Play (46:07 min) From the show Reading time 1 min Why this war of Donald Trump's choosing? As the death and destruction widen in Iran and around the region, as oil and gas markets take fright, the US president’s reasons for launching what his administration dubs Operation Epic Fury continue to vary as do the stated scale and duration.
