Iran continues missile and drone strikes despite President’s apology

Iran has continued firing missiles and drones at its southern neighbours, despite President Masoud Pezeshkian apologising for earlier attacks on Gulf states. Could this signal divisions within Iran’s leadership? We put the question to our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet.

As the war enters its second week, President Trump says he wants Iran’s unconditional surrender. Former US Iran negotiator Robert Malley told us conflict seemed almost inevitable.

And in the United States, an extraordinary story from rural Howard County, Maryland: a police detective has reunited two siblings after 63 years while investigating their mother’s decades old cold case.

Joining our presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these stories are Rana Rahimpour, an Iranian-British journalist , also a psychedelic therapist and counsellor and Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London and director of the thinktank the UK in a Changing Europe.
