On tonight’s W News, we discuss the two-week temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran as President Trump rejects Iran’s bid to allow uranium enrichment. We speak to Len Khodorkovsky, Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Former Senior Advisor to the US Envoy to Iran. Plus, as Israel launches the biggest wave of strikes on Lebanon since the war began and Tehran threatens to withdraw from the truce if attacks continue, we go live to Herzliya with Middle East Correspondent Jotam Confino.
We also get reaction from Pakistan, which played a key role in securing the fragile ceasefire, with Associate Fellow Umer Karim from the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies. And as the British Prime Minister arrives in the Gulf for talks with regional leaders to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Former NATO Deputy Supreme Commander Sir Richard Shirreff shares his perspective. #Iran #US #Trump #IranWar #Ceasefire #USIran #Tehran #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Pakistan #Gulf #StraitOfHormuz #OilPrices #Geopolitics #WorldNews #GlobalNews #Diplomacy #WarUpdates #Conflict #InternationalRelations #AlArabiyaNews #MiddleEast #MiddleEastNews #BreakingNews
