Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast

The Iran war is spreading deeper into the Gulf. Explosions were heard in Riyadh after Saudi Arabia issued an aerial threat alert, marking the first time the Saudi capital has been directly affected since the war in Yemen intensified. With the Houthis expanding their campaign and fighting escalating around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, Saudi Arabia is facing growing pressure as the regional conflict moves closer to its capital.

On today’s episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the attack on Riyadh, the escalating Saudi-Houthi conflict, and what it means for the wider US-Iran war.

We examine the growing threat to Saudi Arabia, the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, and reports of tankers being hit as commercial shipping faces unprecedented pressure. We also look at Iran’s latest military claims, the mobilisation of hundreds of thousands of volunteers in Tehran, and the latest developments around Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The episode also examines President Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman in Washington, as Gulf states seek answers over the expanding conflict and the threat to regional security.

Epic Fury provides a daily briefing on the US-Iran war, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, Yemen, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets and the geopolitical consequences of the conflict.

President Trump says he has a “big decision” coming on Iran as the US-Iran war enters a critical new phase. With six Gulf leaders heading to New York for talks with Trump, Washington is weighing its next move as diplomacy, military escalation and the future of the conflict collide.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Trump’s latest warning that he could choose between continuing the current blockade and sanctions strategy or launching a fresh, large-scale campaign against Iran. The timing is significant: Trump is preparing to meet leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman at the United Nations General Assembly.

We also examine the competing diplomatic signals coming from Washington and Tehran, including reports of potential US-Iran talks and Trump’s claim that Iran wants a deal. At the same time, Iranian officials are sending sharply different messages over negotiations, while President Masoud Pezeshkian faces another internal attempt to challenge his authority.

The battlefield remains relatively quiet, but tensions are building across the Middle East. We examine Iranian claims of downing American MQ-9 Reaper drones, renewed Houthi attacks in Yemen, the threat to Saudi oil infrastructure and the approaching deadline for US coalition forces to withdraw from Iraq.

The episode also explores the international fallout from the war, including Russia and China blocking the renewal of the United Nations panel monitoring Iran sanctions, new United Nations allegations concerning potential war crimes, and the latest developments surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme.

Meanwhile, the economic pressure on Iran continues to intensify as the rial falls, food inflation remains extreme and medicine shortages worsen. Oil markets are also watching Saudi Arabia’s damaged East-West pipeline and the race to restore exports before storage capacity at Yanbu becomes critical.

And with Chinese President Xi Jinping preparing to visit Washington, South Korea considering a role in securing the Strait of Hormuz, and the International Atomic Energy Agency continuing to face uncertainty over Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, the next few days could prove decisive.

Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast delivers daily analysis of the war, US foreign policy, Iran, Israel, the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, military developments and the geopolitics shaping the conflict.

The Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the first time in three years as the Iran war pushes oil prices higher and threatens to deepen pressure on the US economy. Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline remains shut, crude prices surge, and American fuel costs continue to climb.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the latest developments from the Iran war and what they mean for the United States.

The Fed’s rate hike comes as energy markets face growing disruption from the conflict. Saudi Arabia’s major pipeline to the Red Sea remains offline following an attack, forcing more oil toward the Strait of Hormuz and raising fresh concerns about global supply. Brent crude has surged, while US gasoline and diesel prices continue to rise.

We also examine the latest military developments around the Strait of Hormuz, including an encounter between Iranian boats and a US unmanned surface vessel, new claims surrounding attacks on commercial shipping, and the widening gap between official US statements and independent shipping data.

In Washington, the House passes another war powers resolution, the Pentagon reveals the staggering cost of the conflict, and a new assessment warns that the US military is facing significant missile-defense inventory shortages.

Meanwhile, Iran faces growing economic and political pressure, while the United Nations prepares for a crucial vote over international monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities. We also examine developments in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and the wider Middle East.

In this episode:
• Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the first time since 2023
• Iran war drives oil prices higher
• Saudi East-West oil pipeline remains shut
• US gasoline and diesel prices rise
• Strait of Hormuz shipping disruption
• US and Iranian military developments
• Pentagon reveals the cost of the Iran war

Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast delivers a daily briefing on the military, economic, political and geopolitical consequences of the Iran war — from Washington and Tehran to the Strait of Hormuz and global energy markets.

Saudi Arabia’s oil exports are under growing pressure as Yanbu, the kingdom’s key Red Sea crude export terminal, is suspended following the shutdown of the East-West pipeline. With two major routes that bypass the Strait of Hormuz effectively disrupted, the impact is already being felt across global oil markets.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the Yanbu shutdown, Saudi Arabia’s struggle to keep crude flowing, and the sharp rise in oil prices as the war squeezes energy supplies from multiple directions.

We also cover Iran’s claim that it shot down another American drone over the Strait of Hormuz, explosions reported on Qeshm Island, the unresolved attack on the tanker MT El Gaia, and the rapidly worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen as Houthi forces consolidate control around the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint.

Beyond the battlefield, we examine Iran’s diplomatic position, the stalled Hormuz shipping agreement, Washington’s growing weapons-stockpile problems, and a new Pentagon inspector general report revealing $33.4 billion in Operation Epic Fury spending, including $22.3 billion on munitions.

With the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb both severely constrained, Saudi Arabia is increasingly squeezed between two critical maritime chokepoints — and the consequences are spreading into global oil, fuel and shipping markets.

In this episode:
• Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu oil terminal shutdown
• East-West pipeline repairs and Saudi crude exports
• Oil prices surge as physical supply tightens
• Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb disruption
• Iran claims another US drone shoot-down
• Explosions reported on Qeshm Island
• Houthi control of Yemen’s Red Sea coast

The Iran war reaches a major new escalation as the Houthis seize control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline is forced offline for weeks.

In Episode 200 of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine how Iran-backed Houthi forces captured key positions around the Red Sea chokepoint, including Perim Island, potentially threatening one of the world’s most important shipping routes. At the same time, Saudi Arabia’s critical East-West Pipeline has suffered major damage, cutting off a key alternative route for Saudi oil exports after the Strait of Hormuz was closed.

We break down what the Houthi takeover of Bab el-Mandeb means for global shipping, Saudi oil exports, the Red Sea, and already-surging crude prices. We also examine the latest developments in Iraq after Saudi Arabia blamed Iran-backed militias for the pipeline attack, Washington’s decision not to strike the Houthis directly, and the growing pressure on Saudi Arabia to respond.

The episode also covers the stalled Oman-backed talks over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s position on negotiations, the latest US military and financial costs of the war, rising oil prices, and what the collapse of Saudi Arabia’s alternative oil routes could mean for the global economy.

In this episode:
• Houthis seize the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
• Perim Island and key Red Sea positions fall to Houthi forces
• Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline could remain offline for 3–5 weeks
• Iran-backed militias blamed for the Saudi pipeline attack
• Washington refuses to launch direct strikes against the Houthis — for now
• Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed
• Oil prices surge as fears of supply disruption grow
• Oman-backed Hormuz negotiations collapse
• US military and financial costs of the Iran war
• What happens next in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and global oil market

Oil jumps as a Saudi pipeline is hit, putting fresh pressure on global energy markets as the Iran war continues to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the drone attack that damaged Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline — the kingdom’s critical alternative route for exporting crude while the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. Brent crude surged above $106 a barrel as traders reacted to the threat to Saudi oil exports.

