All eyes are on Pakistan this weekend as US Vice President JD Vance flies to Islamabad to meet with Tehran’s negotiating team, led by Parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf. But with disagreement over whether the ceasefire applies to Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz still closed, it’s not clear what progress will be made.  Meanwhile, Donald Trump is pressuring Nato to come up with a solution to the Strait - and fast. Venetia Rainey talks through the latest updates and news from across the region today.  Plus, could this ceasefire be a tactical pause to allow US forces to regroup? If you want to know America’s real intentions in the coming weeks, just watch the cargo and refuelling planes, says ex-British Army officer Robert Campbell.  He also reflects on his experiences serving in the Israeli army in southern Lebanon during the 1990s and explains why there is “no quick fix” to get rid of Hezbollah.  CONTRIBUTORS: Venetia Rainey, co-host @venetiarainey Robert Campbell, former British Army officer  CONTENT REFERENCED: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/04/10/why-the-tehran-tollbooth-will-never-work/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/04/09/netanyahu-fails-to-deliver-new-reality-promised-israel-iran/ Producer: Max Bower Executive Producer: Louisa Wells Listen to Iran: The Latest : YOUTUBE | APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | AMAZON Hosted on Acast.
