Summary
Defence Secretary John Healey joins Trevor on the show this week for the Government's reaction to a new wave of conflict in the Middle East after America and Israel launched strikes at Iran. Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel is also on the show for the Conservatives' view of the escalation.
And what comes next for the people of Iran after the death of their Supreme Leader, we hear from Iranian activist Fariba Hachtroudi. As well as the former Director General of the Royal United Services Institute, Karin Lisa von Hippel about the wider implications for the world.
Our panel this week to digest all of this is Lionel Shriver, Stephanie Flanders, and John Sopel.
