Special Edition – Iran Explained

In this special edition of Squiz Kids, Bryce hits pause on normal programming to explain the big news out of Iran.

Over the weekend, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, and Iran retaliated with its own attacks across parts of the Middle East. Leaders say the strikes were aimed at stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, and the biggest shock was the reported death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has ruled for decades in a strict religious system.

Bryce breaks down what all that means, what might happen next, and why it’s extra important to use your Newshounds “Stop, Think, Check” skills when misinformation spreads online.
