Iran war: Displaced Lebanese

Outside Source

Available for 12 days

After Israel launched a series of attacks on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, we hear from people who have been displaced following the escalation of the conflict. Israel has struck an Iranian petrochemical complex on the world's largest natural gas field -- in a significant new escalation in the US-Israeli war with Iran. Tehran has vowed to retaliate. BBC Verify journalists explain what's been happening in the conflict. And we get reaction from fans to the ruling that declared Morocco the winner of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations - two months after Senegal’s controversial walk-off. Presenter: James Reynolds.
