Is Donald Trump waiting until after the World Cup to restart the
war with Iran despite the largest attack on the Gulf since the
ceasefire began?

Violence erupted overnight in the Middle East after the US
attacked a ship heading to Iran and Tehran fired missiles and
drones at Kuwait and Bahrain. Roland Oliphant looks at the latest
news of clashes in the Persian Gulf and speaks to Maziar Bahari,
founder of Iran Wire, about why the war is unlikely to erupt
until after the World Cup.

One of Iran’s most experienced journalists until he was forced
into exile, Bahari’s English and Persian website has become an
invaluable source of reliable information for anyone interested
following the war. He explains why the Iranian regime is weaker
than most think and shares his experiences of being interrogated
by IRGC officials who rely on pornography to understand the
Western world.

Plus, global health security editor Paul Nuki explains why
Israelis can’t ignore Donald Trump’s explosive reported warning
to leader Benjamin Netanyahu that the world is starting to hate
his country due its military activity.
