Iran says the intelligence chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Majid Khademi, was killed in a strike on Monday morning; Israel later claimed responsibility for the attack. As US-Israeli strikes on Iran continue, Iranian people tell the BBC that they're afraid of the latest ultimatum from President Trump. Also in the programme: NASA's Artemis II mission has now entered the lunar "sphere of influence"; how Northern Ireland has become a world leader in support for mothers who've miscarried; and the icy world of curling hits a hot streak as it starts a professional league.

  • Hello and welcome to NewsHour.

  • It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service studios in central London.

  • I'm Tim Franks.

  • And we 're beginning with the war in Iran, where the landscape is shifting, with shifting deadlines,

  • shifting objectives and rhetoric, which over the weekend shifted to a new sweary pitch.

  • On that point, if you did n't hear or read it,

  • this was President Trump's profanity-strewn post on social media on Easter Sunday,

  • in which he announced that tomorrow, Tuesday, will be, as he put it.

  • Power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one.

  • An implicit but pretty clear threat that major civilian infrastructure would be targeted deliberately by US forces.

  • Unless, that is, Iran release its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

  • I would quote the rest of his post, but given its sweariness,

  • it would probably be my last day in broadcasting, at least for the BBC World Service.

  • Iran, for its part, has warned that its response to any such strikes would be much more devastating

  • and widespread than it has staged so far.

  • There is also, of course, a wider question as to whether the deliberate destruction of energy

  • and transport infrastructure would amount to war crimes.

  • Let's begin, though, with some voices from inside Iran.

  • Communications can be patchy with a lot of disruption to the internet.

  • We did, though, get in touch with this businessman in Tehran.
