The US and Israel have launched a massive assault on Iran.

Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the strikes will increase over the coming days.

Donald Trump has said that they “figured it will be four weeks or so” when asked about a potential timeline.

Iran has retaliated, unleashing its own strikes on US military bases, Israel and other targets across the Middle East.

The killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many of his senior commanders has left Tehran’s future leadership in question. 

But questions are also swirling about the legality of the strikes.

Today on The Front Page, Waikato University international law professor, Al Gillespie is with us to discuss how we got here, and where to next.
