U.S. military strikes Iran: How did we get here?

On today's show...

President Donald Trump launched missile strikes at three nuclear sites in Iran this weekend. We ask Timothy Schorn, Ph.D., how we got here and whether the attacks broke international law.

Schorn is the coordinator of international studies and a professor of political science at the University of South Dakota (1:00 to 17:33).

Our Dakota Political Junkies unpack the latest national political headlines. And they discuss what happens when there are too many headlines to keep straight (17:33 to 43:00).

Jon Hunter is publisher emeritus of the Madison Daily Leader and a member of the South Dakota Newspaper Hall of Fame. Michael Card, Ph.D., is a professor emeritus of political science at USD.

Plus, SDPB's Lori Walsh heads to the local farmers' market to get a local look at the impacts of federal agriculture policy (43:00 to 48:58).

We hear from:

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of "In the Moment."
Ellen Koester is a producer of In the Moment, SDPB's daily news and culture broadcast.
Ari Jungemann is a producer of In the Moment, SDPB's daily news and culture broadcast.
