> Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked a ship in the Red Sea, causing deaths in what BBC describes as their first deadly strike of the US-Israel war with Iran so far. The report also says Donald Trump concealed himself in a catering truck and secretly changed planes after leaving a Nato summit because of threats from Iran. Lebanon alleges that Israeli strikes in the south targeted rescuers, leaving two people wounded and damaging an ambulance. The programme also examines calls by Iranian MPs for an overhaul.
