Episode Details

Iran has accused the United States of violating a ceasefire after American military strikes targeted Iranian boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and missile sites in southern Iran. The US maintains the strikes were defensive actions against threats to US vessels, while Iran has vowed to retaliate and claims to have shot down an American drone and fired at a US fighter jet. The escalation is further complicated by Israel's heavy bombardment of over 100 Hezbollah sites across southern Lebanon, raising concerns about the fragile peace negotiations between the US and Iran, which Tehran wants to include an end to fighting in Lebanon.