We also break down the collapse of planned Iran-Gulf talks in Oman, what the postponed Salalah meeting means for efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and why Washington continues to reject an Iranian-backed shipping arrangement.

Plus, Iraq begins reopening border crossings with Iran after the Saudi pipeline attack was traced to Iraqi territory, fighting intensifies around Yemen’s Red Sea coast, and the battle for control of the Bab al-Mandeb continues.

The episode also examines Iran’s diplomatic strategy, the United States position on Hormuz, the wider international response from BRICS and India, and the growing risks to global oil supplies as the conflict spreads across the Middle East.

In this episode:
• Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline attack
• Oil prices and the global energy market
• Iran and the Strait of Hormuz
• The postponed Iran-Gulf talks in Oman
• Iraq and the pipeline attack investigation

• The growing economic impact of the Iran war

Epic Fury delivers a daily, fact-focused briefing on the US-Iran war, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, the Strait of Hormuz, global oil markets and the wider Middle East conflict.

Iraq has admitted that the drones that struck Saudi Arabia’s critical East-West oil pipeline were launched from Iraqi territory — and President Donald Trump says he believes Iran was behind the attack.

In Episode 198 of Epic Fury, we examine the Saudi pipeline strike, Iraq’s crackdown on Iran-backed militias, and the growing risk that Iraqi territory becomes a major new front in the US-Iran war. Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has dismissed senior security officials and Iraq has closed two major border crossings with Iran as pressure mounts over who launched the drones.

We also examine Trump’s latest comments on Iran, his reported contacts with the Houthis, and his phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi movement is facing a government counteroffensive around Mokha after seizing key territory along the southern Red Sea coast. The fighting threatens to further disrupt shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints.

The episode also explores why Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline has become so strategically important after Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, how Iran-backed Iraqi militias operate with limited government control, and why Baghdad is struggling to prevent its territory from becoming a launchpad for attacks across the region.

We also cover the latest developments involving the US-Iran war, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran-backed militias, the Houthis, Yemen, the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, global oil markets, Israel-Lebanon tensions, and the wider geopolitical fallout from the conflict.

The Red Sea has just become another major flashpoint in the Iran war. Houthi forces have seized Mayyun Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, giving the Iran-aligned movement effective control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline and putting one of the world's most important shipping chokepoints under direct threat.

At almost the same time, Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline was hit by a drone attack traced to Iraqi territory, forcing the kingdom to shut down the crucial route designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. With both major maritime chokepoints in the region under pressure, the economic stakes of the war are rising rapidly.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the Houthi takeover of the Bab al-Mandeb, the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure, the fallout inside Iraq, and the growing role of Iran-aligned militias across the region. We also examine why Washington has decided against direct military strikes on the Houthis, despite Saudi pressure for US intervention.

The episode also covers the latest escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the delay to US-mediated Israel-Lebanon talks, Iran's continuing strategy through its regional allies, rising oil and diesel prices, new US inflation data, and the implications for global energy markets.

With the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb simultaneously under hostile pressure, the conflict is no longer simply a war between the United States, Israel and Iran. It is increasingly becoming a wider struggle over the world's critical energy and shipping routes.

The Iran war widens again as Houthi forces seize Yemen’s historic Red Sea port of Mocha, pushing closer to the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait and threatening another vital global shipping chokepoint. The United Nations responds with an emergency Security Council session as fighting intensifies across Yemen.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the Houthi capture of Mocha, the collapse of another government position on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, and what control of the area could mean for shipping between the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. With Houthi forces reportedly advancing toward Dhubab and the Hanish Islands, the war is creating a dangerous second maritime front alongside the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

We also examine confirmation that Iranian missiles damaged American military aircraft at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, including an A-10 Thunderbolt and F-15E Strike Eagles, as well as the latest unexplained explosions along Iran’s Hormozgan coast.

Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia intensifies its campaign against the Houthis, Iran’s promised restricted maritime zone around the Strait of Hormuz remains delayed, and Tehran continues to challenge the International Atomic Energy Agency’s referral of its nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council.

The episode also covers President Trump’s latest comments on the war, including his warning over Iran’s suspected underground Pickaxe Mountain facility and his prediction that the conflict could end after the US midterm elections.

Plus, oil prices surge as markets react to the expanding conflict, Israel-Hezbollah tensions continue in southern Lebanon, and we explain why the Bab al-Mandeb Strait could become the next major flashpoint in the US-Iran war.

Epic Fury provides a daily, independent-style briefing on the US-Iran war, Iran, Israel, Yemen, the Houthis, the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea shipping, Middle East geopolitics, military developments and the global economic impact of the conflict.

President Donald Trump has tied the end of the US-Iran War to the November midterm elections, saying he expects the conflict to end immediately after the vote. But as Washington looks toward a possible endgame, the fighting is escalating across the Gulf and the diplomatic pressure on Iran is intensifying.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine Trump's latest comments on the Iran war, the growing political significance of the November midterms, and Washington's changing approach to negotiations with Tehran. We also break down the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision to refer Iran to the United Nations Security Council over its nuclear obligations — the first such referral in twenty years.

Meanwhile, the US-Iran tanker war is intensifying. US Central Command says American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, bringing the number destroyed in the past week to ten, while Iran claimed it had struck US warships and additional tankers. CENTCOM rejected those claims. With Brent crude rising above $100 a barrel, the conflict is increasingly affecting global oil markets and the wider economy.

We also examine Iran's ballistic missile attack on a US-linked base in Jordan, the continued disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, growing political divisions inside Iran, Hassan Rouhani's calls for public debate over the war, and the escalating Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen.

The episode also looks at new satellite imagery of Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, Trump's warning that the facility could be targeted, the unresolved US emergency defence spending request, pressure on China over Iranian oil purchases, and the planned US-China summit.

Six months into the conflict, the question is no longer simply whether the war can end. It is whether Washington, Tehran and their regional adversaries can reach an agreement before military escalation, nuclear tensions and political pressure make a negotiated end even harder.

The US-Iran War escalated sharply as American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while Iran claimed it had seized an advanced American underwater drone near the Strait of Hormuz.

At the same time, the Houthi movement launched a major missile and drone barrage against Saudi Arabia, striking energy infrastructure and military targets and wounding dozens. The attacks threaten to widen the war beyond Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, putting Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure and global energy markets under further pressure.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the latest escalation in the tanker war, Iran's claims over the captured American underwater vehicle, and the growing Houthi front in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

We also examine the deepening political crisis inside Iran, where former President Hassan Rouhani's calls for an end to the war have triggered an increasingly aggressive backlash from hardline factions and Iranian media.

Plus: Britain's new sanctions on Iran, the latest US pressure campaign, rising oil prices, disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the upcoming US-mediated Lebanon talks, and the growing economic and military costs of the conflict.

