How could Iran respond to Syria strike?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Iran says Israel carried out a strike on its consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus - which killed two senior military commanders. We ask how Tehran could respond to what's being called a major escalation. Also on the programme: The government is facing a possible revolt from Conservative MPs, over plans to criminalise rough sleeping. We hear from someone who's slept rough about the possible impact of the legislation. And why your fruit juice might be not quite what is says on the carton: we get a briefing on "applejuicification".
