Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast

Kuwait came under Iranian missile and drone attack before dawn as the US-Iran war widened again across the Gulf. Saudi Arabia intercepted ballistic missiles for the first time in weeks, Bahrain activated its air defences, and Kuwait International Airport suspended flights as explosions echoed across the region.Epic Fury examines Iran’s escalating strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia following a new wave of US attacks on Iranian military targets. We also break down the disputed wedding strike in Kuhestak, Iran’s threats of further retaliation, Trump’s warning of even larger strikes, the unresolved Strait of Hormuz blockade, Iran’s worsening fuel crisis, new US sanctions, and growing concerns over Iran’s unaccounted-for uranium stockpile.As missiles spread across the Gulf and diplomatic channels remain open but increasingly fragile, the question is whether this latest escalation marks another short exchange — or the beginning of a much wider phase of the war.Subscribe for daily episodes, and unlock exclusive bonus deep-dives on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

A US strike on Iran’s Larak Island has pushed the Strait of Hormuz back to the brink.As the US-Iran war enters its seventh month, American forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, near the strategic entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with a claimed missile and drone attack on American-linked bases in Jordan, while competing reports of tanker attacks, naval mines and intercepted drones added to growing uncertainty across the Gulf.In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the Larak Island strike, Iran’s response, and what the latest escalation could mean for the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets. We also examine President Trump’s AI-generated video appearing to show Iran’s Kharg Island under attack, Tehran’s disputed tanker claims, rising oil prices, and the dangerous mix of confirmed incidents and competing disinformation now shaping the conflict at sea.Plus: Iran, Russia and China meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit; Pakistan’s diplomatic proposal to Tehran; Iran’s worsening gasoline crisis; Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign; and the growing confrontation over Iran-backed militias in Iraq.The US-Iran war may have entered a slower phase, but Larak Island has shown how quickly the conflict can flare up again. With the Strait of Hormuz still under pressure, oil markets rising, and diplomacy struggling to gain traction, the path toward an end to this war remains as uncertain as ever.

The Strait of Hormuz could be reopening. Iran and Oman have announced a framework for a temporary shipping corridor and joint mine-clearing operation — but the waterway remains contested, commercial shipping is still under threat, and the US says its Navy has already cleared the mines.In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the latest Strait of Hormuz reopening plan, Iran and Oman's shipping corridor, tanker attacks, mine-clearing efforts and what the developments mean for global oil supplies and international shipping.We also examine US-Iran sanctions, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's latest pressure campaign against Tehran, China's response, Pakistan's mediation efforts, questions surrounding Iran's Supreme Leader, the Qatar-Iran pilot dispute, Iraq's militia disarmament deadline, and the latest developments in Lebanon, Gaza and the wider Middle East.

Economic D-Day is looming as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepares to unveil a major new Iran sanctions package — promising the toughest economic pressure Washington has ever imposed on Tehran.Bessent has described the coming Iran sanctions announcement as an “economic D-Day”, with the United States preparing to target the financial networks, banks, companies and oil trade that continue to support Iran. The objective is clear: use economic warfare to force Tehran into submission after months of military pressure failed to produce a decisive end to the US-Iran war.In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine what Bessent’s toughest Iran sanctions could mean for Iran’s economy, Iranian oil exports, international banks and companies doing business with Tehran. We also examine how Iran is preparing to respond, why China is rejecting Washington’s pressure, and whether the UAE and other Gulf states could join the sanctions campaign.The episode also tracks the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices, Iranian shipping, the UAE, China and the wider economic consequences of the US-Iran conflict.With the war approaching six months, Washington is making a major strategic shift from military force toward financial pressure. The question is whether Bessent’s sanctions can achieve what bombs and blockades have not — forcing Iran toward an end to the war.Epic Fury delivers daily US-Iran war news, Iran war updates, sanctions analysis, geopolitical developments, oil market coverage and the latest developments across the Middle East.Subscribe to follow the US-Iran war as it unfolds.

Iran and Oman agree on a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz — then within hours, explosions hit Qeshm Island and Iran launches strikes in the very waters it just promised to reopen. In Episode 162 of Epic Fury, the gap between diplomacy and reality is on full display.We break down the proposed Hormuz deal, including reports that Iran could gain effective control over transit routes, restrict US and Israeli vessels, and impose financial penalties on “hostile” shipping. But renewed violence has already shaken confidence, sending oil prices higher and raising fresh doubts about whether global energy flows can stabilise.On the battlefield, a major story emerges from Washington. Reports suggest the United States is facing serious munitions strain, with stockpiles of key systems like THAAD interceptors significantly depleted after months of sustained conflict. The White House pushes back hard — but independent analysis points to a deeper industrial challenge: can the US sustain this pace of war?We also examine rising tensions across the region, including expanding Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, militia threats in Iraq, and a growing political divide in Washington over war funding and oversight.And in today’s deep dive: Pickaxe Mountain.
