Donald Trump has U-turned on a 14-day campaign of military
strikes on Iran, which he claimed would have been the biggest
attack since World War II in favor of restarting peace talks.
Tehran insists no negotiations with the US are taking place.

Meanwhile, an intelligence breach reveals Centcom is actively
seeking "unconventional" ways to pressure Iran, while fresh
missile attacks and radio threats near Oman continue to disrupt
critical shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

On today's episode of Iran: The Latest, Venetia Rainey and Roland
Oliphant discuss the news, the rinse-and-repeat cyclical nature
of the war and why Saudi Arabia is becoming increasingly vocal
and involved. Plus, new polling showing American public support
for the war dropping to record lows, the Shia festival of Arbaeen
in Iraq and how climate change is affecting the region.

Highlights

Trump cancels ‘biggest strike since WW2’ on Iran, but Tehran
denies peace talks

Leaked Centcom emails expose US military running out of ways
to punish Tehran
