Episode Notes:

Since the war with Iran began, Ukraine has seen an opportunity to expand its relationships with Middle Eastern countries, especially Gulf Arab states that were experiencing Iranian missile and drone strikes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently travelled to the region, offering Ukraine's expertise in defending against such attacks. Peter Dickinson joins the Warcast to help unpack these developments.
