US strikes Iran's nuclear sites

Trump says US forces have 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities.

President Trump announces that the US military has 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program after carrying out a series of strikes on the regime's key nuclear facilities. We get reaction from former Trump state department appointee Matthew Bartlett, and Feisal al-Istrabadi, who served as Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations under the country's post invasion transitional government.

Also in the programme: Belarusian opposition leader, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has been reunited with her husband, in Lithuania, following his surprise release from jail, and we speak to Greenland's minister for business and mineral resources Naaja Nathanielsen, about attempts to exploit its highly coveted rare earth minerals.

Presenter Paul Henley is joined Jennifer Parker, an Australian defence and maritime security expert and a former officer in the Royal Australian Navy in Canberra and Laurie Bristow, president of Hughes Hall, a college at Cambridge University and former UK ambassador to Russia and Afghanistan.
