Trump threatens to strike Iran's bridges and power plants

Outside Source

Available for 26 days

Iran has carried further further attacks on critical infrastructure in Arab Gulf States, as it continues to strike its neighbours in response to the US-Israeli bombing campaign. President Trump has threatened further escalation, saying the US hadn't even started destroying what's left in Iran -- including bridges and power plants. We hear from people in Iran, and get the latest from our correspondent. The four astronauts on the Artemis II mission have now left Earth’s orbit. We speak to two experts with opposing views on whether missions like Artemis are worth pursuing. And in Australia, shark attacks on humans remain rare but are on the rise. Three Australians who survived shark attacks share their terrifying experiences. Presenter: James Reynolds.
