What happened when Iran fired back?
World War 3 hasn’t happened… yet.
After the US killed one of Iran’s senior generals in a drone strike some people were worried we were on the brink of World War 3. Iran threatened revenge, and fired on a US air base in Iraq. But in doing so it made a colossal mistake, downing a commercial aircraft and killing the 176 passengers and crew on board.
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville, who has just returned from the Al Asad air base in Iraq, and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Persian Service’s Rana Rahimpour join us to explain how Iran’s strike has had consequences they weren’t expecting.