Iran doubles gasoline prices for heavy users as economic pressure mounts, while former President Hassan Rouhani reignites an internal debate over whether Tehran should continue the war.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine Iran's new fuel price increase, the risk of renewed domestic unrest, and Rouhani's call for a dignified end to the conflict and greater public involvement in deciding whether the war should continue.

We also examine the latest US-Iran military confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz, including competing Iranian and American claims over attacks on US naval vessels, Iran's reported missile test claims, and the movement of Iranian oil tankers through the contested waterway.

The episode also explores the growing political divide inside Iran between figures pushing for an end to the war and hardliners demanding continued resistance, as well as the economic impact of the Hormuz crisis, rising oil prices, US sanctions, and pressure on global energy markets.

Plus: the latest developments involving the United States, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, the Revolutionary Guard, the Pentagon, and the wider geopolitical consequences of the US-Iran war.

Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast delivers a daily analysis of the military, political, economic and diplomatic developments shaping the conflict.

Iran claims it test-fired a new missile over a US aircraft carrier as the tanker war in the Gulf escalates. The United States says its forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after Iran fired ballistic missiles toward an American aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the latest US-Iran military escalation, Iran's unverified claim that an anti-destroyer missile passed over a US carrier, and Tehran's warning that it will impose a new restricted zone around the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has also claimed strikes on six vessels, although those reports remain unverified. Meanwhile, Iranian officials are preparing a new shipping corridor with Oman, while the United States continues to challenge Iran's control over commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

We also examine Iran's decision to raise gasoline prices for heavy users, growing Republican pressure on War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Israel's claimed control of the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, new US and European sanctions on Iran, and the latest developments affecting global oil markets.

The US has sunk an Iranian oil tanker after launching strikes on three Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Oman, escalating the conflict in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, claims it responded within hours by targeting six additional ships, including oil tankers and vessels linked to the United States.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the latest US strikes on Iran's oil tanker fleet, the sinking of the M/T Kylo, Iran's claimed retaliation, and the growing risk of a wider maritime conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.

We also examine the impact on global shipping and oil markets, Israel's capture of the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, Iran's warning of further escalation, the political pressure facing War Secretary Pete Hegseth, new US sanctions targeting Iran's financial network, Tehran's worsening fuel crisis, stalled diplomacy over reopening Hormuz, and the latest developments in Iraq.

With direct US-Iran military exchanges returning to one of the world's most important oil chokepoints, this episode examines whether the tanker war is becoming the next major phase of the conflict.

Reuters forensic analysis has pointed to an American weapon as the likely cause of the deadly wedding strike in Kuhestak, Iran, raising new questions over US responsibility for one of the worst civilian casualty incidents of the war.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the evidence from the Kuhestak wedding strike and what it could mean for Washington and Tehran. We also examine Israel's capture of Hezbollah's Ali al-Taher underground stronghold — the exact position Iran had privately warned could trigger a large-scale response — and why Tehran has so far shown no sign of acting on that threat.

Plus: President Trump hints at possible strikes on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility, eighteen American service members confirmed killed in the war, Howard Lutnick forced to apologise after falsely claiming no Americans had died, growing pressure on Pete Hegseth, Iran's worsening fuel and currency crisis, new US sanctions, Pakistan's diplomatic proposal, Russia's backing for Tehran, and the latest battle over the Strait of Hormuz.

JD Vance responds to growing questions over a deadly strike on a wedding party in Iran as the US-Iran war enters a dangerous new phase. Iran expands its retaliation campaign, striking American-linked targets in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, while Washington and Tehran offer sharply different accounts of who controls the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the reported civilian deaths, Iran’s referral of the wedding strike to the International Criminal Court, Vance’s controversial comments on whether the conflict should even be called a war, and Donald Trump’s warning that the United States can strike Iran again at any time.

We also examine Benjamin Netanyahu’s increasingly explicit push for regime change in Tehran, Iran’s threats of asymmetric retaliation, the growing political pressure on the Trump administration, the dispute over shipping and oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and the diplomatic proposal still sitting unanswered in Tehran.

From Kuwait and the UAE to Tehran, Washington and the Strait of Hormuz, this is the latest US-Iran war update.

Kuwait came under Iranian missile and drone attack before dawn as the US-Iran war widened again across the Gulf. Saudi Arabia intercepted ballistic missiles for the first time in weeks, Bahrain activated its air defences, and Kuwait International Airport suspended flights as explosions echoed across the region.

Epic Fury examines Iran’s escalating strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia following a new wave of US attacks on Iranian military targets. We also break down the disputed wedding strike in Kuhestak, Iran’s threats of further retaliation, Trump’s warning of even larger strikes, the unresolved Strait of Hormuz blockade, Iran’s worsening fuel crisis, new US sanctions, and growing concerns over Iran’s unaccounted-for uranium stockpile.

As missiles spread across the Gulf and diplomatic channels remain open but increasingly fragile, the question is whether this latest escalation marks another short exchange — or the beginning of a much wider phase of the war.

The United States has struck Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets for the second time in three days after two oil tankers were hit by unidentified projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with missiles and drones targeting Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, marking another sharp escalation six months into the US-Iran war.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the latest US strikes on IRGC air defences, radar systems and maritime targets, the attacks on shipping in Hormuz, and Iran’s widening campaign across the Gulf. We also examine Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump’s threat of a larger response, new Iranian diplomatic moves involving Russia and China, the collapsing rial, Iran’s growing fuel crisis, fresh US sanctions, and the impact of renewed conflict on global oil markets.

As missiles fly across the Middle East and both sides threaten further escalation, is this the beginning of a new phase in the war — or another dangerous cycle in a conflict neither side has been able to end?

A US strike on Iran’s Larak Island has pushed the Strait of Hormuz back to the brink.

As the US-Iran war enters its seventh month, American forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, near the strategic entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with a claimed missile and drone attack on American-linked bases in Jordan, while competing reports of tanker attacks, naval mines and intercepted drones added to growing uncertainty across the Gulf.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the Larak Island strike, Iran’s response, and what the latest escalation could mean for the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets. We also examine President Trump’s AI-generated video appearing to show Iran’s Kharg Island under attack, Tehran’s disputed tanker claims, rising oil prices, and the dangerous mix of confirmed incidents and competing disinformation now shaping the conflict at sea.

Plus: Iran, Russia and China meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit; Pakistan’s diplomatic proposal to Tehran; Iran’s worsening gasoline crisis; Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign; and the growing confrontation over Iran-backed militias in Iraq.

The US-Iran war may have entered a slower phase, but Larak Island has shown how quickly the conflict can flare up again. With the Strait of Hormuz still under pressure, oil markets rising, and diplomacy struggling to gain traction, the path toward an end to this war remains as uncertain as ever.

The United States has struck Iran again after more than a month of relative quiet, targeting Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran responded within hours, launching missiles and drones toward US-operated bases in Jordan.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the renewed exchange of fire between the United States and Iran, why CENTCOM says it struck Larak Island, Iran’s claimed retaliation against King Hussein Air Base and Al-Azraq Air Base, and whether this marks the beginning of a wider escalation after weeks of relative restraint.

