Episode Details

A U.N.-backed fact-finding mission led by jurist Sara Hossain has found reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes during the conflict in Iran. The findings center on two February 28th strikes: one hitting a school in Minab that reportedly killed 168 people, and another in Lamerd using tungsten pellets in a residential zone. Simultaneously, the report accuses Tehran of crimes against humanity for the systematic repression of its own people. Domestically, a year-long assessment of the Trump administration's Medicaid drug pricing deal shows a program struggling with transparency and voluntary participation from giants like Pfizer and Eli Lilly. While the administration promised 'most favored nation' pricing, the reality is a limited pilot program with uncertain state adoption.
