war, the military capacities of the actors involved, and whether the United States and Israel can realistically emerge victorious from such a confrontation. The conversation also examines how Western governments, including Germany, are responding to the conflict and what the war could mean for the future of the international order.
