Hello, I'm Lauren Taylor.

This is the Iran War Today,
3
our daily briefing,
4
bringing you up to date with all you need to know on day 99 of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
5
Let's start with some of today's key developments.
6
The shaky ceasefire between the U.S and Iran is tested further,
7
with Iran striking Kuwait and Bahrain, and U.S forces hitting Iranian radar sites and drones.
8
The Lebanese army says several of its troops have been killed
9
in an Israeli airstrike on a military vehicle in the south of the country.
10
And Iran reacts angrily to the failure of the U.S to grant visas to some of its World Cup support staff.
11
The shaky ceasefire between the U.S and Iran has been tested further,
12
with American forces targeting Iranian drones and radar sites and Iran firing missiles at US bases in the Gulf.
13
Latest exchanges have put further pressure on what's supposed to be
14
a pause in hostilities to allow for negotiations for a peace deal.
15
Bahrain and Kuwait have condemned the Iranian attacks on their countries,
16
while the US said it had been responding to Iranian drone activity against ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
17
Trump still says an agreement is within reach,
18
but maintains that much of the Iranian military infrastructure has been destroyed.
19
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States of America,
20
President of the United States,
21
most of the drone factories have been knocked out.
22
Most of the launching pads have been knocked out.
23
And most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out.
24
But they still have capacity.
25
They have some missiles.
26
They have some drones.
27
I would say, percentage-wise, maybe 21,
28
22 percent of their missiles.
29
It's a lot of missiles.
30
I want to speak to Tom Simons who is in Washington for us.
31
So Tom, what have the US been saying about the latest strikes?
32
Well, Lauren, the US has said that this is unwarranted Iranian aggression.
33
And in response to that,
34
the Iranians are saying that the US has breached the ceasefire.
35
So let's just go over what's happened over the last 24 hours or so.
36
This appears to have started,
37
this latest tit for tat,
38
with Iranian drones being sent towards shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
39
The US responding by attacking radar bases along the coast of Iran.
40
The Iranians responding to that by sending seven missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain.
41
And the US saying that six of those missiles were intercepted and the other one didn't reach its intended target.
42
But no casualties, at least among US troops and no US bases affected, according to CENTCOM.
43
So what's happened?
44
Well, I think we can sum all that up as this is a ceasefire that is absolutely fraying at the edges.
45
And given that, is there any progress or any word on any progress towards a peace deal?
46
Well, Donald Trump gave an interview earlier this week to CNBC,
47
one of those phone interviews.
48
He now picks up the phone to reporters.
49
And he said that, quotes about the talks with Iran,
50
I don't care if they're over.
51
Honestly, I really don't care.
52
I couldn't care less.
53
Now, only a week ago he was predicting a deal within days,
54
and he does tend to say things like that in his many statements and tweets and posts.
55
He did another interview yesterday on camera in which he said that,
56
regarding the Iranians, that he believed they felt they had been virtually decapitated,
57
but he said that they were a very proud nation and therefore were not seeking to reach a deal.
58
So that's where we are.
59
I think on the Iranian side,
60
probably the events in Lebanon have had the biggest implication for the Iranian negotiators.
61
There was a potential ceasefire in the last 24 hours,
62
but it appears to have not really happened,
63
partly because Hezbollah, which Iran backs,
64
was refusing to agree to the ceasefire,
65
was refusing to stop attacks and refusing to withdraw from areas of Lebanon that were part of that ceasefire deal.
66
So that now seems to be dead, continuing hostilities there.
67
And that does seem to be quite key when it comes to getting a deal between Iran and the US.
68
Tom Simons, thank you very much indeed.
69
And let's talk about Lebanon now.
70
The Lebanese army says several of its troops have been killed
71
in an Israeli airstrike on a military vehicle in the south of the country.
72
One of those killed was an officer.
73
Israel has continued to attack targets,
74
it says, linked to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants,
75
despite a ceasefire having been agreed on Wednesday.
76
Here's our correspondent, Lina Sinjab, in Beirut.
77
The attack that took place today on a military vehicle in the south that left several soldiers dead,
78
including one officer, is really shaking any confidence in this ceasefire agreement and putting the Lebanese army at risk.
79
The agreement dictates
80
that there will be pilot zones in the south where the Lebanese army will be deployed to make sure
81
that it is clear of any presence of armed militias,
82
mainly to clear it from any presence of Hezbollah.
83
Now, after this attack, they fear that they might be under attack from both the Israelis and Hezbollah.
84
Hezbollah rejected categorically this ceasefire agreement,
85
is rejecting these talks and calling them as shameless and humiliating for the country.
