The US-Iran war has escalated significantly amid a second
consecutive night of heavy American strikes on Iran and a furious
response from Tehran.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and Sophia
Yan look at why for the first time since the ceasefire in April,
President Donald Trump ordered cruise missiles to attack a
critical railway bridge used to trade with Russia and China.

After Tehran responded with kamikaze drones and ballistic
missiles targeting US military assets across Kuwait, Qatar,
Bahrain, and Jordan, they ask what next for the peace
talks.

Plus, why the 2026 Nato summit's quiet winner is Turkey. Sophia
dives into the country’s exploding defence sector, its simmering
rivalry with Israel, and how it has gone from black sheep to core
member of Nato. And everything we know about the personalised
handgun Erdogan gave world leaders as a farewell gift.
