Ashamed to Admit hosts Tami Sussman and Dashiel Lawrence

Published: 20 June 2025

Last updated: 23 June 2025

In a special episode of our Ashamed to Admit podcast we examine the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.

Iran expert Kylie Moore-Gilbert, a former detainee of the IRGC, shares her insights on how the Iranian regime is responding to what may be its greatest challenge to power since the 1979 revolution.

Gideon Cohen and Hannah Moshinsky, two young Australians currently in Israel, bring listeners firsthand accounts from the ground.