86
There is a huge criticism to this agreement because it doesn't include a line about the withdrawal of the Israeli troops.
87
But for the government, this is the only way forward.
88
They said it repeatedly.
89
The only way is for negotiations,
90
for a gradual ceasefire to end this war and have a lasting agreement.
91
And the president, Joseph Owen,
92
yesterday even put the blame on Iran.
93
He said basically that the Iranians are using Lebanon as a bargain trip in their negotiations with the Israelis,
94
with the Americans.
95
JANE FERGUSONS, Iranian Foreign Minister,
96
Well, the Iranian Foreign Minister has again pointed out that the situation in Lebanon is part of the overall conflict.
97
SEBASTIEN ASHA, Iranian Foreign Minister,
98
Iranian Foreign Minister, But in the recent war between Iran and the United States,
99
Lebanon is an inseparable part.
100
Therefore, we do not see the fate of Iran's war with America
101
and Israel as separate from the fate of the war in Lebanon.
102
They are connected.
103
JANE FERGUSONS, Our correspondent Sebastien Asha is in Jerusalem.
104
So Sebastian, tell us about what Israel is saying about the killing of Lebanese army troops in that Israeli airstrike.
105
Well, there was a statement from the Israeli military essentially saying that it did carry out the strikes,
106
but saying that the vehicle in which the three Lebanese soldiers,
107
a very senior commander, an officer,
108
and another soldier were in and were killed,
109
was moving suspiciously in an active combat zone and that
110
that essentially is why the Israeli forces took action and fired at it.
111
I mean, it shows, of course,
112
as we've seen before, we've seen this with members of the Lebanese army,
113
which are not involved in the conflict,
114
and we've seen it with the Unifil sort of the unifil source sorry the unifil force
115
which has been patrolling the border zone between lebanon
116
and israel for decades where they again don't get involved in any of the combat
117
but they get caught up in the crossfire from time to time
118
and the intensity of the fighting that's continued in south lebanon means
119
that such incidents as this are more likely
120
and will make i think as we really understood what lena was saying there make the lebanese army
121
which is being asked to play the same role,
122
to be honest, but it was asked after the war that Israel mounted against Hezbollah back in 2024.
123
The Lemis army was meant to move and take all the positions that Hezbollah had been controlling down in himself.
124
It did do that to some extent,
125
but at a certain point,
126
caught in a vice, essentially,
127
between Hezbollah and the Israeli army,
128
which didn't fully pull out,
129
it wasn't able to fulfill that mission.
130
Now, it's been tasked with a similar mission,
131
but under, I think, even more difficult circumstances.
132
Now, there's been a major Israeli ground incursion into the south of Lebanon.
133
Just one other thing, I mean,
134
briefly, when you talk about the ceasefire in Lebanon,
135
this latest one, which was announced two or three days ago,
136
agreed by representatives of the Israeli and Lebanese government in Washington.
137
I mean, this is a staged process.
138
It wasn't meant to see an end of all the fighting in the South Lebanon in one go.
139
It was also meant to continue to forestall an extra escalation
140
by Israel in terms of the Israeli military mounting new airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
141
We haven't seen that happen since this ceasefire went into effect.
142
And we haven't seen, as far as anyone has been able to judge,
143
any serious attacks by Hezbollah on northern Israel,
144
on the communities there, which,
145
again, was part of the deal that was done to try and prevent that escalation.
146
So that's a very, very small amount of progress to be made.
147
But it is some.
148
But the fighting, the Israeli incursion in South Lebanon,
149
its airstrikes, its evacuation orders to villages down there,
150
they have carried on apace.
151
There was an IDF, an Israeli military statement just in the last hour or so,
152
which said that more than 150,
153
they have struck more than 150 what they call Hezbollah targets
154
in the south of Lebanon just in the past couple of days.
155
Thank you very much.
156
Iran has accused the U.S of discriminatory treatment
157
and violating its obligations as a World Cup host for refusing visas to some of its football team's delegation.
158
It said 15 members of the Iranian party had been refused U.S visas,
159
though not the players.
160
I want to speak to Puriha Jafari, BBC World Service's Sports.
161
So thank you for being with us.
162
Tell us a little bit about this.
163
The players have been granted visas,
164
but not their entourage, by the sounds of it.
165
Let me just bring you the latest.
166
The flight has just taken off from Ankara,
167
the plane which is carrying the Iranian football
168
and those who are accompanying the team including those who have not been granted visas.
169
On that list, there is the head of the Federation, the vice president.
