27:39Now PlayingAs the US-Israeli strikes on Iran continue and the death toll continues to rise, so too does the war of words. So how will the war end and will the US negotiate with Iran?
US President Trump described Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's choice for new supreme leader, as "unacceptable". He also said he believes the war will be over “pretty quickly”, but it’s not clear how - or when.
Nate Swanson, a former State Department official who spent nearly two decades in the US government working on American policy towards Iran, answers our questions on how the next stage of the conflict is likely to unfold - and whether a negotiated peace with Iran is still an option.
