In this week's episode, Christiane and Jamie look at the unintended consequences of Trump's Iran War, and the damage the conflict is doing to the world order and global economy. Christiane questions whether Trump and his team had any understanding of the nature of the Iranian regime before starting this war - and whether the President has any clear plan for how it will end. They discuss the knock-on effect the war is having on countries like Russia & China, and explain why the ongoing conflict is a 'mixed bag' for the likes of Presidents Putin & Xi. Christiane also has an update on the airstrike which killed over 100 Iranian schoolgirls at the start of the war, and gives her personal reaction to the ongoing destruction & violence in Iran. Plus Christiane reveals what she's been told about the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and she and Jamie discuss whether he will be any more open to dealing with Trump than his father was.
