As this new round of war enters its 13th day, US President Donald
Trump has signalled he is close to deciding whether to launch a
"massive attack" on Iran. The IRGC has declared that UK bases
including RAF Fairford are legitimate targets, accusing new Prime
Minister Andy Burnham of aiding US heavy B-1 bomber strikes.

On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey is joined
by chief Washington correspondent Connor Stringer and acting US
news editor Lottie Tiplady-Bishop to break down the White House's
military strategy, the political rift tearing through the
Republican’s MAGA base, and how the war has led to dwindling
missile stockpiles, war cash, and strategic oil reserves.

Plus, Trump linking Israeli normalisation to the US-Saudi nuclear
deal, why new British foreign secretary Ed Miliband is not
popular in the White House, and the news of fresh US tariffs on
the UK, Europe and other countries.
