Plus, international economics editor Hans van Leeuwen explains why the world has been watching the wrong oil price - and how the global impact of the war could be worse than we thought.  Highlights   Why time is not on Trump’s side in the Iran war Mojtaba Khamenei’s injuries and what they say about the Iranian regime CONTRIBUTORS: Roland Oliphant, co-host and chief foreign affairs analyst @RolandOliphant Hans van Leeuwen, International economics editor @hansvan333 Sanam Vakil, MENA programme director Chatham House @SanamVakil CONTENT REFERENCED: Hans van Leeuwen: The world is watching the wrong oil price Producer: Elliot Lampitt Executive Producers: Venetia Rainey & Louisa Wells ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
