Episode Details

Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of peace negotiations with Iran over its nuclear ambitions. The blockade, targeting ships using Iranian ports, aims to pressure Iran economically by stopping its oil exports, though Iran has warned any approach by warships would warrant a severe response. The escalation threatens the fragile two-week ceasefire and has sent stock markets and world economies into panic.
