Thousands of US Marines and sailors are heading towards Iran -
does this mean boots on the ground?

Venetia Rainey is joined by Reuters global defence commentator
Peter Apps to discuss the war three weeks in, how to open the
Strait of Hormuz and whether as part of it, Trump will order
troops to take Kharg Island.

They also discuss whether this counts as a world war and why this
conflict is likely deterring China from taking Taiwan by force
for at least another few years.

Plus, how is Iran still able to inflict so much damage on its
neighbours? University of Oslo missiles expert Fabian Hoffman
explains why Iran’s launchers may run out before its missiles do
and how much longer interceptor stocks in the Gulf and Israel
could last.
