Episode Details

Iran’s missile strike toward Kuwait—shot down by Kuwaiti forces—adds fuel to an already volatile regional crisis, coming just hours after U.S. strikes on Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. calls Iran’s actions a ceasefire violation, especially given Kuwait’s alliance with Washington. President Trump insists Iran is “running on empty” in negotiations but remains optimistic a deal is near—one that would reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz and force Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Meanwhile, Iranian state media claims a peace framework exists, but the White House dismisses it as a fabrication, warning against trusting Iranian narratives. In response, the U.S. imposed fresh sanctions targeting a new Iranian agency overseeing shipping through the strait, signaling Tehran’s desperation under economic pressure. With global oil prices already soaring since the war began, experts warn recovery could take months—even after the strait reopens.
