Trump and the Iran ceasefire: what happens next?

A ceasefire is declared after Donald Trump agrees to a two-week pause in attacks on Iran, contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. But is this a genuine de-escalation or a strategic pause? A reprieve that the world has been desperate to see or statecraft in action? 

In this episode of Global Roaming Geraldine and Latika speak to one of the UK's leading war and military specialists to better understand where the Middle East conflict is headed. 

Guest: Dr Jack Watling, Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