We also examine the US naval blockade and mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, Operation Economic Outcast and Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign, rising oil prices, Iran’s worsening gasoline shortage, divisions inside Tehran over reopening Hormuz, and the latest US proposal delivered through Pakistan’s military chief, Asim Munir.

Plus: Pezeshkian and Putin meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, Iraq’s unresolved militia disarmament crisis, stalled Lebanon negotiations, and the growing pressure on Iran’s economy six months into the war.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issues a warning to the Muslim world as Tehran hardens its position on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the waterway will remain closed, while a US proposal delivered through Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, still has no formal response from Tehran.

Meanwhile, Operation Economic Outcast is beginning to hit Iran’s economy. Long petrol queues are forming across Tehran, gasoline supplies are under growing pressure, the rial has fallen to fresh lows, and Washington is expanding its sanctions campaign.

Also in this episode: the battle over militia disarmament in Iraq, Iran’s diplomatic push at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, the latest on Russia, China and Tehran, and what the deepening economic pressure could mean for the next phase of the US-Iran war.

Six months into Operation Epic Fury, the conflict is increasingly becoming a war of economic pressure, political leverage and endurance.

Qatar’s prime minister travels to Tehran for crucial talks with Iran as negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz and a potential shipping corridor gather momentum. At the same time, Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir delivers a US proposal directly to Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei, outlining Washington’s terms for ending the blockade and easing economic pressure on Tehran.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down Qatar’s Tehran talks, Munir’s US offer to Rezaei, the battle over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s escalating “Economic D-Day” campaign against Iran. We also examine Iran’s collapsing currency, new US sanctions targeting Iranian oil and sanctions evasion, Iraqi militias refusing to disarm, the latest negotiations over Gaza and Lebanon, and President Masoud Pezeshkian’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Six months into the US-Iran War, Iran’s currency has crashed beyond two million rials to the US dollar as economic pressure, sanctions and the Strait of Hormuz blockade push Tehran deeper into crisis.

In this episode of Epic Fury, Qatar’s prime minister makes the first high-level visit to Tehran since the war began, while Pakistan’s army chief reportedly delivers a formal US offer to Iran’s leadership. We examine the uncertain Iran-Oman agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, fresh tanker attacks, Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign, and the growing pressure on Iran’s economy.

We also cover the deepening diplomatic push involving Qatar, Pakistan, Oman and Russia, Trump and Netanyahu’s hardline stance on negotiations, tensions in Iraq and Lebanon, Iran’s upcoming talks with Vladimir Putin, and what the next phase of this six-month conflict could look like.

Is Iran moving towards a deal — or is the economic crisis, the battle over the Strait of Hormuz and the failure to resolve the war’s biggest disputes pushing the conflict towards another escalation?

Iran and Oman appear to be sending conflicting signals over a proposed Strait of Hormuz shipping deal as a tanker catches fire in the waterway for the second time in days. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the disputed Hormuz corridor, renewed attacks on commercial shipping, Trump’s warning that the war could continue, and the growing pressure on Iran as US sanctions hit its economy.

We also cover Iran’s collapsing rial, China’s response to Washington’s sanctions campaign, Qatar’s new diplomatic push in Tehran, Iran’s nuclear inspection dispute, Pakistan’s mediation efforts, Iraq’s militia crisis, and the latest developments in Gaza and Lebanon.

The US-Iran war may be moving away from the battlefield, but the fight over shipping, sanctions and diplomacy is becoming increasingly dangerous.

The Strait of Hormuz could be reopening. Iran and Oman have announced a framework for a temporary shipping corridor and joint mine-clearing operation — but the waterway remains contested, commercial shipping is still under threat, and the US says its Navy has already cleared the mines.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the latest Strait of Hormuz reopening plan, Iran and Oman's shipping corridor, tanker attacks, mine-clearing efforts and what the developments mean for global oil supplies and international shipping.

We also examine US-Iran sanctions, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's latest pressure campaign against Tehran, China's response, Pakistan's mediation efforts, questions surrounding Iran's Supreme Leader, the Qatar-Iran pilot dispute, Iraq's militia disarmament deadline, and the latest developments in Lebanon, Gaza and the wider Middle East.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has unveiled a major new US sanctions package targeting Iran, expanding Washington’s economic pressure campaign against Tehran.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Bessent’s “Economic D-Day” announcement, including new sanctions targeting Iran’s oil smuggling, shipping, technology, gold, aviation and digital assets. We break down what Washington actually announced, what was held back, and why the toughest financial measures may still be coming.

We also examine Iran’s response, China’s rejection of US pressure, the risk of secondary sanctions against Chinese banks and other trading partners, and what the latest measures could mean for Iran’s economy, oil markets and the wider war.

The episode also covers the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian oil exports, shipping risks, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Qatar and the detained Iranian pilots, as well as the diplomatic efforts that could determine what happens next.

Economic D-Day is looming as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepares to unveil a major new Iran sanctions package — promising the toughest economic pressure Washington has ever imposed on Tehran.

Bessent has described the coming Iran sanctions announcement as an “economic D-Day”, with the United States preparing to target the financial networks, banks, companies and oil trade that continue to support Iran. The objective is clear: use economic warfare to force Tehran into submission after months of military pressure failed to produce a decisive end to the US-Iran war.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine what Bessent’s toughest Iran sanctions could mean for Iran’s economy, Iranian oil exports, international banks and companies doing business with Tehran. We also examine how Iran is preparing to respond, why China is rejecting Washington’s pressure, and whether the UAE and other Gulf states could join the sanctions campaign.

The episode also tracks the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices, Iranian shipping, the UAE, China and the wider economic consequences of the US-Iran conflict.

With the war approaching six months, Washington is making a major strategic shift from military force toward financial pressure. The question is whether Bessent’s sanctions can achieve what bombs and blockades have not — forcing Iran toward an end to the war.

The US is preparing its toughest Iran sanctions yet as the US-Iran war enters a critical new phase. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to unveil a sweeping new sanctions package targeting Iran, with Washington promising unprecedented economic pressure on Tehran.

But Iran is sending a different signal. President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran could bring the Iran war to an end while claiming victory and insisting any settlement must come on Iran's terms. Meanwhile, China rejects US pressure over its continued purchases of Iranian oil.

In this Iran war update, we examine the new US sanctions on Iran, China's response, Iran's diplomatic signals, and whether economic warfare can succeed where military strikes have failed.

We also break down the latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz, shipping and oil markets, Iran's control over maritime traffic, the growing pressure on Iraq and Iranian-backed militias, and the wider Middle East conflict.

This is Episode 177 of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast — your daily briefing on the Iran war, US military strategy, sanctions, geopolitics, oil markets and the rapidly changing Middle East.

The United States has unveiled plans for its toughest sanctions campaign against Iran yet, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning that Washington wants to economically isolate Tehran and “collapse this regime.” The new measures are expected to be announced Monday and could target Iranian oil revenues, Chinese refiners, financial networks and countries continuing to trade with Iran.

