The war in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah remains a major
sticking point in US-Iran peace talks - but Donald Trump has a
controversial solution.

At the G7 summit, he said he wants Syria to militarily intervene
in their neighbour and disarm the Iranian proxy by force. Sophia
Yan is joined by Ahmad Sharawi, senior research analyst at the
Foundation for Defense of Democracies to discuss why Damascus has
flatly rejected the plan. From the dark history of Syria’s
occupation of Lebanon to the potential for a proxy war between
Turkey and Israel, he outlines how such a move could seriously
backfire.

Plus, the latest news from the region including the row over Iran
letting in nuclear inspectors from the IAEA and US Secretary of
State Marco Rubio's high-stakes warnings on the Strait of Hormuz.
