Coventry Iranians welcome strikes against Tehran
Coventry councillor Mattie Heaven and her Iranian journalist husband Vahid Beshesti are welcoming the US-Israeli strikes against the Iranian government.
Both have spent years trying to get the UK government to take action against the regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) which other government's have banned, but are currently free to operate in the UK.
Both spoke to BBC CWR's Phil Upton about the on-going conflict in the country of their birth.
