This is a global news podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Janet Jalil and in the early hours of Saturday the 28th of March, these are our main stories. Top US officials say they're hopeful of talks with Iran in the coming days and expect the war in the Middle East to conclude in weeks, not months. The golf legend Tiger Woods is charged with driving under the influence after rolling his car in a crash in Florida. The personal email account of the head of the FBI is leaked by Iran-backed hackers.

Myös tämän podcastin jälkeen, mitä tapahtuu, jos otat elämäänsä aiheesta? Tällainen yksityiskohtainen aihe oli niin negatiivisia seurauksia ihmisten näkökulmasta ja julkaistuksista, että me löysimme, että se teki ihmisiä yksityiskohtaisempaa, vähemmän todennäköistä miettiä muita ihmisiä näkökulmasta.

Kuusi viikkoa sitten, kun he aloittivat vahvistamaan Irania, USA on vahvistanut enemmän kuin 10 000 vahvistusta maailmasta ja Israel on vahvistanut tuhansia vahvistuksia Teheran yksin. Mutta heidän toivojaan on, että vahvistus on vahvistettu, kun Iran jatkuu vastaamaan monimutkaisiin missailin- ja drone-vahvistuksiin Golf-järjestöihin ja Israeliin.

Kuukausia ihmisiä on tullut, suurin osa niistä Iranissa. Yhdysvallan puheenjohtaja Marco Rubio kertoi G7-meetingin Franseissa, että vaara voisi jatkaa vielä kaksi tai neljä viikkoa.

President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff has said he believes Tehran will hold talks in the days ahead. But given that Iran has successfully blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, causing global oil prices to shoot up and is still carrying out attacks on neighboring states,

I asked our veteran world affairs editor John Simpson, who has covered many of the major conflicts of the past half century, whether it was in America's gift to choose when this war ends.

We've done absolutely everything we needed. I mean, every time he speaks, he says that they've decimated Iran's capabilities. We can just walk away from this and leave Israel to the hard business of trying to smash Iran and get regime change there.

Toisaalta hän voi arvioida, että se ei ole suurta tarpeesta, että hän tarvitsee ison vahvistuksen, jossa kaikki sanoo, että Trumpi teki sen. Ja se tarkoittaa pysyä jatkuvasti ja saada sivuilta.

Se on se, että se on se, että se on se, että

Mutta se ei ole hänen päätöksensä. Se on yksi ihminen ja se yksi ihminen on Donald Trump.

And the things that will influence Donald Trump will be the stock market falls that we've seen in recent days, the oil price shooting up, and the fact that voters are growing increasingly disenchanted with him ahead of those midterm elections in November. These are all factors he's got to take into account. Do you think that if he was to end the war soon, he could recover in time and get back that support he may have lost? I don't think so. I don't think so. I think it'll be interpreted. I mean, even Fox News...

His favorite news station is carrying interviews with people who say it's not going well, it's not going to order. So I think there isn't enough time for people not only to go through the price rises, which are absolutely certain to come, but to allow enough time to pass for the prices to come down, and then after that for people to forget.

What happened? I mean, we're talking six, seven months. I don't think that's a possibility. And what of Iran? Is it now the military that is in charge, in particular the IRGC, rather than the mullahs or the politicians? I think really all along, actually, it's been the IRGC that's run things. They make decisions.

The politicians will still front it. Khalibaf, the speaker of the majlis in Iran, the parliament, he seems to be, according to everybody, the person that's doing the talking.

And there are others, as President Pezeskin, who's the elected supposed leader of the country, who we don't even hear from. So I'm sure that it's the IRGC that are really running the thing. And

You know, if there are talks, proper face-to-face talks, which I actually rather doubt at some stage, then whichever civilian it is that makes some kind of agreement, if that's possible, which again I don't think it really is.

The most likely thing I think is that the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guards would just simply say, not acceptable, not acceptable. They don't want a quick deal. They don't want to get out from under. That was, I think, President Trump's big misunderstanding. He thought that.

Ja se on se ongelma, jota aiemmin USA-presidentit ovat tehneet Irakissa ja Vietnässä.
