YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump has ordered Israel and Iran to 'immediately stop 'shooting' after missile strikes shook both nations overnight.
Shelagh Fogarty is joined by Kasra Aarabi, the director of IRGC research at United Against Nuclear Iran. He specialises in Iranian military and security affairs and Shia extremism.
Previously, Aarabi was the Iran Program lead at the Tony Blair Institute.
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer said it was 'really important that all parties get back to a ceasefire' in the Middle East after Iran and Israel exchanged missile attacks and air strikes.
The warning from Trump came after Israel launched 'retaliatory' air strikes against Iran early on Monday, despite earlier calls for restraint from US President Donald Trump and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.
