Could Iran attack Israel? And Can Biden Stop It?

Plus, historical revelations about a no 10 affair

Today, we look at President Joe Biden鈥檚 warning that Iran is threatening to launch a 鈥渟ignificant attack鈥 on Israel.

Tensions have risen following what is believed to be an Israeli attack on an embassy in Syria, which killed senior Iranians. America has promised 鈥渋ronclad鈥 support for Israel. Will this be enough to deter the Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, or are we about to see the US enter into another conflict in the Middle East?

Adam is joined by chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucett, and Dr Kenneth Katzman, a former Iran expert for the US Congress and Senior Fellow at the Soufan Centre.

Plus, close advisers to former Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson have revealed that the PM had an affair with his deputy press secretary during his time in No 10. Why has this come to light now? And why is it significant? Adam speaks to Patrick Maguire, the journalist who broke the story for The Times.
