Trump launches war against Iran

The US and Israel have begun a war with the apparent aim of toppling Iran's regime - and we are beginning to learn the consequences.

Donald Trump has rolled the dice again, stunning the world by choosing the most extreme option over Iran.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say on all major policies, serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and controls the Revolutionary Guard.

Multiple locations in Iran have been targeted by joint US-Israel strikes, and Tehran has launched retaliatory missiles across the region.

Only thirty-six hours ago, Trump's envoys were meeting with a high-level Iranian delegation in Geneva to discuss a diplomatic solution.
