’Trump is a man with no plan’: Why the president can’t win the Iran war

Donald Trump said on Monday that the Iran war was “very complete, pretty much”. But Pete Hegseth, his defence secretary, has said we have seen “only just the beginning” of the assault. When asked for clarification, the president said, “in a way, it’s both”.

But with suggestions that Washington was bounced into the war by Israel, and as Iran escalates the conflict across the region, is this even Trump’s war to end anymore?

Tim and Camilla are joined by David Blair, The Telegraph’s chief foreign affairs commentator, to help understand the president’s plan (hint: he doesn’t have one). They also profile the Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader.

Later, more Jeffrey Epstein questions for the Royal family, and this time it’s Andrew’s daughters Beatrice and Eugenie who are under scrutiny. Hannah Furness joins to digest the latest royal gossip, including suggestions that Princess Kate could be dispatched to Washington to save the special relationship.
