Episode Details

Iran is reportedly reassessing potential strikes on U.S. assets in Europe and critical infrastructure in the Strait of Hormuz, as the Trump administration pivots from military engagement to sustained economic pressure. This comes amid reports of an Israeli strike on an airbase in Syria that raised concerns of rapid escalation, prompting calls for renewed deconfliction channels. Meanwhile, a pro-Palestinian organization has filed a criminal complaint in India against an Israeli reservist, alleging unlawful destruction of civilian property in Gaza. We'll also have updates on security incidents in the West Bank.
