In this episode, we assess where the war with Iran stands at the six-week mark, examine whether Tehran is emerging stronger from the conflict, and consider where Donald Trump’s latest deadline could lead.

We also look at the murky story of the downed US pilot, Trump’s admission that Washington sent weapons to Iranian protesters, the wider regional risks for the Gulf states, the striking critique of American power by the doyen of neoconservatism Robert Kagan, and what Israel’s moves in Lebanon could mean for the next phase of the war.
