Special guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain takes the helm for this week’s Sunday Wire as we examine the aftermath of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the funeral processions honoring Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and whether the current ceasefire represents peace—or merely a pause before another round of conflict.

Featuring Adam “Ruckus” Clark and Basil Valentine.
