Iran downplays Israel's link to drone attack

No casualties have been reported from the explosions in Isfahan on Friday morning. A state media channel quoted a general as saying the explosions resulted from air defense firing at suspicious objects and caused no damage.

Also in the programme: Renewed conflict in Sudan with reports of fresh fighting in the capital of North Darfur, El Fasher, and a look at whether veganism and a plant-based diet can help tackle global hunger and climate change.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Ali Allawi, economist, writer, and former finance minister and deputy prime minister of Iraq, and Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome and special advisor to EU High Representative and Vice President of the Commission, Josep Borrell.