In Episode 175 of Epic Fury, we examine the expanding economic war against Iran, the US designation tying Hezbollah more explicitly to Tehran and the latest developments around the naval blockade of Iran.

We also cover the arrival of the USS George Washington to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln after more than 250 days at sea, the latest US blockade figures, the continuing dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, and the UAE's suspension of trade and financial transactions with Iran following the August 18 missile incident.

The episode also examines the collapse of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, Trump's threat against Oman, the September 30 Iraqi militia disarmament deadline, tensions involving Kataib Hezbollah, the unresolved drone attack on Kurdish leader Masrour Barzani's office, and uncertainty surrounding Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

The UAE has severed all trade, commercial exchange and financial ties with Iran following a missile alert that reignited tensions across the Gulf. Iran denies launching the missiles, but the economic rupture threatens one of Tehran’s most important commercial lifelines.

Meanwhile, President Trump claims the Strait of Hormuz is open and operating — but shipping data tells a very different story. Vessel crossings remain dramatically below pre-war levels, Iran says the strait is still blocked, and a cargo ship was attacked while attempting to leave the waterway.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the UAE-Iran economic break, the growing dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Trump’s threat against Oman, and reports of an emerging Iran-Oman shipping arrangement. We also cover the collapse of the sixty-day US-Iran negotiating window, Washington’s threatened new economic pressure on Tehran, the unresolved drone attack in Iraqi Kurdistan, Gaza ceasefire talks, Lebanon’s disarmament negotiations, Iraq’s September militia deadline, rising oil prices, depleted US missile interceptor stocks, and the latest US carrier movements.

Iran is accused of firing two ballistic missiles toward the United Arab Emirates as tensions across the Gulf reach a new level. Iran denies the allegation, but hours later the UAE suspends all trade, commercial exchange and financial transactions with Tehran.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says there are no talks with Iran and none are scheduled, as the sixty-day diplomatic window expires without a new agreement. Iran signals a shift toward a fully offensive military posture, while the Strait of Hormuz remains heavily restricted and commercial shipping continues to face attacks and disruption.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the growing Iran-UAE crisis, the collapse of US-Iran diplomacy, the escalating threat around the Strait of Hormuz, Trump's threat toward Oman, Washington's planned economic pressure campaign, and what the widening conflict means for oil markets and global shipping.

We also cover the latest developments in Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq, including the future of US-Iran back-channel contacts, rising tensions involving Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan, and the continuing questions surrounding Iran's leadership.

The US-Iran sixty-day deal has expired — and no new agreement is in place.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine what happens after the June agreement's sixty-day negotiating window closes without a lasting settlement. Washington and Tehran remain divided over the future of the Iran nuclear program, sanctions, the Strait of Hormuz and the terms required to formally end the war.

Violence is escalating in southern Lebanon as Israeli strikes kill eleven people, in the deadliest attack since the June ceasefire framework took hold. The strikes threaten to further complicate upcoming negotiations between Israel and Lebanon and raise fresh questions about the stability of the wider regional conflict.

Meanwhile, Iran is hardening its position on negotiations with the United States. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran has not decided to restart talks, while mediators from Qatar and Pakistan continue exchanging messages with Iran. Tehran is also maintaining a separate technical effort with Oman to establish new shipping routes.

In Washington, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the administration is preparing unprecedented economic measures against Iran, combining financial pressure with the ongoing blockade. The measures are expected to target Iranian financial assets and further increase pressure on Tehran.

The episode also examines the growing dispute over Iran-backed militias in Iraq, continued Houthi attacks around the Red Sea, the latest Gaza diplomacy, mounting pressure on global oil supplies, and what to watch as the conflict enters another critical week.

President Donald Trump says the United States will claim the Strait of Hormuz as American territory after the war with Iran — a remarkable declaration that Tehran has immediately rejected.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Trump's latest escalation, Iran's response, and the growing confrontation over who controls the world's most strategically important oil chokepoint.

We also cover:

With the Strait of Hormuz still effectively paralysed, the US blockade continuing and Iran refusing to back down, the central question is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid:

Who actually controls Hormuz — and how far is Washington prepared to go to prove it?

This episode is based on reporting and information available as of August 15, 2026.

The US says its naval blockade of Iran can continue indefinitely, as the Strait of Hormuz becomes the central pressure point in the war. Two UAE-linked tankers have been attacked, shipping through Hormuz has collapsed, and Iran is moving to formalise restrictions on vessels linked to the United States and Israel.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the escalating battle over the Strait of Hormuz, the US blockade strategy, Iran’s response, and the growing cost to global shipping and energy markets.

We cover:

• Why the Pentagon says the Iran blockade can continue indefinitely
• Trump’s claim that the US has control of the Strait of Hormuz
• Iran’s counterclaim and proposed legislation restricting shipping
• Two ADNOC tankers attacked in the latest escalation
• The collapse in commercial shipping through Hormuz
• Oil spills and the growing environmental cost of the conflict
• Pressure on the USS Abraham Lincoln and US naval forces
• US Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles

• Iran’s demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz
• US inflation, oil prices and Wall Street’s reaction

The central question is becoming harder to ignore: Is the Strait of Hormuz still a temporary bargaining chip — or is the US-Iran blockade becoming a permanent feature of the conflict?

This is Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, your daily briefing on the US-Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, military developments and the geopolitical consequences of the conflict.

Iran signals it could prolong the US-Iran war and attempt to outlast President Donald Trump, while Washington maintains economic pressure through its naval blockade and sanctions campaign.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Iran’s strategy for a potentially prolonged conflict, the growing pressure on Tehran’s economy, and the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea shipping.

We cover General Mohammad Reza Naqdi’s warning that Iran could pursue a war of attrition lasting into the next US presidential term, including his claims about Iran’s missile production and remaining military capacity. We also examine President Trump’s response, Iran’s worsening inflation and the continuing impact of the American blockade on Iranian ports.

The global energy picture is becoming increasingly serious. The International Energy Agency warns that global oil inventories are being rapidly depleted, with the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz creating a growing supply deficit. We examine what shrinking oil reserves could mean for crude prices, gasoline prices and the wider global economy.

The episode also covers the deadly Houthi attack on the commercial vessel Tihamah in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which killed six crew members, as well as the latest incident involving the Vela Nova in the Gulf of Oman.

Also covered:

The US-Iran war enters another critical phase as American forces strike an Iran-bound container ship in the Gulf of Oman while diplomatic efforts through Pakistan point toward a possible peace arrangement.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the US naval blockade of Iran, the strike on the Vela Nova, and the growing contradiction between battlefield escalation and diplomatic progress. We also examine President Donald Trump's demand that Iran pay war reparations for Americans killed and wounded in conflicts linked to Tehran, and Iran's response.

We cover the latest developments across the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman and Red Sea, including Houthi attacks on shipping, pressure on Saudi Arabia, Iran's conditions for reopening Hormuz, and the proposed Iran-Oman shipping corridor.

We also examine Trump's shift toward economic pressure, falling US Strategic Petroleum Reserve stocks, rising oil prices, inflation risks, Iran's military leadership, developments in Gaza and Syria, and the wider geopolitical consequences of the conflict.

