Israel's long-awaited strikes on Iran [11] have targeted military and industrial installations [12] in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam, with air-strikes also reported [13] in the Syrian cities of Damascus and Homs. It is now Iran's turn to retaliate in the escalatory tit-for-tat game [14], as the brink of regional and even world war looms ever closer. In Episode 249 [15] of the CounterVortex podcast [16], Bill Weinberg advocates a neither/nor position [17] that rejects the militaristic and reactionary regimes of both Zionism and political Islam, and looks to a secular order in the Middle East.
