Iran has threatened to spread the war beyond the Middle East if
Donald Trump starts bombing the country again. Is it an empty
threat or should we be worried?

Jonathan Hackett, a former US Marine Corps interrogator and
special operations intelligence officer, joins the podcast again
to discuss the state of Iran’s military capabilities, their
Mosaic Doctrine and what next for the war with Venetia Rainey,
Sophia Yan and Roland Oliphant.

They also discuss reports today that the US wanted to install
former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Ali Khamenei’s place,
news of secret Israeli bases in the Iraqi desert, and the shady
Iran-linked group known as HAYI behind a series of attacks on
Jews in London.

Plus, as Vladimir Putin visits Xi Jinping in China, Sophia looks
at how the energy crisis caused by the war has boosted Moscow by
forcing the UK and US to drop sanctions on Russian oil, and
Venetia looks at JD Vance’s latest comments on peace deal
talks.