Trump demands Iran pay for the human and economic costs of the war as Tehran carries out a sweeping reshuffle of its military and security leadership.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Iran's appointment of new military commanders and the return of veteran IRGC figures to senior positions, including Mohsen Rezaee as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. The reshuffle points to a harder security posture in Tehran as negotiations with Washington continue.

We also examine the latest Strait of Hormuz standoff. Iran says the waterway cannot fully reopen while the US naval blockade remains in place, while Washington is demanding compensation from Tehran. Oil markets reacted immediately, with Brent crude and WTI rising sharply as hopes for a lasting Hormuz agreement weakened.

The episode also covers escalating Houthi attacks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the growing dispute over the disarmament of Iran-backed militias in Iraq, the widening disagreement between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu over Gaza, and the unresolved question of Iran's underground Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility.

Today's key developments:
• Trump demands compensation from Iran for wartime deaths and damage
• Iran reshuffles its military and security command
• Strait of Hormuz negotiations remain unresolved
• Oil prices jump as traders reassess the risk to Gulf shipping
• Houthi attacks and threats against Saudi Arabia escalate
• Iraq's deadline for Iran-backed militias to disarm approaches
• Trump and Netanyahu remain divided over Gaza
• Questions remain over Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility

Epic Fury provides a daily briefing on the US-Iran war, Iran, Israel, the Middle East, Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, US military strategy and the geopolitical consequences of the conflict.

Iran reshuffles its top security command in a move that signals growing pressure inside Tehran. Yemen’s fragile truce edges toward collapse after a surge in Houthi strikes across the Red Sea coast. And in Washington, the United States shifts strategy — keeping pressure on Iran while stepping back from direct escalation.

In Episode 164 of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the most critical developments shaping the conflict right now:

• Iran’s leadership shake-up and what it reveals about internal divisions
• Yemen’s escalating violence and the risk of a wider regional war
• The latest on Hormuz negotiations and global shipping tensions
• US military strategy, missile stockpile pressure, and defence production urgency
• Saudi alliances, Israel’s posture, and rising geopolitical fault lines

From Tehran to the Red Sea to Washington, this episode delivers a clear, factual analysis of the forces driving the war forward — and what to watch next.

In today’s episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, Oman-mediated negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz move closer to a potential framework, but key conditions from Iran’s security establishment continue to complicate any full reopening of global shipping lanes.

At the same time, Saudi Arabia raises a serious security assessment, warning of possible coordinated attacks involving drones and missiles across multiple fronts — a development that could significantly widen the regional conflict.

In Washington, attention turns to the growing strain on US missile stockpiles. New analysis suggests interceptor inventories are tightening after months of sustained operations, raising questions about long-term readiness and the limits of America’s defence industrial base.

We also cover:
– The latest on Hormuz shipping corridor negotiations
– Rising risks across the Gulf and Red Sea
– The evolving Iran nuclear picture and Pickaxe Mountain
– Regional defence realignments and the new trilateral pact
– What falling US missile inventories mean for the wider war

If you want clear, factual, no-noise analysis of the Iran war, this is your daily briefing.

Iran and Oman agree on a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz — then within hours, explosions hit Qeshm Island and Iran launches strikes in the very waters it just promised to reopen. In Episode 162 of Epic Fury, the gap between diplomacy and reality is on full display.

We break down the proposed Hormuz deal, including reports that Iran could gain effective control over transit routes, restrict US and Israeli vessels, and impose financial penalties on “hostile” shipping. But renewed violence has already shaken confidence, sending oil prices higher and raising fresh doubts about whether global energy flows can stabilise.

On the battlefield, a major story emerges from Washington. Reports suggest the United States is facing serious munitions strain, with stockpiles of key systems like THAAD interceptors significantly depleted after months of sustained conflict. The White House pushes back hard — but independent analysis points to a deeper industrial challenge: can the US sustain this pace of war?

We also examine rising tensions across the region, including expanding Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, militia threats in Iraq, and a growing political divide in Washington over war funding and oversight.

And in today’s deep dive: Pickaxe Mountain. A heavily fortified site near Iran’s Natanz nuclear complex that may house advanced enrichment capabilities deep underground. With President Trump openly discussing a potential strike, this location could become the next flashpoint in a war already pushing toward a wider escalation.

This episode covers:
– The Iran–Oman Hormuz corridor agreement and what it really means
– Qeshm Island explosions and renewed maritime risk
– US weapons stockpile pressure and defence industrial limits
– Oil market reaction and global energy implications
– Houthi expansion and regional escalation
– The strategic importance of Pickaxe Mountain

In Episode 160 of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the reported confrontation inside the White House over dwindling munitions, the latest Oman-led negotiations between Iran and the United States, Israel's increasingly independent stance, renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, Lebanon ceasefire talks, and what all of it means for global oil markets, military strategy, and the future of the conflict.

Trump claims negotiations with Iran are underway. Tehran insists there are no talks. In Episode 158 ofEpic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the latest developments as diplomatic claims collide with official denials, the Strait of Hormuz sees a gradual increase in shipping traffic, and the risk of renewed escalation remains high.

The United States backs away from what could have been the largest strike of the Iran war as President Trump pauses plans for a major bombing campaign and announces that US-Iran talks are set to resume.

The US-Iran war has entered a dangerous new phase. After Iran launched ballistic missiles toward a US military base in Jordan, the United States responded with a major wave of airstrikes targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities across Iran.

President Donald Trump unexpectedly softens his threat of a massive military strike against Iran just one day after warning of the largest US attack of the war. As diplomacy hangs by a thread, Iran rejects a new ceasefire proposal, US-led airstrikes continue for a thirteenth consecutive night, and the conflict pushes global oil prices above $100 per barrel.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the latest developments in the US-Iran war, including President Trump's changing strategy, Iran's refusal to accept an Iraqi-backed peace proposal, CENTCOM's latest strikes on Iranian military command centres, and Tehran's expanding retaliation across Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq.

We also examine the return of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, including missile and drone strikes on Saudi oil tankers, the growing threat to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and why energy markets fear a disruption to both the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea shipping routes. Plus, we analyse Brent crude topping $100, the latest US casualty figures, Trump's warning over Iran's frozen assets, the battle in Congress over war funding, Lebanon's diplomatic role, and the renewed focus on Iran's underground nuclear facilities.

On the battlefield, the United States launches a thirteenth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran while President Trump signals he is moving closer to a major attack on the heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility. We examine the military strategy, the risks of escalation, and the latest intelligence surrounding Iran's nuclear programme.

The conflict expands at sea as Yemen's Houthi movement resumes attacks on commercial shipping, striking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and opening a second maritime front alongside the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States and Iran have agreed to stand down after the most dangerous seventy-two hours since the ceasefire, but the conflict is far from over. Following three rounds of US strikes on Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian missile attacks on American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, both sides have paused military operations ahead of emergency talks in Doha.

