Are we heading for World War Three? | The Global Story
It has been almost a month since Israel and the United States launched their war against Iran, and already there have been strikes in more than a dozen countries, with reports of over 2,000 people killed across the region.
Iran has received a 15-point peace plan from the US according to reports from Pakistan, which is acting as an intermediary.
But earlier, a spokesman for Iran’s military said the US was “negotiating with itself”, adding: “Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you.”
As the war drags on and more countries get involved, there are concerns this conflict could escalate into something truly global.
We speak to emeritus professor of International History at the University of Oxford, Margaret MacMillan, and explore how world wars start, how they end and what can be done to avoid them.
New episodes of The Global Story are released daily. If youâre in the UK, listen on BBC Sounds. If you live outside the UK, listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Airstrikes hit Kuwait airport – 1 dead and 60 injured – Iran and US launch more attacks | BBC News
One person has been killed and more than 60 injured in strikes on Kuwait’s international airport.
Kuwait’s defence ministry spokesman blamed Iran, saying drones had attacked the airport, and called it “criminal Iranian aggression”.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility for the attacks, claiming the damage was caused by an error from a US missile interceptor.
US Central Command said this was false and also accused Iran in targeting the airport in what it called a “deliberate, calculated and unjustified attack”.
The IRGC said it had targeted US bases in the Gulf in retaliation for US strikes on an Iranian oil tanker and Qeshm Island.
The US said it had launched “self-defence” strikes on Iran, and shot down or intercepted Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait and Bahrain.

The US military said it launched “self-defence” strikes on Iran overnight, and shot down ballistic missiles and drones fired at ships and Gulf countries.
The strikes on Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz, were “in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East”, US Central Command (Centcom) said.
Iran said it had attacked US bases and helicopters in a “regional country” using missiles and drones in retaliation. Centcom said Tehran fired two missiles at Kuwait and three at Bahrain, all of which broke apart or were intercepted.
Kuwait’s army later said Iranian drones had hit its international airport, causing “significant” building damage and injuries to a number of people.
The latest attacks come amid stalled ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran, after talks on a deal to end the months-long war failed to advance over the weekend.
