Plattner addressed those controversies in today's Victory Speech.

And researchers have found a connection between smartphones and declining birth rates.

The US National Bureau of Economic Research studied birth rates around the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and found that while birth rates had already been falling, the iPhone was responsible for around 50% of the decline between 2007 and 2011.

The researchers gave three possible explanations that the iPhone was replacing in-person life, that the iPhone provided easier access to pornography and also that the new technology made it easier for people to access information on contraception.

Now it's time to get into our deep dive on the renewed hostilities in the Middle East.

Any peace deal or ceasefire now seems obsolete as Israel, the US and Iran all launch dangerous new attacks.

We speak with national security expert Jennifer Parker on why we should be concerned about the renewed hostilities and what may happen next.

Jen, thanks so much for joining us.

How concerned should we be about these latest developments with this increase in the escalation of conflict between the US and Iran?

Why would Iran be feeling like that at the moment?

What's going on?

So let's unpack what's happened over the last couple of days, because there has been critical developments, gents.

So over the weekend, literally, we saw the US president in the Oval Office almost saying the peace deal was closed, you know, negotiations were happening, they were going to get it over the line.

And then we've seen these attacks unfold between Israel and Iran, Iran and Israel, Iran against the US and then the US back against Iran.

And then just over the last couple of hours, our time in Australia, it looks like there are reports that Iran has hit a US naval base.

So what do you think is going to happen next, Jen?

You mentioned before that there is huge internal pressure on the US president.

We know the economic fallout is massive with the Strait of Hormuz, but also the enormous human casualties with this ongoing conflict.

What risks does he face by doing that, Jen?
