This Week Around the World – June 13, 2025 Edition

This episode explores key global events that unfolded between June 9 and 13, 2025. Tensions escalated in the Middle East as Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict and triggering an immediate spike in oil prices. Tragedy struck in India with the crash of an Air India Boeing 787 in Ahmedabad, resulting in the loss of over 240 lives and prompting an international investigation. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a formal rebuke of Iran’s nuclear activities, which Tehran responded to by announcing the development of a new enrichment site. On the political front, the week also saw developments across several countries: a corruption scandal shook Spain, mass protests erupted in Hungary against the ruling government, and a former president in Argentina had their corruption conviction upheld. These events reflect ongoing struggles with governance and rising public unrest across different regions.