170
There are two caretakers, two media offices,
171
two security offices, who some would have predicted,
172
and also two analysts, which are part of the technical team who are accompanying Iran.
173
And apparently, the plane is going to stop at Spain shortly and then go to Tijuana in Mexico,
174
where the Iranian camp is based.
175
I'm also hearing that there might be even more restrictions for those who got their visas
176
and are traveling to the US during the World Cup.
177
This is going to be something similar to the visas issued
178
for those countries who do not have diplomatic relationships with the US
179
when they go to the to the UN in New York in general General Assembly or other occasions.
180
This visa is only for designated areas,
181
meaning they can only go to the airport,
182
the hotel, the stadium in this case,
183
and like the the routes which are connecting them.
184
So it's a special kind of visa.
185
I'm still waiting for confirmation on this,
186
but this is what we're hearing from sources uh close to the team
187
and are the team at all concerned for their safety
188
while they're over there um tijuana in mexico it's it's known for uh
189
that connection of the drug trafficking and the mexican cartels
190
and uh trafficking into california uh and
191
and it's it's going to be difficult for the iranian team um in terms of in terms of the logistic
192
and the travel but originally the camp they chose for
193
that team was in arizona the uh and and let's not forget
194
that california is home to
195
so many iranian diaspora who do not have a good relationship with this team
196
and see this team as a representative of the islamic republic and not the people of iran They have already,
197
they are setting up rallies and protests against FIFA that is not letting them to carry any flags,
198
but the official flags to the stadium.
199
So in a way, being in Tijuana,
200
maybe it has its own negative side,
201
but it's going to keep them safe from those Iranian diaspora who probably would have caused them some problems
202
if their camp was on the soil of the United States.
203
Now it's going to be difficult for them to make
204
that border crossing go to Mexico apparently every time you want
205
to come back to the US there is heavy traffic a few hours you need to wait on
206
that checkpoint before you come back to the US
207
and perhaps many Iranians they find it too difficult to go
208
and make themselves heard outside the training camp in Tijuana for
209
your Jeffrey thank you very much indeed tomorrow Sunday will mark
210
a hundred days since the start of the Iran war despite numerous suggestions that moves towards peace are imminent.
211
The ceasefire is still being tested,
212
as we've seen with the tit-for-tat attacks over the last 24 hours.
213
I want to look at this in more detail.
214
I'm joined by Kazran Aji from BBC Persian.
215
Thanks for being with us.
216
So, tell us first of all about the reaction in Iran to these latest tit-for-tat strikes,
217
which are really putting the ceasefire at threat.
218
Yes, and they're all blaming each other.
219
The Iranians are blaming the U.S for starting it, and the U.S is blaming Iran for starting this.
220
But this has been going on for some time now.
221
For example, this kind of skirmish,
222
serious skirmish between the U.S and Iran is the third time in about 10 days,
223
less than 10 days.
224
And it's the second time that Iran attacks with ballistic missiles, Kuwait and Bahrain.
225
So it's, as you say,
226
it's testing the ceasefire in a big way,
227
in a very serious way.
228
And how long this might go on,
229
we have to wait and see.
230
But obviously, it's pretty fragile, this peace process.
231
And given that it's nearly 100 days tomorrow, Sunday, what would you.. how would you describe the impacts,
232
not just on Iran, but globally, of this war?
233
I think it has changed the sort of power relations in the region.
234
The U.S and Israel, when they started this attack on Iran,
235
they had certain ideas.
236
They haven't sort of achieved those, their aims.
237
They wanted to get rid of the regime change.
238
They wanted to undermine the security forces to the point
239
that Iranians will rise and take over their power and change the regime.
240
All of that didn't happen at all.
241
In fact, what happened was the reverse of it,
242
in a sense that the security forces,
243
the hardliners got even more emboldened.
244
They became more stronger.
245
They became more entrenched.
246
So the change of top,
247
a change at the very top,
248
from Ayatollah Khamenei to his son,
249
we don't know whether that is a qualitative change in terms of,
250
you know, how much the new man is a hardliner.
251
Is he as hardline as his father?
252
We still don't know, because we haven't seen him in the last three months since he has been appointed.
253
But, nevertheless, Iranians, the hardliners who are driving this bus in Iran,
254
are feeling pretty much emboldened.
255
They think they have the upper hand,
256
and they think that they have won the war,
257
and they can dictate the terms of peace.
258
And that might be their weakness,
259
in a sense that they might lose the chance of achieving something achievable.
260
JUDY WOODRUFF.: Kasser Nagy, thank you very much indeed for that analysis.
261
Thank you.

Iran war today to mark 100 days since the start of the conflict.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
