BBC World Service - Weekend, US President Joe Biden expects Iran to attack Israel 'sooner rather than later'

President Biden has asked Iran not to retaliate against Israel's attacks

President Biden has asked Iran not to retaliate against Israel's attacks.

The US say the threat from Iran is real and imminent, but President Biden has asked Iran not to retaliate against Israel after last week's deadly attack in Syria. Israel has not taken responsibility for the strikes against the Iranian consulate in Syria but is generally believed to have been behind it. 

Also in the programme: US Vice President Kamala Harris says Donald Trump is responsible for the loss of abortion rights in Arizona; a warning from a former British commander: this could be the year Ukraine loses its war against Russia.

Joining presenter Celia Hatton are Jade McGlynn, an author and Research Fellow at the Department of War Studies at King’s College London and Daniel Susskind, an economist at Oxford and King College London who is also an author.
