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 you’re in the UK, listen on BBC Sounds. If you live outside the UK, listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

A 2025 Harvard poll of young people in the US found that a majority see AI as a threat to their career prospects.
And in recent months, numerous commencement speakers championing artificial intelligence on US college campuses have been booed by Gen Z graduates.
The controversy signals a growing unease among students about what the technology could mean for jobs, career stability, and the future of work.
We speak to Rachel Janfaza, founder of the Gen Z research firm The Up and Up, about why Gen Z’s relationship with AI is far more complicated than many think.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned protesters’ attacks on police in Southampton over the handling of Henry Nowak’s murder.
Starmer called the scenes “disgraceful”, while Hampshire Police said 11 officers and a police dog were injured during protests in the city on Tuesday evening. Two people were arrested.
The 18-year-old student was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa in December and was handcuffed by police as he lay dying on the ground.

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.
