Israel-Iran War: Eylon Levy And Natasha Hausdorff Defend Strikes As Legal And ‘Existential’

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 12:56

Ian Collins speaks to former Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy and international law barrister Natasha Hausdorff as Israel and the United States intensify strikes against Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure. Levy describes daily missile sirens and bomb shelter alerts inside Israel but says morale remains strong, insisting the conflict is about survival. “The Iranian regime has sworn death to Israel for decades,” he tells Talk, warning the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is something Israel “cannot sweep under the rug”.

Levy argues the joint US-Israel operation has dramatically shifted the battlefield, claiming air superiority over Iran and major blows against senior officials, missile launchers and regime infrastructure. Despite the disruption of repeated attacks and rocket alerts, he says Israelis understand the stakes — preventing Tehran from reaching the point where nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities make it untouchable.

Barrister Natasha Hausdorff, legal director at UK Lawyers for Israel, rejects claims the strikes breach international law, arguing critics are misrepresenting the legal framework. She says Israel has been in an ongoing armed conflict with Iran and its proxy forces for years, meaning military action against the regime and its nuclear programme can fall squarely within lawful self-defence. Hausdorff also warns that misusing “international law” as a political argument risks undermining the credibility of the entire global legal order.

Trump: Starmer ‘No Churchill’ — Lord Daniel Hannan On Iran War, Chagos Islands And Britain’s Global Weakness

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 21:41

Ian Collins is joined by Conservative peer Lord Daniel Hannan as Donald Trump’s “no Churchill” swipe at Sir Keir Starmer detonates across Westminster and Washington. Hannan says the criticism has simply “caught up with where 85% of the British public is”, arguing Starmer’s instinctive response to the Iran war has been driven by a rigid, legalistic worldview — and that it’s colliding head-on with a White House that has little patience for international law arguments.

The conversation homes in on the Chagos Islands deal and the claim that Britain is being led by a tight circle of “human rights lawyers”, with Hannan warning the government is prioritising abstract legal principles over hard national interests. He suggests Starmer’s repeated insistence that the UK was not involved in the Iran strikes — including remarks made at a Ramadan event — risks looking like political pandering at a moment when Britain’s security, alliances and global credibility are under pressure.

Elsewhere, The Times’ Washington Editor Katy Balls assesses the cooling “special relationship” and whether Trump’s anger is personal, strategic, or both — before veteran Middle East correspondent Patrick Cockburn delivers a stark warning: even with US-Israeli military dominance, Iran’s retaliation could trigger a wider economic shock through the Strait of Hormuz, energy infrastructure vulnerabilities and Gulf disruption, raising the risk of a conflict that spreads well beyond the battlefield.

“The Extremists Love Starmer — Because They Can Use Him”: Yosef Haddad

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 11:36

On Talk Breakfast, Jeremy Kyle speaks to Arab-Israeli journalist Yosef Haddad about the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, anti-Semitism in the West and the future of the Iranian regime.

Haddad, a Christian Arab citizen of Israel, says Israelis — both Jews and Arabs — are “behind our army until we win”, arguing that Iran’s leadership has destabilised the Middle East for decades. He rejects claims that Israel is an apartheid state, insisting that during Iranian missile barrages, “it doesn’t matter if you’re a Jew or an Arab — Israel protects all its civilians.” He also accuses critics in Europe of hypocrisy, claiming there is a double standard when it comes to anti-Semitism and condemnation of Israel.

Discussing UK politics and the special relationship, Haddad says Middle Eastern extremists may “love” weak Western leaders but “have zero respect” for them, contrasting that with what he calls fear and deterrence under Donald Trump. He outlines a three-stage strategy he believes could weaken the IRGC and empower the Iranian people to rise up, arguing that regime change must ultimately come from within Iran — with external military pressure creating the opportunity.

Ex-MI6 Boss: Iran Has Sleeper Cells In The UK And Starmer “Sat On The Fence”

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 12:10

Jeremy Kyle is joined by former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove for a blunt assessment of the Iran crisis, the terror threat to Britain and Keir Starmer’s handling of the special relationship with Donald Trump.

Dearlove says the Prime Minister “sat on the fence when he didn’t need to”, arguing the UK should have immediately backed the US and Israel as Australia and Canada did. He dismisses overreliance on international law as “a movable feast” and says national interest should have come first. On NATO, he acknowledges that an attack on RAF Akrotiri is serious, but stops short of calling for full Article 5 escalation.

On domestic security, the former spy chief confirms there are groups in Britain sympathetic to Tehran and warns of the risk of Iranian-linked activity, including potential sleeper cells. While he says the security services are well equipped to disrupt organised plots, he flags the greater danger of lone actors. Dearlove, who reveals he has been personally sanctioned by the Iranian regime, describes that as a “badge of honour” and argues Iran’s ability to project power has been severely weakened — with the next chapter hinging on whether the Iranian people move against the IRGC from within.

Iran War, International Law And ‘Aggression’: Sir Richard Dalton On Why Regime Change Is Not The Answer

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 10:06

On Talk, Jeremy Kyle speaks to Sir Richard Dalton, former UK Ambassador to Iran, for a sharp and at times fiery debate over Britain’s stance in the escalating conflict with Tehran.

Dalton rejects claims that the UK has been weak, arguing Britain has taken a “judicious position” by assisting defensive operations while avoiding full-scale war. He insists international law must remain the foundation of foreign policy, warning that legitimising the assassination of leaders risks putting Western politicians “in the crosshairs too.” He also questions Washington’s justification for military action, saying claims of an imminent Iranian attack have not been convincingly evidenced.

