What happened when Iran fired back?
World War 3 hasn鈥檛 happened鈥� yet.
After the US killed one of Iran鈥檚 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 大象传媒鈥檚 Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville, who has just returned from the Al Asad air base in Iraq, and the 大象传媒 Persian Service鈥檚 Rana Rahimpour join us to explain how Iran鈥檚 strike has had consequences they weren鈥檛 expecting.
