Conflicts escalate in the Middle East; school vaccine mandates; Pony Express

More from this show

On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” we’ll discuss the recent airstrikes in Iran, which have killed its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and members of his cabinet.

Also, we will discuss the possible end to school vaccine and health mandates, which may appear on upcoming ballots. Many supporters clarified that they are not against vaccines necessarily but instead oppose mandates. Opponents claim this could confuse parents who may not realize the consequences.

Finally, we will hear about the 3rd annual Roots N’ Boots Queen Creek Pony Express Ride, which will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, transporting mail from Kearny, Arizona, to Queen Creek, Arizona.
