bbc podcasts. we come on air with some breaking news. president trump has just said that the united states has completed a successful attack on three locations in iran. he delivered that news in a post on truth social, you can see that post on screen, that post coming in the last ten minutes or so.

welcome to bbc news. he worked in the state department as a senior adviser on iran, under the obama administration, of course an administration that brokered that famous nuclear deal with iran. what do you think can be done to de-escalate the situation diplomatically? it's got to be very challenging because all three leaders of, prime minister netanyahu, supreme leader ali, nay are blowing their bridges behind them. -- fordo, donald trump. it is released because there military attacks while some diplomatic arrangement gets off the ground. at that is possible but it seems far-fetched, as the report mentioned israelis feel very euphoric about their successes, the iranians are entrenched in their position and the united states is edging to get close to intervention in this conflict. i'm just reading what we heard earlier from the president of iran, he said his country will not agree to give up all nuclear activities and yet that seems to be the red line for the president trump in some way. well, proscribing

adrienne murray for bbc news. as we've been hearing, the war in ukraine has changed the way wars are fought. drones are very much at the heart of the conflict. earlier, i spoke to my first guest, who was in the uk's royal marines as a submariner, and after leaving four years ago, he set up vizgard, which makes ai-based software which can be used to control drones and other long-range security applications. he's also just raised $2 million worth of investment funding. alex kehoe, founder and ceo of vizgard, welcome to the programme. thank you very much. all wars seem to spawn a new era in defence technology. how has the war in ukraine changed technology, and specifically the area of drones, in which you work? the pace of innovation in ukraine is unheard of. so they're working on, it's said, a three-to-four-development life cycle where they'll deploy some equipment, the front line will give them some feedback. they'll adjust the software, adjust the hardware, redeploy it again. and so what it means is that what migh

bbc won. it would report the news accurately, but it would change it. it would make sense, changing the news to something else. first, it would announce that the izz al-din al-qassam brigades today , for example, fired 10 missiles, four of them at a certain town. then it would say that israel had a flight that hit a certain place in palestine. what does that mean? it means that the palestinians are taking revenge for this action by al-din al-qassam . the general audience should remember that you are aware of this. so this is mr. zaboli, our own son, dr. zaboli. zadeh has translated a book , framing, yes , sir , they create a framework. then they give you the expert in the framework, so in that framework, meaning now in the framework of iranophobia, in the official sense , well, look , iran is making it, then now they also have emotional films that are about women and children, but they don't say that these events happened, then iran is just saying the second part of the news , this is itself a narrative, that is, a product for an ideology, yes. but they

let's follow official sources such as the bbc, reputable news agencies or announcements from the forces. the second rule is not to gather around the attacked areas at all . curiosity is natural, but rushing to the scene in the middle of an air or missile attack is a disaster. not only are your lives in danger, but the crowd may block the rescue route or disrupt defense operations . in these circumstances, staying home is a great help. the third is not to take photos, not to film , not to publish. we know that many people like to document the scene. let them be, but believe me, now is not the time or place when you are in a damaged spot. you film a sighting or defensive operation and you leave it on the internet . you are giving valuable information to the enemy. they are also looking for exactly these images to understand what was hit well , what was left, or what was moved. if we really have to report, only do it through official numbers or institutions like the red crescent, emergency information, or the local army . fourth, have a home stockpile , but keep it at home, but don't go to
