YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Lewis Goodall is joined by Sir William Patey, Former Head of the Middle East Department at the Foreign Office and Ex British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Also on the show is Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, to give her view on what's next for Iran from the UK government.

Protesters in Iran defied a government crackdown on Saturday night, taking to the streets despite reports suggesting hundreds of people have been killed or wounded by security forces in the past three days.

Iran's attorney general said anyone protesting would be considered an "enemy of God" - an offence that carries the death penalty.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Iran "very hard" if they "start killing people". Iran's parliament speaker warned that if the US attacks Iran, Israel and all US military and shipping bases in the region would be legitimate targets.
