What will Trump do on Iran?

Outside Source

Available for 29 days

Donald Trump has warned that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" unless Iran reaches a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He also said that "something revolutionarily wonderful can happen" before his deadline for Iran to reopen the key shipping channel. We speak to our correspondents across the region about what might happen. In Cambodia the BBC has been given access inside a huge compound along the Thai border in which scams are run - defrauding thousands of people across the world of their savings. The scam centre was seized by the Thai military during a brief border war between the two countries last year. Our correspondent Jonathan Head was on the trip. We get the latest from Hungary, where the US vice president JD Vance is visiting just days before a general election in which polls suggest Prime Minister Viktor Orban is likely to lose.
