As the latest round of the war enters its 11th day, US President
Donald Trump has signalled the US could strike Iran's hardened
Pickaxe Mountain underground nuclear facility where Israel claims
centrifuges are being hidden.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and
Telegraph journalist Sophie O’Sullivan look at the news that
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has admitted US war costs have
reached $37bn, a landmark US nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, and
the Houthis’ blockade on Saudi Arabia claiming its first victims.
Is this the new Strait of Hormuz?

Plus, Iranian journalist Tara Kangarlou on an explosive interview
by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi that revealed critical
internal security breaches and deep US and Israeli intelligence
infiltration inside the regime. They discuss how Trump’s strikes
are smashing critical civilian infrastructure, why a brutal wave
of political executions could accelerate, and how the economy is
in meltdown.
