Can Trump de-escalate tensions between Iran and Israel? | LBC

Donald Trump has warned Iran that it "must make a deal, before there is nothing left" following overnight airstrikes by Israel which threaten all-out war in the Middle East. The comments follow Israel's wide-reaching attack on sites across Iran - including the capital Tehran, targeting a range of nuclear and military facilities. Dubbed Operation Rising Lion, the attack targeted "Iran's nuclear programme and other military targets". In the hours that followed, Iran ominously declared Israel’s assault on its military facilities a “declaration of war”. Retaliatory measures on Friday saw the Iranian military fire 100 drones at Israel in what it vowed was “harsh and decisive” action. Matthew Wright is joined by LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks to discuss Trump's role in the escalating tensions.
