Iran Will Never Give Up Hormuz
About this episode
Aimen discusses the breakdown of the US-Iran MoU and the implications for the Strait of Hormuz amidst renewed conflict in the Middle East.
The MoU with Iran has broken down, war has returned to the Middle East, and so Aimen walks us through the events since the war re-ignited on 7th July. More than anything, the fighting now focuses on the Strait of Hormuz. In Iran’s eyes, it has won control of the Strait as a spoil of war. In the rest of the world’s eyes, freedom of navigation through the Strait remains a cast-iron principle of international law. Aimen and Thomas discuss: Why the US–Iran MoU collapsed over control of the Strait of Hormuz Iran’s attacks on Gulf shipping and the return of the US naval blockade US strikes on Bandar Abbas and Iran’s coastal military infrastructure GCC retaliation: Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Jordan confront Iran Trump assassination threats and divisions inside the US administration Saudi Arabia’s internal debate over Iran and renewed war with the Houthis Houthi threats to close Bab al-Mandab and attack Saudi infrastructure Oman, NATO and Israel’s roles in the widening Iran war Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook…
