    Is Trump about to attack Iran? – The Latest

    1/29/2026 | 10 mins.
    Donald Trump says ‘time is running out’ for Iran as the threat of war appears to loom closer.

The US president had called on the Iranian regime to negotiate a deal on the future of its nuclear programme, only weeks after he promised Iranian protesters ‘help was on the way’ then backtracked days later. Nosheen Iqbal talks to the Guardian’s deputy head of international news, Devika Bhat, about what Trump could do next – watch on YouTube.
