Episode Details

Hours after a temporary ceasefire deal between the US and Iran was announced last week, Israel unleashed a massive, deadly bombing campaign on Lebanon. In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with award-winning Iranian-Canadian journalist Samira Mohyeddin about the reality that Israel is a rogue state intent on pursuing more war, not diplomacy or peace, and that the US-Israeli war on Iran was never about nuclear threats but about weakening Iran’s economic and regional power—at devastating costs to civilians.

• Samira Mohyeddin is an award winning producer and broadcaster based in Toronto. For nearly a decade, she was a producer and host at Canada’s National Broadcaster, CBC Radio. Mohyeddin is the founder of On The Line Mediaand she was the 2024 - 2025 journalism fellow at the Women and Gender Studies Institute at the University of Toronto
