On Monday, Iran took responsibility for a series of missiles that exploded near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq — missiles that had allegedly been intended to take out “headquarters of spies” and “anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region.”

On today’s episode of The Spectacle podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay comment on the instability in the Middle East and discuss President Joe Biden’s weak response to provocations in the region. They talk about the dangerous and costly Houthi attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea and discuss Taiwan’s recent elections, which could have China backed into a corner.
