Today, Laura catches up with Steve Rosenberg in Moscow and Frank Gardner in Saudi Arabia to get their take on the global impact the war in Iran is having beyond the Middle East. President Trump says the US military has bombed a small island off the coast of Iran which is home to one of the country’s most important oil terminals. Frank Gardner, the BBC’s security correspondent, explains how both the US and Iran are trying to secure their oil interests in the region. Plus Steve Rosenberg joins Laura from Moscow to talk about the US decision to loosen sanctions on Russian oil as the world deals with rising prices. But, what will this mean for Russia’s own war in Ukraine? You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Newscast”.

  • Hello, newscasters.

  • It is Saturday afternoon and I'm recording our conversation at about 4.30 in what has been a very,

  • very fast-paced news moment as the war in the Middle East...

  • passes the fortnight mark.

  • There are three stars of the show this afternoon.

  • First of all, you with your questions and messages about the ongoing conflict in Iran.

  • Second of all,

  • we're going to talk to the BBC's Frank Gardner who's reporting for us from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

  • He'll bring us the very latest on what's been happening in the conflict.

  • And the BBC's Steve Rosenberg will join us too from Moscow after Donald Trump controversially relaxed some of the restrictions on Russia selling its oil.

  • So plenty to come, but your questions are at the top of our list.

  • We had a message from Sue, clever Sue in Cardiff, back on the 10th of March.

  • And she wrote, Putin has congratulated the new supreme leader.

  • He's helping Iran with defence information, yet Trump may lift oil sanctions on Russia.

  • And this week, Sue's prediction came true.

  • America did loosen sanctions on other countries buying Russian oil.

  • So Sue, well done.

  • It might not make you feel good, but you were right.

  • So we'll find out today how important that move was from Donald Trump's ever controversial White House.

  • And we'll hear from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia about the very latest events in the war.
