World taking the rap for US warmongering

This episide examines the global economic and social fallout of the US-Israeli war on Iran and the question of accountability for Washington’s decisions.

The war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran is sending shock waves far beyond West Asia, driving up oil prices, threatening vital shipping routes and bringing critical internet infrastructure into the widening conflict.

From energy-dependent economies to ordinary households, countries that had no role in starting this war are being forced to bear its consequences. History offers a stark reminder: from Iraq to Afghanistan, US-led military interventions have left behind devastating and far-reaching consequences long after the initial campaigns ended.

So who pays the price for Washington’s decisions, and who is held accountable when the fallout spreads across the world? That’s the focus of this edition of Spotlight.
