Netanyahu praises US 'righteous might' after Iran strikes

Israel's Prime Minister thanks Trump for using the 'righteous might' of US against Iran.

Israel's Prime Minister offered his personal thanks to President Trump after he announced the US had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program in targeted strikes against three facilities. Former Nato WMD and disarmament director, William Alberque, and Danny Citrinowicz, former head of Iran analysis for Israeli military intelligence, join the programme to break down where these strikes leave the strategic balance of the Middle East.

Also in the programme: A new documentary examines the experience of one Mississippi town grapples with its history of slavery, and Kenyan runner, Faith Kipyegon prepares to become the first woman to break the four minute mile record.

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.
