Is this the start of a new phase in the US-Iran war?

Following another night of US strikes on Iran and Tehran
responding by hitting its Gulf neighbours, Donald Trump has today
vowed to ramp things up even further tonight. Roland Oliphant
discusses the latest news with chief foreign affairs commentator
David Blair, and asks whether Trump can bomb his way out of the
deadlock.

Plus, for the first time ever, the World Cup 2026 will see a
nation host a team it's currently at war with. As the competition
kicks off, sports news reporter Tom Morgan joins Roland Oliphant
from Mexico to discuss the strength of each side's teams, the
politics behind the visa and ticketing rows, and how Iran and USA
could even face one another on the pitch.
