## Resource

Iran has fired missiles and drones towards Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain after the US attacked Iranian targets. The two countries have been exchanging blows for seven consecutive nights, despite the temporary ceasefire. We speak to experts about Iran's strategy and what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz. Also in the programme: Ukrainian drones strike deep inside of Russia and India's private sector makes strides in space.
