How Israel's plan to destroy Iran's nuclear capability could backfire | ITV News

We’re on Day six of a bitter new outburst of war in the Middle East. A direct confrontation between Israel and Iran emerging from a shadow war that’s been going on for decades.

Hundreds have been killed, with exchanges of missiles and evacuations from homes in both countries.

Lucy Watson and ITV News International Affairs Analyst Rageh Omaar discuss what could happen next.
