Iranians have been on edge, waiting for retaliation ever since Tehran attacked Israel with waves of ballistic missiles. Officials in Israel have hinted they might target Iran’s gas or oil infrastructure. Or they might go even further. We’ll hear how Iranians are viewing the standoff. Also, Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, garnered votes by promising to fix his country’s economy. But since he took office in December, the poverty rate has increased. He says it’s just a rough patch; critics aren’t so sure. And, hear about the musical collaboration behind a new Afrobeat album called “Lagos Paris London.”
