Donald Trump has held an astonishing press conference in which he said the war in Iran was ‘very complete' and could end ‘very soon', but also claimed that the US had not ‘won enough'. The US president is under growing pressure over the economic toll from the conflict, but his words were met with defiance from Tehran. So is the war any closer to ending and has Trump underestimated the resilience of the Iranian regime? Lucy Hough speaks to the Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik – watch on YouTube.

Among the many justifications Donald Trump has presented for the US and Israel attacking Iran has been the supposedly imminent threat posed by its nuclear weapons programme.

She sets out why many experts don't believe the country even had a structured nuclear weapons programme, and explains what she thinks the impact of the war could be on nuclear proliferation around the world..

Trump, War & Power: Are Trump and Pete Hegseth the Most Dangerous Men in the World? Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are driving some of the biggest global conflicts dominating the headlines today. With tensions rising from Venezuela to the Middle East, critics are asking a chilling question: is the world entering a dangerous new era of war and power politics? On this episode of The Karel Show, Karel breaks down the growing geopolitical tensions surrounding the Trump administration and the aggressive military posture of the United States. From U.S. intervention in Venezuela to escalating conflict with Iran and the broader Middle East, the world is watching America's expanding military influence closely. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned that the current war with Iran may only be the beginning and that more casualties could occur as the conflict expands. (The Guardian) At the same time, critics warn that U.S. military actions and rhetoric from Washington could reshape global alliances and push the world closer to a broader conflict. But the crisis isn't just overseas. Back home, Americans are facing mounting pressure and uncertainty: • rising economic anxiety • a housing market increasingly out of reach • travel chaos at major airports • job losses and political gridlock in Washington So the real question becomes: who is holding power accountable—and what happens next? On today's episode, Karel dives into the global consequences of war, the political forces shaping the moment, and why some observers believe Trump and Hegseth are among the most powerful—and controversial—figures influencing world events today. Will the world push back… or simply watch it unfold? ⸻ The Karel Show is independent political commentary from broadcaster Charles Karel Bouley II, delivering sharp analysis on politics, culture, and global events.

How the war on the regime in Tehran could re-shape the Middle East.

Intense waves of airstrikes have hit dozens of military positions, frontier posts and police stations along northern parts of Iran's border with Iraq in what appears to be preparation by the US and Israel for a new front in their war. Iran has warned ‘separatist groups' in this region against joining the widening conflict and launched strikes against Iraq-based Kurdish groups it described as ‘opposed to the revolution'. Could the involvement of these militant groups increase the risk of a civil war in Iran if the regime collapses?

The conflict in the Middle East has sent energy prices soaring, and for countries that import a high proportion of their fuel, it's a reminder of the perils of energy dependence. As the recipient of almost 90% of Iran's crude oil, China knows this only too well. Which partly explains why the country spent the last decade heavily investing in clean power. To find out what else could be driving the strategy, Madeleine Finlay speaks to senior China correspondent Amy Hawkins. And energy correspondent Jillian Ambrose reflects on how China's ambitions could affect the rest of the world. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

In the past three months, Donald Trump's White House has reportedly used AI twice to effect regime change – once in its capture of Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro, and more recently to help plan the strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The most recent strikes coincided with the end of the Pentagon's relationship with the AI company Anthropic over concerns its AI tool Claude was being used for purposes the company had explicitly prohibited. The government swiftly signed a new contract with Open AI. To find out what this means for the use of AI in forthcoming conflicts, Madeleine Finlay speaks to technology journalist Chris Stokel-Walker.