Kyle pushes back, challenging whether international law can apply to a regime accused of sponsoring terrorism, repressing its own people and plotting abroad. Dalton acknowledges Iran’s record of internal repression and hostile activity, but argues that launching wars without a clear endgame risks regional chaos, economic shock and long-term instability. The exchange lays bare the divide between moral outrage and legal restraint — and what Britain’s national interest should look like in a volatile Middle East.

Former UK Ambassador To Iran Warns: “No Sign Of A Spontaneous Uprising” After Tehran Strikes

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 16:18

Kevin O’Sullivan speaks to former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Nicholas Hopton about whether US and Israeli strikes can realistically trigger regime change in Tehran.

Drawing on his time in post, Hopton says the Iranian regime is deeply unpopular but still resilient, warning there is currently “no sign” of a nationwide uprising despite isolated celebrations following the killing of senior figures. He estimates active regime support may sit between 10 and 20 per cent, but stresses that discontent does not automatically translate into revolution.

He also cautions that while Iran’s military capabilities are no match for the United States and Israel in a prolonged conflict, Tehran could sustain staggered retaliation for days or even weeks. With oil markets under pressure and Gulf allies under fire, Hopton argues the key question is whether Washington has a clear endgame — and whether this confrontation ends in negotiation, escalation, or a drawn-out regional war.

Trump Vs Starmer: Rick Gates On Iran Strikes, UK Bases And The Special Relationship

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 10:03

Kevin O’Sullivan speaks to Rick Gates, former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump, about the escalating US action against Iran and Britain’s controversial response under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Gates says there is “immense disappointment” in Washington over Starmer’s initial refusal to allow the US to use British bases such as RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia for strikes on Iranian targets. Although the UK later granted limited permission for what Downing Street described as defensive purposes, Gates argues the hesitation signals weak leadership at a pivotal geopolitical moment. He contrasts Starmer’s approach with what he calls Trump’s “decisive leadership”, claiming the President is willing to risk political fallout at home to pursue what he believes is global stability.

The discussion also explores the future of the UK-US special relationship. Gates insists President Trump maintains deep respect for the British people but warns that relationships matter in global politics, particularly on trade, NATO and security cooperation. He suggests that backing away from full support could have diplomatic consequences, even if the long-term alliance endures.

Dubai Under Fire: Isabel Oakeshott On Iran Missiles And Starmer’s U-Turn

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 15:10

Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by Talk’s International Editor Isabel Oakeshott, speaking from Dubai after Iranian missiles and drones were launched towards the UAE over the weekend.

Isabel describes the shock of receiving late-night warnings to take cover as air defence systems intercepted the vast majority of incoming projectiles. Residents were sent to underground car parks, hearing “thudding” munitions overhead, while authorities reportedly intercepted around 92 per cent of missiles and drones. Despite a small impact near Dubai airport and moments of real fear, she says daily life has resumed in an “eerily normal” fashion, with most residents staying put and only some tourists seeking to leave.

The conversation then turns to Sir Keir Starmer’s shifting position on allowing the US to use British bases, including RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia. Kevin brands it a “U-turn”, while Isabel calls Britain’s response an “international embarrassment”, arguing the UK cannot pretend to be uninvolved while allies in the Gulf come under attack. She questions whether Starmer is prioritising legal technicalities over moral clarity at what she describes as a historic inflection point in the Middle East.

Iran War Debate: Is Starmer Backing An Illegal Attack Or Supporting Regime Change?

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 14:54

Ian Collins hosts a fierce debate on the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, after Sir Keir Starmer confirmed British bases can be used by Washington to target Iranian missile systems.

Journalist and broadcaster Peter Oborne argues the intervention is illegal under international law, insisting there was no imminent threat and no UN Security Council mandate. He warns that removing Iran’s leadership could plunge the country into chaos, trigger civil war and unleash a refugee crisis affecting Europe and the UK. Drawing comparisons with Iraq in 2003, Oborne claims regime change without a clear plan risks repeating “catastrophic consequences”.

In stark opposition, Iranian-British human rights activist Lily Moo says Iranians are “rejoicing” at the fall of senior regime figures and reject comparisons with Iraq. She argues the Islamic Republic has waged war on its own people for decades and insists support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a transitional figure is real and widespread. Moo frames US and Israeli action as a “rescue mission” under the international principle of Responsibility to Protect, saying the Iranian people are ready for change — not civil war.

Iran Regime Collapse Or Forever War? Defence Expert's Analysis on US-Israel Strikes

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 16:00

Ian Collins examines what happens next after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, asking whether this is the beginning of regime collapse or the start of a prolonged regional conflict.

Security and intelligence expert Professor Anthony Glees warns Britain is “in a very weak place”, arguing the UK has alienated Washington, angered Tehran and offered mixed signals over the use of RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia. He cautions that removing senior Iranian figures will not automatically end the threat, describing Shia Islamism as a wider ideological movement that cannot be defeated with a single strike. Glees fears the conflict could become a “forever war”, with major consequences for oil prices, economic stability and UK security, particularly after a reported drone incident at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.

In stark contrast, UK-based anti-regime Iranian journalist Niyak Ghorbani insists the Islamic Republic’s core support is minimal, claiming only a small percentage of Iranians back the regime. He says many inside Iran are celebrating the strikes and looking to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a potential unifying figure for democratic transition. According to Ghorbani, ordinary Iranians see US and Israeli action as a chance to end decades of repression rather than the start of another Iraq-style disaster.
