Episode Details

Iran has given the United States a 4-to-5-day deadline over the Strait of Hormuz as the war enters another critical phase. With Tehran threatening to keep Hormuz closed unless Washington accepts its conditions, oil prices have surged back above $105 a barrel — while a Senate vote to end US military involvement in Iran has failed.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down Iran’s Hormuz ultimatum, the latest US-Iran negotiations, and what Tehran could do if Washington rejects its demands. We examine the latest fighting in the Strait of Hormuz, the deadly attack on a commercial vessel, Iran’s threat to maintain control of the waterway, and the growing impact on global oil markets and energy security.

We also examine the latest US Senate War Powers vote, why 49 senators voted against the resolution to remove American forces from hostilities with Iran, and what the result means for the growing political pressure on President Donald Trump as fuel prices rise ahead of the US midterm elections.

Beyond Washington and Tehran, the conflict is spreading across the region. The Houthis have launched another missile barrage toward Saudi Arabia, while Iran warns that any new US strikes could open a wider front across the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

We also cover Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House, China’s position on the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz, rising US Treasury yields, global oil markets, and the key developments to watch as Iran’s deadline approaches.
