Available for more than a year
Today, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the US-Iran ceasefire is “not over” despite the attacks in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Donald Trump’s “Project Freedom” aims to use the US military to remove stranded cargo ships from the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran insists on controlling the strait and fired missiles and drones at military and commercial ships yesterday, according to the United States. Adam is joined by chief presenter Caitriona Perry and business editor Simon Jack. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said at the Downing Street summit that “every part of society” has a responsibility to combat antisemitism in the United Kingdom. The development follows the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green and a series of attacks on synagogues and other Jewish venues in recent months.
