Episode Details

U.S. and Iran have paused military strikes for two days amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, as both sides signal willingness to de-escalate through diplomacy while keeping force options open. Iran’s recent attacks on U.S. bases—including a deadly strike in Jordan—have heightened regional fears, while global oil prices climb. The U.S. maintains a naval blockade, redirecting ships through the strait, while Iran insists on managing shipping under an interim deal. Mediators push for a ceasefire, focusing on easing restrictions on vessel transit. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu heads to Washington for talks with Trump, following recent clashes with Hezbollah-backed forces in Lebanon, as U.S. efforts to calm the region continue.
