Description:

US President Donald Trump's declaration of war on Iran at the weekend seemed inevitable but nevertheless shocking.

Ayatollah Ali Khamanei and civilians died when joint American and Israeli strikes rained down on the country, beginning on Saturday. Trump says it’s time for the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow their government.

Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher discusses who is likely to rule Iran and if this will lead to a wider war.
