About this episode

The episode discusses the military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran despite a claimed ceasefire, highlighting the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.

International tensions took center stage as the U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz while both sides insisted a ceasefire is still in place. According to U.S. Central Command, American naval ships intercepted what were described as unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with targeted strikes, while Iran accused the U.S. of violating the truce first—raising global concerns due to the Strait’s importance as a major oil shipping route.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
