Did America and Israel just ramp up the war in the Middle East?

Did America and Israel just ramp up the war in the Middle East?

Is Israel about to occupy Lebanon? Why is Donald Trump sending more troops to the Middle East? And what is it actually like reporting from an active war zone?

Yalda and Richard discuss the latest developments in Iran and what the killing of the country's security chief Ali Larijani could mean for any peace process.

They assess the reaction of the Gulf states to the war and look at how possibly putting troops on the ground could affect the conflict.

Meanwhile, Israel says its forces have begun “limited and targeted” ground operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. What’s the justification? The pair examine the possible reason and talk about when they were both there in 2024.

The two of them will answer listeners' questions, so write to them at theworld@sky.uk
