President Trump's reiterating he's prepared to do what it takes to prevent Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. He announced yesterday he had called of plans for another attack this week, at the request of some Gulf states. Donald Trump today told media US officials are still negotiating, but Iran may need another 'big hit'.

President Donald Trump has warned Iran the "clock is ticking" as talks to bring their war to an end have stalled. "They better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," he wrote on his Truth Social platform. "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”There are multiple thorny issues to be resolved between the US and Iran, but one of them concerns another country altogether: Lebanon. Iran has reportedly insisted on an end to the war in Lebanon before talks can continue with the US. A ceasefire in Lebanon was announced back in April, but Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange fire since then and hundreds have been killed. Hugo Bachega, Middle East Correspondent, discusses why the war in Lebanon is so hard to end, and what that means for the chances of a deal between the US and Iran.Producer: Viv Jones and Aron KellerExecutive producer: Bridget Harney Sound engineer: Travis EvansSenior news editor: China CollinsPhoto: Smoke rises following an Israeli strike in Choukine, Lebanon (Reuters)

Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent for The Economist, discusses US blockades of Iranian ports.

A warning Iran has more ways to inflict economic pain if war resumes with the US, other than in the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump's threatening a navy blockade of the shipping lane from 2am NZT after talks in Pakistan have brought no deal. Iran says military vessels approaching the Strait will be dealt with severely. Reuters Middle East correspondent Alexander Cornwell says UAE and Saudi Arabian oil terminals could be at risk. "The Iranians have proven that they have the capability of hitting both of these sites - and there is also the question of Yemen's Houthis and whether they will try, once again, to close or restrict the Red Sea."

Israel's attacks on Lebanon may be a sticking point in ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the United States. More 300 people were killed and over 1000 injured in Israel's strikes on Lebanon yesterday, with Israel claiming the conflict there wasn't covered by the ceasefire agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's since ordered his Cabinet to open direct talks with Lebanon to establish "peace relations", but has rejected any reports of a ceasefire. The Economist's Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Mike Hosking the strikes won't stop entirely, but we may not see the same level as before. He says that if Israel tones down their attacks, it will hopefully take away the threat to the broader ceasefire in the region. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered officials to hold talks with Lebanon, but rejects any reports of a ceasefire there. He says Israel's military will continue to strike Hezbollah with force and won't stop until security is restored, but a Lebanese official says it won't negotiate under fire. Reuters senior Middle East correspondent Alexander Cornwell told Ryan Bridge if the talks between Israel and Lebanon take place, they'll need some kind of guarantor for it to work. He says they'll probably have to come from outside of the region – like the US or the French. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says it's allowing the Strait of Hormuz to open but requires vessels to communicate with its military.

Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent for The Economist, discusses the ceasefire announcement in the US/Iran war.

It remains an open question if Iran will continue to toll ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with moves to reopen the critical shipping lane. Iran and the US have accepted Pakistan's proposal to pause fighting two weeks. Israel says it supports suspending strikes on Iran - but not on Lebanon. Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says Iran's made huge profits tolling the few ships it's let through the Strait since the war began. "The ship owners don't care much about paying the tolls, as long as they can get out. What we can all hope is that the American administration decides to look the other way, at least for now."

Iran says it's "waiting" for a potential US ground attack and has threatened to "rain fire" on American soldiers if they lay boots on their land. It comes after the arrival of 3500 more troops in the Middle East and reports that the Pentagon is getting ready for weeks-long ground operations in Iran. Meanwhile, Pakistan says it's preparing to host talks between the US and Iran to try and negotiate an end to the war as it stretches into its second month. Middle East correspondent Lou Browne spoke to Lisa Owen.

Reporter Shirin Jaafari has covered countless conflicts across the Middle East. But now, for the first time, the neighborhoods of her childhood in Iran have become a warzone. Shirin has been covering the war for The World radio program at GBH, here in Boston, while keeping tabs of her family and friends back home.

War in the Middle East is also becoming a war of words - as the conflict enters its second week. Meanwhile, there's been reports Iran's new Supreme Leader could be chosen within 24 hours. The Economist's Middle East Correspondent, Gregg Carlstrom, says the narrative of this war is constantly changing - especially from US President Donald Trump. "A week ago, he was saying he wanted to give Iran back to the people of Iran, he wanted to free the people of Iran. Now he's talking about having a hand in picking the new Supreme Leader of Iran, which sounds rather contradictory." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hasten, Middle East Correspondent for the Jewish News Syndicate, joins JMN live in the midst of a current missile alert in Jerusalem. He provides context of the lived-experience of alerts and missile strikes, where missile defenses are effective but not perfect -- an Iranian missile struck a synagogue in Beit Shemesh, killing 9, earlier this week. The interview is in two parts, as communication was interrupted due to atmospheric interference.

The internet blackout in Iran continues, making it hard to capture what is happening inside the country. It's also making it hard for Iranians in Canada to reach family there.

Iran may be overstating its military capabilities in the wake of US and Israeli attacks. Coordinated strikes have killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple senior officials, resulting in Iran launching counter strikes across the Middle East. Iran officials say almost 150 people have been killed from a strike on a girls school. The Iranian President has appeared on state television claiming its armed forces are crushing enemy bases. The Economist's Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Mike Hosking that this is not true. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israeli officials have claimed Iran's Supreme Leader has been killed, following the US and Israel's major military operation on the country. The Iranian Red Cross says more than 200 people have been killed in strikes, including 85 people at a girls' school. Iran has hit back in retaliation, launching missiles across the Middle East, including in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait - all of which either have US military bases, or are allied to the US. Middle East correspondent for the Economist, Greg Carlstrom, says it's unclear how a regime change will change the Iranian Government dramatically. "The Iranian opposition, the political opposition is deeply divided, it's disorganised, there isn't someone who is an obvious leader, an obvious candidate to try and assume control of the country."
