Tehran warns of 'everlasting consequences'

The US has carried out massive precision strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi condemns the US strikes as "outrageous" and says Iran is reserving "all options to defend its sovereignty".

We get reaction from Foad Izadi, associate professor at the Department of American Studies at the University of Tehran; and Negah Angha, former State Department and National Security Council official under the President Biden’s administration.

Also on the programme: Afghan journalist Zahra Joya explains the news organisation she founded, Rukhshana Media, to honour a 19-year-old girl named Rukhshana who was stoned to death by the Taliban in 2015.
