This week's Q&A episode is a special all about the ongoing war in the Middle East: Christiane & Jamie tackle your questions on everything from who is likely to succeed the late Ayatollah Khamenei as the leader of Iran, to whether Trump might have started this conflict to distract from his domestic struggles and scandals.

Later, Christiane explains whether there is more support for regime change among the older or younger generations inside Iran, and why Trump has misjudged his approach towards the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Meanwhile, Jamie breaks down why Hamas' October 7th attacks on Israel were the turning point that led to this war breaking out.

In this special episode, Christiane gives her personal reaction to the killing of Ayatollah Khamanei and the dramatic events of the past few days, as she and Jamie try to make sense of America and Israel's war on Iran.

How long will the airstrikes last? Can this military intervention actually lead to regime change? And how many other countries might get involved before the conflict ends? These are some of the questions they try to answer as the world waits to see what happens next.

Christiane also asks whether Trump's actions might encourage Putin to attempt a similar strike on Zelensky, and reveals what she's hearing from sources inside Iran about who might be involved if America does try to implement regime change.

On this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie are asked what the killing of ‘El Mencho’ - who was the boss of Mexico’s powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the country’s most wanted man - means for US–Mexico security cooperation and the future of joint anti-cartel strategy.

They also unpack Donald Trump’s latest U-turn on the Chagos Islands deal and are asked who’s got the stronger case - Trump, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer?
