Back to EpisodesUS Military Sinks Drug Boats, Escalates Tensions
Description
U.S. military forces conducted a controversial operation in the eastern Pacific, sinking two boats suspected of drug smuggling, resulting in five fatalities and one survivor. This action, part of the Trump administrations anti-trafficking push, has led to at least 168 deaths since early September. The legality and effectiveness of these sea attacks are questioned, as most fentanyl enters the U.S. via land from Mexico. Meanwhile, the military is shifting focus to the Middle East, with the Navy set to blockade Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz, following the collapse of ceasefire talks in Pakistan.
