US Vice President JD Vance has said there will be an
investigation into a deadly strike on a wedding in southern Iran
after an American precision-guided glide bomb appears
increasingly likely to have been the culprit.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks to
former naval officer Bryan Clark about how accurate the bombs are
and what might have gone wrong. They also discuss the growing
strain on the US Navy by the Iran war following a record
deployment by the USS Abraham Lincoln and warnings from top
admirals that the blockade is depleting destroyers and leaving
Taiwan vulnerable to China. Bryan lays out what it will mean for
the US presence in the Middle East in the coming months as they
seek to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring down oil
prices.

Plus, why Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth is facing growing
calls to resign amid growing turmoil in the Pentagon, and how
Argentina’s Javier Milei is exploiting Donald Trump’s anger with
the UK to make moves on the Falklands.
