On tonight’s W News with Catalina Marchant De Abreu, we discuss Iran’s vow to retaliate after the US attacked and seized an Iranian cargo ship with former British MP and former chair of the UK Defense Select Committee Tobias Ellwood. Plus, as a US delegation that will include JD Vance travels to Pakistan for peace talks while Iran says it has no plans to attend, we speak to Iran and US historian John Ghazvinian and former German Ambassador Martin Kobler.
We also discuss Keir Starmer’s admission that his judgment was wrong when it came to appointing Peter Mandelson, with Director of the Westminster Alliance for Ukraine and former UK MP Roger Casale. #Iran #USA #Trump #JDVance #Pakistan #Islamabad #StraitOfHormuz #Ceasefire #Geopolitics #WorldNews #GlobalPolitics #USIran #Diplomacy #WarAndPeace #Starmer #Mandelson #UKPolitics #Epstein #OllyRobbins #AlArabiyaNews #BreakingNews #MiddleEast
