Episode Details

Trump’s administration is escalating military pressure on Iran, planning new strikes targeting strategic sites and the Strait of Hormuz to force Tehran into negotiations — with threats to expand to power plants and bridges if talks fail. In a high-stakes Situation Room meeting with top brass, the White House confirmed four days of relentless U.S. strikes on Iranian air defenses and drone sites, aimed at protecting commercial shipping. Despite Iran’s recent attacks on seven merchant vessels — causing casualties — U.S. forces successfully escorted 300 ships through the Strait. Trump also reversed course on charging ships to transit the Strait, now favoring a naval blockade of Iranian ports with allied support, further fueling oil prices above $85 a barrel.
