Episode Details

Xi Jinping arrives at the White House as Iran hangs over crucial US-China talks. With the Iran war entering a new phase, the Chinese president’s visit to Washington comes as the Strait of Hormuz remains at the centre of the global energy crisis, oil prices surge above $100 a barrel, and Tehran gives the United States a five-day window to respond to its demands.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down Xi Jinping’s Washington visit, what Iran means for the US-China relationship, and the latest developments across the conflict. We examine Iran’s deadline to the United States, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, attacks involving commercial shipping, the expanding Houthi offensive in Yemen, and the pressure building around Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping.

We also cover the latest US-Iran diplomatic contacts, Washington’s response to Tehran, the military situation around Iran and Yemen, new sanctions affecting Iranian airlines, rising oil prices and Treasury yields, and what the conflict means for the global economy.

With Xi Jinping at the White House and Iran at the centre of the conversation, the next stage of the US-Iran war could have consequences far beyond the Middle East.
