Iran war: The global impact

Available for 17 days

We look at what the world is doing about the Iran war and hear from our correspondents in the US, Russia, China, India, Europe, and the Gulf. Israel says it has killed the intelligence chief of Iran's Basij militia which is part of the powerful Revolutionary Guards corps. Kuwait's biggest oil refinery has been hit by drones as Iran continues to respond to US-Israeli attacks. We have the latest from BBC Persian. We also hear from Iranians outside the country about how they are marking the Persian New Year, Nowruz. And, Iranian journalists abroad share their experiences of reporting on a story that affects their own families. Presenter: James Reynolds.
