What do Netanyahu and Trump really want in Iran? – podcast

Who decided to attack Iran this weekend? And who will decide how this war proceeds?

The Guardian’s chief Middle East correspondent, Emma Graham-Harrison, reports from Jerusalem on the mood in Israel four days into the latest conflict, and the widespread public support so far for the assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei.

Is it possible, asks Helen Pidd – as even the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, suggested – that this was an operation led by Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu? That its powerful US ally only got involved at the last minute?

The Guardian’s international security correspondent, Jason Burke, breaks down what we know about how the assassination took place, and whether President Trump and Netanyahu agree on what should happen next.
