How is the Iran War Rattling the World? | The Rundown

Описание: According to US defense secretary Pete Hegseth, the war with Iran is a great success. "Every tool of AI, of cyber, of space," he said, "you name it - we're employing it. Blinding, confusing, and deceiving our enemy." But there are serious questions about how the US and Israel are conducting this war. Last month, for example, 175 people - most of them children - were killed at an elementary school. An initial inquiry found the U.S. was responsible. Are advanced tools like AI making accountability harder to pin down? And what kind of effects could this conflict have on Gaza, Russia and beyond?
