The World Tonight - Israeli PM denies dragging US into war with Iran

Download Israeli PM denies dragging US into war with Iran

The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that US-Israeli attacks are massively degrading Iran's capacity to attack its neighbours as he insisted Israel had not dragged the US into war. He claimed Iran could no longer make ballistic missiles and the war could end sooner than people think. We hear from a former Trump administration official on whether the US and Israel are on the same page when it comes to conducting the war.

Also on the programme: We speak to a survivor of county lines grooming in London. And we hear from the 89 year old scientist who has made it her life's work to study the links between chemicals and fertility.
