Donald Trump has reimposed the US’s naval blockade on Iran and,
for the third night in a row, launched a brutal five-hour blitz
hitting Iran’s coastal defences. In retaliation, the IRGC has
struck back, killing one and injuring several onboard two oil
supertankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeting critical
American assets in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and Roland
Oliphant run through the latest updates from the region as the
war escalates.

Plus, why hasn’t Israel rejoined the US war with Iran? Sima
Shine, former head of research and evaluation at Mossad and Iran
expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies,
explains why she thinks Donald Trump has put a break on Israeli
leader Benjamin Netanyahu participating in the latest round of
fighting.

She also discusses the explosive news about Israel’s Operation
Puss in Boots, a yearslong, multi-pronged effort to overthrow the
Iranian regime and install the most unlikely of candidates, arch
Israeli enemy former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
