Has Iran won the war?

from James O'Brien Daily

Lewis Goodall sits in for James O’Brien as yet more momentous events unfold in the Middle East. A two-week ceasefire has been agreed: the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, and the guns, bombs and rockets have fallen silent across Iran. So, who is the winner here? Did Donald Trump blink, or will he claim this as a victory? And does this change the US’s political standing on the world stage? As Keir Starmer heads to talks with Gulf leaders - we reflect on the UK government’s response to the war in Iran. Will this change the public perception of Starmer? Sir Sadiq Khan joins from a community centre in south London - where he is launching a new £30m scheme for youth clubs in the capital - and he responds to James Cleverly’s criticism of the PM’s handling of the war. This episode was recorded on Wednesday 8th April. Catch James O’Brien on LBC weekdays from 10am.
