"The country that continues to aggress the sovereignty of other countries in the region is Israel" - Director at Africa Asia Dialogues, Thembisa Fakude weighs in on Iran, US, Israel conflict

from Update@Noon · host SAfm

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, has appealed for a ceasefire in Iran to allow for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections of Iran's nuclear sites. Grossi says establishing the facts on the ground is a prerequisite for any agreement, and this can only be done through IAEA inspections. Meanwhile, Iran says U.S. attack widens its scope for military response. It has called U.S. President Donald Trump a "gambler" for joining Israel's military campaign against the Islamic Republic. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Thembisa Fakude a Senior Research Fellow and Director at Africa Asia Dialogues.
