About this episode

The episode discusses the resumption of U.S. military strikes against Iran amid escalating tensions and stalled peace negotiations.

On Monday night, the U.S.  carried out  its third straight day of strikes against Iran, the latest in a series of military engagements that began last week. On Friday, President Donald Trump  notified  Congress that the U.S. had resumed military activities against Iran as of July 7, when U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)  reported  engaging in “retaliatory strikes” following Iran’s strikes on vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The resumption of military engagement follows weeks of increasing tensions as peace negotiations stalled. Ad-free podcasts are here!
