BBC World Service - Weekend, US urges Iran not to attack Israel

The US President expects Teheran to retaliate against Israel 'sooner rather than later'

The US President expects Teheran to retaliate against Israel 'sooner rather than later'.

President Biden has urged Iran not to retaliate against Israel after last week's deadly attack in Syria. Some international airlines are avoiding Iranian airspace amid fears that Teheran is preparing to launch an attack on Israel. 

Also in the programme: New attacks on a major power plant near Kyiv as Russia's war on Ukraine continues; and the Israel-Hamas war has put a strain on Gaza's medical care system as only ten out of 26 hospitals in Gaza are still moderately running.

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.
