As the US–Israeli war with Iran continues, we focus on the heavy toll it is taking on women and children across the Middle East. Scores of civilians have already been killed throughout the region, with Iranians accounting for the majority of the deaths. Many more have been injured, while millions have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. As in many conflicts, women and children are among those most severely affected. This week, Annette Young is joined by Jasmine El-Gamal, a former Pentagon adviser, and Tara Kangarlou, an Iranian-American journalist. Both talk about how male leaders on all sides ignore the human cost while the conflict spirals.
