 Why is Hungary's election of such international importance?

The bombing of Iran has stopped, but the bombing of Lebanon has not. Even as Iran and the US say they'll try to work out their many differences at the negotiating table in Pakistan, Israel is busy ramping up its attacks on what it says are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The group has been a key player in Iran's axis of resistance for decades. So how far is Tehran willing to go to protect its allies?

In this episode: 
Hassan Ahmadian, Associate Professor at the University of Tehran
Rob Geist Pinfold, Lecturer in International Security at King's College London
Nadim Houry, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative
