Donald Trump announced on Sunday that US forces have bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
The attack comes after weeks of speculation about whether the US will follow Israel into war with Iran, after claims that Iran has enriched enough material to fuel nuclear weapons.
In this emergency episode, Freddie Hayward speaks to the New Statesman’s columnist Lee Siegel, who explains that “it’s hard to see this as a successful one-off mission”. They explore what the move means for the Middle East, the US, and the world.
