What is Iran thinking as Trump declares the ceasefire over? | Global News Podcast
The US has launched dozens of strikes on Iran, after President Donald Trump declared their ceasefire over, and called Tehran’s leadership “scum”. Iran vowed to respond “fearlessly” to Mr Trump’s “vulgarity”, and has targeted US military sites across the Gulf region.
Washington says this flare-up in violence began when Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired on commercial ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz via a route not approved by Tehran.
We ask Parham Ghobadi of the BBC’s Persian service why Iran’s leaders were willing to jeopardise the ceasefire, and what their strategy is now, amid increasing fears of a return to all-out war.
Plus, we look at the week-long funeral ceremonies for the late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during which some Iranian officials called for Mr Trump to be killed.
