One week on from the start of Trump’s war on Iran, Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine Anthony Albanese’s swift response in support of the strikes, and confirmation that three Australian personnel were on board a US submarine that sank an Iranian warship. They also delve into the review that the Liberal party tried to keep under wraps, all the recent political polling and why Pauline Hanson’s brand of authenticity deserves further scrutiny.

The US and Israel’s war with Iran is nearing its first full week, and after throwing the region into chaos, it is starting to spread beyond the Middle East. Washington and Israel are now vowing to strike ‘deeper’ targets in Iran, after a US submarine sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka. Guardian columnist and Politics Weekly America host Jonathan Freedland joined Reged Ahmad in the Sydney studio to discuss what might force Donald Trump to end the war, and the repercussions for world order

When the Liberal party received a copy of the scathing assessment of its 2025 election loss, the federal executive decided to bury it. The attempt to hide it, however, was short-lived, with the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, tabling the troubling report in parliament this week. Nour Haydar speaks to political reporter Krishani Dhanji about why some wanted the findings to stay secret and if the party will learn from its mistakes

When the United States and Israel began bombing Iran over the weekend, they set in motion a war that has engulfed the region. In Australia, the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has firmly backed the strikes by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu despite saying his government does not know if there is any legal basis for them. Professor Ben Saul speaks to Nour Haydar about why law experts say it’s crystal clear the attacks on Iran were illegal and unprovoked, and why the military action sets a dangerous precedent

Since Donald Trump’s decision to join Israel in a war on Iran, the world has been asking “why?” and “what’s the plan?” But does the US president have one, and does the American public have the appetite for a war that could continue indefinitely? The Guardian’s Washington bureau chief David Smith speaks to Reged Ahmad about how long this all could go on for and what’s really motivating Donald Trump.
