US-Israel war on Iran: The big questions answered | The Global Story

What is happening in Iran and what might happen next?  Since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, The Global Story listeners have been contacting us with questions: about the causes of the war, the legality of it, and how other countries are responding? As Gulf states get drawn further into the conflict, might they send military reinforcement? And if the Iranian regime were to fall, could islamist groups such as ISIS seize an opportunity to claim more power? In today’s episode, we answer all of these and more, with BBC world affairs editor, John Simpson. New episodes of The Global Story are released daily. If you’re in the UK, listen on BBC Sounds.
