Destroyed, dismantled or dangerous: Is Iran still a global threat?

A government report has warned that the threat of physical attacks by Iran on people living in the UK has increased "significantly" since 2022. Iran rejects what they call, hostile allegations.

Has the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran changed the hierarchy in the Middle East and its attitude towards the West?

On today’s episode, Niall Paterson speaks to home editor Jason Farrell, who attended the briefing for the report. He then discusses Iran’s current global ambitions with Professor Michael Clarke.
