First up, just in case you thought the war with Iran was over, well, no, it's not.

The Iranian regime fired ballistic missiles at two US warships, and the US responded by taking out three Iranian oil tankers.

It may not be full on, all out kinetic action, but the missiles and drones are still flying, and the regime is showing no indication that it's looking to compromise or make concessions.

Later in the show, President Trump's envoys are making another push to end the war in Ukraine, traveling to Kyiv after a meeting with Vladimir Putin.

And back in the Middle East, Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthis are trying to capture territory near a strategic Red Sea strait.

And in today's Back of the Brief, if you're in the market for a London penthouse, well, two posh properties with charming views of Kensington Palace are now up for sale.

The only catch, well, they're linked to Iranian supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini, wherever he may be.