In this episode, we break down how the latest escalation unfolded, why CENTCOM targeted Iran's surveillance and minelaying infrastructure, the attack on the Kiku oil tanker carrying Qatari crude, and what the sudden stand-down means for the future of the ceasefire. We also examine Iran's insistence that it retains control of the Strait of Hormuz, the growing dispute over the Memorandum of Understanding, delayed nuclear negotiations, and why the next forty-eight hours could determine whether diplomacy survives or the conflict returns to open war.

We also cover the White House's latest strategy meeting, Trump's war funding request, Lebanon's worsening security crisis, global oil markets, commercial shipping through Hormuz, and the high-stakes diplomatic negotiations that could reshape the Middle East.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the attack on the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely, the drone strike on the Panama-flagged oil tanker Kiku, and how repeated attacks on international shipping have pushed the fragile Memorandum of Understanding to the brink. We explain why the International Maritime Organization suspended its evacuation mission, why hundreds of vessels remain trapped inside the Gulf, and how the dispute over safe shipping routes has become the focal point of the conflict.

We also cover President Trump's warning that the Islamic Republic of Iran "may cease to exist," CENTCOM's latest strikes on Iranian drone and missile infrastructure, Iran's attacks on US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, and the widening disagreement over whether either side is still honouring the ceasefire.

Before the next phase of negotiations begins, the Gulf states have dramatically raised the stakes.

On Day 120 of the US-Iran War, the Gulf Cooperation Council and the United States issue a landmark joint statement demanding that any final agreement with Iran must go beyond its nuclear programme to include ballistic missiles, drones and Tehran's regional proxy network. It's the clearest signal yet that the peace process is expanding well beyond the original Memorandum of Understanding.

Meanwhile, President Trump reveals that Iran's enriched uranium was not destroyed during Operation Epic Fury but buried beneath the three nuclear sites, where he says it remains under constant American surveillance. He also discloses that he once considered sending US troops into Iran to recover the material before rejecting the plan, while signalling he would be willing to meet Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Elsewhere, Lebanon's fragile ceasefire begins to unravel as Hezbollah rejects the latest agreement, an Israeli officer is killed north of the Litani River, and a United Nations peacekeeper loses his life during renewed fighting. We also examine rising economic pressure inside the United States, the latest diplomatic efforts in Doha and Bürgenstock, and why the architecture of peace is growing faster than the agreements needed to end the war.

Iran War Day 119: Iran Declares US Defeat as Trump Seeks $87.6 Billion for the War

Iran has called the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding a "declaration of America's defeat", while the White House has asked Congress for $87.6 billion to continue funding the war just one day after lawmakers voted symbolically to end it.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the widening gap between Washington and Tehran's competing versions of the same peace agreement. Iran's chief negotiator says the deal proves American failure, while President Trump insists negotiations are progressing toward a historic settlement.

The fragile US-Iran peace deal faces its biggest test yet.

On Day 118 of the Iran War, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) publicly insists that nuclear inspections will take place under the new agreement. Iran immediately pushes back, declaring inspections cannot begin until all sanctions are lifted and a final deal is reached.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the growing confrontation between the IAEA and Tehran, the unanswered questions surrounding Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, the stalled Bürgenstock negotiations, rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, the latest Israel-Lebanon ceasefire developments, and why the next few weeks could determine whether this peace process survives.

The political foundations of the US-Iran War are beginning to crack.

On Day 117, the United States Senate passed a historic War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to withdraw American forces from hostilities against Iran, marking the first time both chambers of Congress have formally rebuked the war. Trump responded by accusing lawmakers of giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy, exposing growing divisions in Washington over the conflict and the peace process.

Meanwhile, a major dispute erupted over Iran's nuclear programme. Trump insisted that Tehran had agreed to unlimited nuclear inspections, while Iranian officials publicly denied any such agreement existed. With the future of IAEA access now in question, one of the most important pillars of the Switzerland peace talks faces its biggest test yet.

In this episode:

• The Senate's historic vote against the war
• Trump's furious response to Republican defectors
• The growing battle over Iran's nuclear inspections
• Conflicting interpretations of the Bürgenstock peace framework
• Iran President Pezeshkian's first foreign trip since the war began
• Pakistan's warning about efforts to sabotage the peace process
• The latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz reopening
• New disputes over Hormuz sovereignty and shipping fees
• Rubio's Gulf tour and growing concerns among Arab allies
• Israel-Lebanon negotiations and fresh clashes in southern Lebanon
• The latest progress from the US-Iran technical working groups

With 54 days remaining in the sixty-day negotiation window, diplomats are still meeting, ships are beginning to move, and the ceasefire remains intact. But the biggest questions of the war—nuclear verification and control of the Strait of Hormuz—are now the subject of open disagreement between Washington and Tehran.

The framework exists. The negotiations continue. The arguments are getting louder.

US-Iran peace talks have entered a critical new phase after the first face-to-face negotiations since the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum. Vice President JD Vance says major progress has been made, but a new battle is emerging over control of the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear inspections, and the future of the Middle East.

On Day 116 of the Iran War, US and Iranian officials completed marathon negotiations in Switzerland, launching technical talks on Iran's nuclear programme, sanctions relief, and maritime security. Vance announced that Iran will allow IAEA inspectors to return, while both sides agreed to establish a direct hotline to prevent incidents in the Strait of Hormuz from escalating into renewed conflict.

But Iran's chief negotiator also declared that Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status, claiming the strategic waterway will remain under Iranian management. The statement has triggered concern across the Gulf as the United States works to reassure allies worried about the future of global oil supplies and regional security.

Meanwhile, Israel is objecting to a new Lebanon ceasefire mechanism that includes Iran but excludes Israel, raising fears that tensions on the Lebanese border could threaten the wider peace process. Direct Israel-Lebanon negotiations are now beginning as multiple diplomatic tracks race forward simultaneously.

In this episode:

• US-Iran talks at Bürgenstock and what was agreed
• The return of IAEA nuclear inspectors
• Iran's claim of permanent influence over the Strait of Hormuz
• The Gulf states' growing concerns about the deal
• Israel's response to the new Lebanon framework
• Marco Rubio's Middle East diplomatic mission
• The next steps toward a possible US-Iran peace agreement

The first face-to-face talks between U.S. and Iranian officials since the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum are underway in Switzerland, but the peace process is already under pressure. As Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi meet at the Bürgenstock resort, Iran has announced a renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening global oil supplies and testing the fragile ceasefire.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the historic U.S.-Iran negotiations, President Trump's controversial threats during live talks, the creation of new working groups on sanctions and the nuclear program, and the growing risk that fighting in Lebanon could derail the entire agreement. We also examine the latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz, the economic cost of the war, oil market reactions, and whether the sixty-day peace framework can survive its first major crisis.

The Strait of Hormuz is closed again. Fighting in Lebanon continues despite a ceasefire. And world leaders are arriving in Switzerland for the most important peace talks of the war so far.

On Day 114, Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, linking its reopening directly to an end to military operations in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes and Hezbollah rocket attacks continued just hours after a ceasefire was announced, leaving more civilians dead and raising fresh doubts about whether the truce can hold.

