Tariq Rauf, Former Head of Verification and Security Policy Co-ordination at the International Atomic Energy Agency
Abas Aslani, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies
Alicia Sanders-Zakre, Head of Policy at  the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

Why has Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant been targeted? 

The war in Iran is worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In violation of the ceasefire, Israel has severely restricted aid and maintained its air strikes. The US-brokered deal is meant to be in Phase 2 but appears to be in limbo. So, who could step in to help Palestinians?

In this episode: 
Dr Mohammed Tahir, Orthopaedic surgeon, worked in Gaza.
Alex de Waal, Executive Director, World Peace Foundation. 
Xavier Abu Eid, Former Communications Director, PLO.
