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 Metropolitan Police detective who was raped by a fellow officer has told the BBC that Scotland Yard’s handling of her case was “like being raped all over again”.
Linda Williams, who has waived her right to anonymity for this exclusive interview, was attacked in 2004 by David Carrick, one of the UK’s most notorious sex offenders who was jailed three years ago for attacking Linda and other women. But she says the Met’s conduct during a subsequent civil case left her feeling suicidal.
In an unprecedented move for a serving officer, she is calling for the Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, to resign, and says she does not trust her own force to handle cases like hers.
The Met has paid tribute to her and says it tried to reduce her distress and re-traumatisation.

Spain is entering three days of mourning after at least 68 people died in a collision between two high-speed trains south of Madrid. Nearly 80 people are in hospital after the disaster.
“Lives have been shattered, families have been torn apart, the pain is immense,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from the crash site in Urda.
Transport Minister Óscar Puente says a computer failure led to the ini0tial halt of six moving trains, including the two trains that subsequently collided.
It is the second deadly rail crash on the same line in a year.
