About this episode
This week's Q&A episode is a special all about the ongoing war in the Middle East: Christiane & Jamie tackle your questions on everything from who is likely to succeed the late Ayatollah Khamenei as the leader of Iran, to whether Trump might have started this conflict to distract from his domestic struggles and scandals.
Later, Christiane explains whether there is more support for regime change among the older or younger generations inside Iran, and why Trump has misjudged his approach towards the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
Meanwhile, Jamie breaks down why Hamas' October 7th attacks on Israel were the turning point that led to this war breaking out.
