Summary

JD Vance has returned to Islamabad for another attempt at ending the war with Iran, but expectations are low and talks may not even happen. Tensions have escalated after the US seized an Iranian cargo ship, prompting drone attacks on US vessels. This comes just days after President Trump claimed a major deal with Iran was already in place - a claim that now looks increasingly doubtful. At the same time, a war of words between Trump and the Pope has added a new dimension to the crisis. Religious rhetoric from US officials, along with Trump’s recent statements and imagery, has drawn criticism at home and abroad - including from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. As political divisions deepen and alliances strain, one thing is clear: there is nothing holy about this conflict. Piers Morgan is joined by Senator and former prime minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, senior minister and author of ‘No Such Thing As Bad Words’, Pastor Doug Wilson, author of The Left Hook on Substack, Wajahat Ali, commentator at The Bulwark, Tim Miller and Professor Mohammad Marandi of Tehran University to discuss.
