Zeteo's Coverage of the War on Iran – Context You Won't Find Elsewhere
ICYMI: A digest of some of our recent pieces, interviews, and analyses on the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran.
Dear Friends,
We know it’s hard to keep up with all the latest updates when it comes to the US-Israeli war on Iran. We also know it is frustrating to have to try and cover what’s happening in the Middle East via the mainstream media, with its biased headlines, softball interviews, and dehumanizing coverage of Arabs and Iranians. So below, to help out, we’ve listed some of our latest articles on the recent developments; Mehdi’s interviews with actual experts offering much-needed context; and some of Zeteo’s most widely-shared pieces since the start of this illegal conflict one week ago.
For those of you who are free subscribers to Zeteo and who have been appreciating our coverage, do consider upgrading to a paid subscription today, if you can. There is also the option of donating to us here.
Every financial contribution helps us commission another piece, cover another angle, and continue being a leading independent, truth-driven news outlet during this critical and consequential war.
Stay tuned for more coverage from us this week on Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and more.
