About this episode

Christiane Amanpour discusses the potential for renewed conflict between the US and Iran and the implications of Trump's actions on international relations.

With so much uncertainty over negotiations and the future of the conflict between the US & Iran, Christiane reveals that people she's speaking to believe there could be a return to war at some point very soon. Meanwhile, Jamie explains why he thinks Trump missed a key opportunity to de-escalate when he continued the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, even after Iran agreed to reopen the waterway. Christiane also highlights the significance of the Pope's recent interventions on the war, and Jamie looks at whether other world leaders will start taking a tougher stance towards the US President if his erratic behaviour continues.
