About this episode

The episode discusses the escalating tensions between the US and Iran following military actions in the Strait of Hormuz and the implications for a ceasefire.

The ceasefire between the US and Iran is being tested after both sides fired shots in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Donald Trump to decline to say if the truce remains in place. In addition, the United Arab Emirates, a US ally, said that its air defenses “engaged” 19 Iranian missiles and drones and that a drone attack caused a fire at an oil port in the Fujairah region.
