?Listen to The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim on your podcast app?
With Trump saying the ceasefire with Iran is now "extended", how could this conflict end? And what are the long-term implications for the region, and who will dominate – Israel or Iran?
Richard is joined by Hamidreza Azizi, an Iranian analyst and Visiting Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin. He has spent much of his career in Iran, studying the regime, and talks at length about the current war, its origins and what could happen next in the Middle East.
The two also discuss Iran's 'Axis of Resistance' in the region which is made up of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.
Azizi's new book The Axis of Resistance: Iran, Israel and the Struggle for the Middle East is out later in the spring.
