US Just Launched New Attacks Against Iran
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent escalation of military actions between the US and Iran, focusing on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
So it looks like we’re back at war with Iran. Or maybe more specifically, we’re in a war over the Strait of Hormuz. In just the past few days the US has struck around 300 targets and Iran has fired as many as 500 drones and missiles at US and allied locations in the region. Pretty clear the sole focus right now is the Strait of Hormuz. These strikes didn’t pick back up because of the Iranian nuclear program, their ballistic missile program or their support for proxies. It is because Iran exerted control over the key waterway.
