There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

As the Israel war unfolds, the urgent cry for peace reverberates globally. The toll on civilian lives and infrastructure is deeply distressing. Swift diplomatic efforts are required to bring about a ceasefire and initiate a process of reconciliation. The international community must prioritize dialogue, understanding, and a commitment to lasting stability.

BBC and the older sister news organizations. Where were their condemnation of the destruction of India’s people by the UK was going on . For 89 years the British Government took over the administration to establish the British Raj that killed tens of thousands of innocents and enslaved the whole race. They stole its heritage and put it in the British Museum. Now BBC calls the hate mongers that support Hamas …””Palestinian supporters”” . Hamas has murdered UK citizens.
Have you not learned…. BBC should be ashamed of their support for Hamas. Please support Israel and the Palestinian communities. Not Hamas.

The region is a joke. Violence in perpetuity. Fanatical attitudes and intolerance. Neighbouring countries need to open their borders for Palestinians. Palestinians need to root out Hamas. Europe needs to close its borders and stop being their dumping ground. The region needs to seek other ways to coexist other than barbaric violence. For years the media has pushed the narrative that Islam is peaceful and tolerant. Really??? Where are Islams peace brokers????? Does such a thing even exist?

Old habits die hard . . . PLO-sympathizing Euro media right back to where we were in 2004/5. It is astounding really. Hamas carries out a surprise attack in which thousands of Israelis are kiled and wounded and hundreds kidnapped and held hostage, and just a few days later we are RIGHT BACK to the same old tired apologia for the genocidal Islamic supremacist narratives. It seems to me that a large fraction of Europeans just cannot help themselves: they hate Jews and share the Nazi and Islamic Supremacist dream to see them exterminated.
25 minute video and you did not once state the most important fact: All that is needed for all civilians in Gaza to be ushered to a more safe and secure situation is for Hamas to surrender unconditionally, renounce its agenda to destroy Israel, lay down their arms, and allow themselves to be peacefully apprehended. Shameful. Absolutely shameful misuse of your status as a recognized media entity. Your apologia for Hamas genocidal exploitation of its civilian population is disgusting and a continuation of decades of similar behavior by the BBC. This is WHY this problem has persisted: Western media and "aid" agencies feed the Islamic Supremacist genocide cult with good press and maintain constant double-standards against Israel. All I can gather is that you, like Hamas, WANT to see innocent people suffer and die. Shame on you, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU at the BBC.

I can't seem to get an answer to these questions. First, what exactly, at this moment does Hamas want? They have hostsges, so what are their demands? Second, how is IDF supposed to get to Hamas if they are hiding behind civillians as human shields?
@MarinaJBoyd
December 20, 2023 at 6:55 pm
Even in his effort to be tactful, this guy can't get around the reality that the "armed wing" of Hamas will settle for nothing less than the subjugation, or destruction of Israel, and seems loathed to admit that this territory is Israel homeland from way before there is any Palestinian claim. The fact is, Jews can live side by side with Arabs, as Israel is 20% Arab, but Arabs cannot live side by side with Jews, not just in this territory, but seems that Jews have been (violently), exterminated throughout the middle east.

So, why are Isreal and Palestine fighting each-other? Who started it and why?
Is Isreal fighting, because they owned the land first? Is Palestine fighting because they want Hamas to be a state?
Aren't Isreal and Palestine just as guilty of war crimes as each-other?
If israel is trying to protest the Palestinians, why would they cut off their water & electricity? It doesn't make sense to me.
Just a thought: I don’t care who started it. I think that it's unfair that people suffer and die for what they didn't do themselves or don’t support. We can't stereotype that everyone from Israel or Palestine is the same.

Rafah crossing, majority of people are women kids and the elderly.WHERE ARE THE MEN? Hiding in the tunnels, well provisioned no need to come out, let their family take the brunt. Why did the poultion vote for hamas, what was the attraction. When hamas is wiped out who will fill the vacuum? So many shots of women and kids, no men only young boys and old men. In the 70s why was arafat and his gang of killers thrown out of jordan. I like the way the presenter said 1400 KILLED, a better word would be mutilated slaughtered raped beheaded tortured and taken hostage.

Firstly the BBC are parasites. The BBC are parasite champagne Fascists. The BBC are biased not only against the Jewish people and Israel but against loyal British citizens and our way of life. Everything about the BBC, even in their News Night programmes, screams their bias, From the religious and anti Jewish sentiments of their reporters and staff from the lowest tea lady right through from their reporters managers advisors and directors to the bias of those they consult and run to for advice ,consultation ,and opinion of news and especially news and incidents when Israel is at war. From top to bottom they are a disgrace to this country and the sooner they vanish the better for all who belief in fair and unbiased reporting,
