Donald Trump has backed down again on threats towards Iran.

In a social media post, the President said he has agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” and that this “will be a double-sided ceasefire”.

It’s after Iranians formed human chains along bridges and around power plants after Trump vowed that “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.

On the other hand, Iran has claimed victory, saying it forced the US to accept its 10-point plan.

All the while, our Foreign Minister Winston Peters has met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, coming out of it saying he is “very hopeful for the future”.

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago Peace Studies professor Richard Jackson is with us to take us through the latest, and what could happen next.

Iran has rejected a proposed ceasefire with the US and Israel. 

It’s after an expletive-ridden post from President Donald Trump – where he demanded the Strait of Hormuz be opened or else Iran would be “living in Hell”. 

Iran’s deputy foreign minister has accused Trump of threatening war crimes, saying strikes on power plants and bridges would target civilian infrastructure and violate international law. 

Meanwhile, our Foreign Minister Winston Peters is travelling to Washington D.C. - where he’ll meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials.  

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago international relations expert Robert Patman is with us to discuss the latest on the war in Iran, and what could happen next.

The financial year is coming to an end. 

It means we’ll see a whole bunch of policies and adjustments from April 1.  

Everything from crayfish catch limits and Pharmac funding to changes to the Living and Minimum wages. 

Super annuitants, working families, students and beneficiaries are among those who will receive additional support. 

On the law-and-order front, the government’s crackdown on drug drivers is set to ramp up.

And power bills are expected to increase, after the Commerce Commission agreed to let local lines companies, and Transport, charge households and businesses more a couple years ago.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald business editor at large, Liam Dann, is with us to break down what changes are in the works, and what it might mean for you – and our economy.
