Will Trump's Iran war echo Iraq?

The World This Weekend

Available for 27 days

As Sir Tony Blair says the UK 'should have shown up' for the US in Iran, and Donald Trump accuses Sir Keir Starmer of entering the war after he'd won it, the Prime Minister says the UK is 'learning the lessons of Iraq'. Jeremy Greenstock, Jack Straw and Wendy Sherman reflect on the parallels between the conflict there and the Israeli and American attack on Iran.