In this episode, we break down Iran's strategy, the growing crisis in Lebanon, the latest battlefield developments, and the high-stakes negotiations beginning at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland. With Vice President Vance, Abbas Araghchi, senior Pakistani officials, and regional mediators all converging on the talks, the next sixty days could determine whether this conflict moves toward a lasting settlement or slides back toward full-scale war.

We also examine the renewed dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, the pressure being applied to global shipping markets, the competing priorities of Washington and Tehran, and why Lebanon has become the central issue threatening the entire peace process.

The Lebanon front threatened to derail the entire peace process — until a last-minute ceasefire changed everything.

On Day 113 of the US-Iran War, Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire after overnight strikes pushed the region to the brink of a renewed escalation. Iran suspended plans to attend the Switzerland peace talks, Vice President Vance cancelled his trip, and the future of the US-Iran agreement suddenly looked uncertain.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine how Qatar and the United States worked through Tehran to secure the Lebanon ceasefire, why Iran refused to attend negotiations until fighting stopped, and how the truce may have saved the broader peace process from collapse.

We also break down Vance's extraordinary criticism of Israel, Trump's intervention to secure the ceasefire, growing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem, the latest developments on Iran's nuclear negotiations, and Steve Witkoff's efforts to keep the Switzerland talks alive.

Plus: the reopening of Strait of Hormuz shipping routes, the debate over sanctions relief and reconstruction funding for Iran, new questions surrounding IAEA inspections, and what happens next as the sixty-day negotiating window continues to tick down.

Will the Lebanon ceasefire hold? Will Iran return to the negotiating table? And can the US-Iran peace deal survive the growing political pressure from all sides?

President Trump has signed the US-Iran peace deal, officially ending the Iran War after 112 days. But as the ceasefire takes effect, tensions in Lebanon, Israel, and the Strait of Hormuz are already threatening the agreement's future.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down Trump's surprise signing of the peace agreement at the Palace of Versailles, Iran's official acceptance of the deal, the cancellation of the Burgenstock implementation talks in Switzerland, and the growing dispute over Israeli military operations in Lebanon.

We examine:

• Trump's Versailles peace deal signing
• The US-Iran ceasefire and 60-day implementation period
• Why JD Vance pulled out of the Switzerland negotiations
• Israel's continued operations in southern Lebanon
• Iran's warning that Lebanon could violate the agreement
• The latest Strait of Hormuz shipping and oil market developments
• The eighty mines still blocking the main shipping channel
• Trump's claim that Iran has effectively surrendered
• The future of US-Iran relations and Middle East stability

With the peace deal now officially in force, the focus shifts from diplomacy to implementation. Can the agreement survive the Lebanon crisis, or could the conflict restart before the negotiations even begin?

The first Iranian oil tankers have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in two months, providing the strongest evidence yet that the blockade is beginning to lift. But just as markets rally and oil starts flowing again, President Trump is warning that his patience with the peace process is running out.

In Day 111 of the Iran War, we examine the verified tanker movements that signal a major shift in the conflict, the latest Israeli strikes in Lebanon that killed four people, Hezbollah's declaration that the agreement is a "big victory," and new details about the fourteen-point memorandum due to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.

We also break down Trump's unusually sharp criticism of Israeli military operations, the growing risk that the entire agreement could still collapse, and why US officials are already preparing contingency plans in case hostilities resume.

With oil exports restarting, sanctions relief on the horizon, and the threat of renewed war hanging over the region, the gap between peace on paper and peace in practice has never been clearer.

As President Trump promises to release the full text of the US-Iran peace agreement within days, a growing dispute over Lebanon is threatening to unravel the deal before Friday's signing ceremony in Geneva.

In Day 110 of the Iran War, Iran's Foreign Minister insists that Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory is a required part of the agreement, while Israeli leaders publicly reject any commitment to leave. Tehran warns that continued occupation would constitute a violation of the memorandum, and Iran's military signals that further action could follow if Israel remains in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Iranian oil tankers move beyond the US blockade line, global markets react to signs of de-escalation, and world leaders gather at the G7 summit as questions mount over what the peace deal actually contains. With the agreement still unpublished, Washington, Tehran, and Jerusalem appear to be operating from competing interpretations of the same document.

In this episode, we examine the Lebanon standoff, Trump's pledge to release the deal text, the future of the Strait of Hormuz, the latest diplomatic developments, and why one unresolved dispute could determine whether the war truly ends—or starts again.

The US and Iran have signed a peace agreement, marking one of the most significant developments since the Iran War began. But as world leaders welcome the deal and markets rally on hopes of stability, questions remain about how the agreement will be implemented and whether all parties are prepared to support it.

In Day 109 of the Iran War, we break down the newly signed US-Iran peace deal, the planned Geneva signing ceremony, Israel's response to key provisions, and the growing political pressure facing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We examine disputes over Lebanon, the future of Israeli military operations, the ongoing debate surrounding Iran's nuclear program, and the challenge of turning a signed agreement into a lasting peace.

We also cover disagreements over frozen Iranian assets, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, reactions from the United States, Iran, Israel, Europe, and the G7, plus what falling gold prices and market movements reveal about investor confidence in the deal. Finally, we examine concerns raised by international leaders regarding verification, enforcement, and the unresolved issues that could still threaten the agreement before Friday's formal ceremony.

A peace deal between the United States and Iran has been announced after 108 days of war. President Trump says the agreement is complete, Iran has confirmed the deal, and a formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Geneva.

In this episode, we break down what is actually in the agreement, why the Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen, how Qatar helped secure the breakthrough after fourteen hours of talks, and why Israel's silence could become the biggest obstacle to lasting peace.

We also examine the latest Israeli strike on Beirut, the unresolved Lebanon ceasefire question, the economic impact of ending the naval blockade, and the critical issues that remain unanswered before the deal is formally signed.

The Iran war may be approaching its most important turning point yet. President Trump says a peace deal is ready to be signed, but Iran has revealed that the nuclear issue—the central reason for the conflict—has been delayed to a second phase of negotiations.

On Day 107 of the war, new details emerged about the proposed agreement. Iran's Foreign Minister confirmed the memorandum is split into two stages, with sanctions relief, the Strait of Hormuz, and Lebanon addressed first, while the nuclear question remains unresolved. Trump insists the deal will permanently prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but Tehran says the hardest negotiations are still ahead.

Meanwhile, Israel launched new strikes in southern Lebanon, Israeli officials ruled out withdrawing from occupied territory, and two Iranian drones were shot down over the Strait of Hormuz. Conflicting statements from Washington and Tehran also cast doubt on whether a signing will actually take place on schedule.

In this episode, we break down the two-stage peace framework, the growing dispute over Lebanon, the future of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump's latest statements on the deal, and why the next sixty days could determine whether this war truly ends—or simply enters a new phase.

Pakistan says the final peace deal text has been agreed. Iran says the memorandum is in its final stages. Donald Trump claims Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and other regional powers have approved the agreement. Meanwhile, global markets are reacting as if the war could finally be nearing its end.

On Day 106 of the US-Iran War, the strongest signs yet emerged that a breakthrough may be close. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif publicly declared that a final agreed text exists, while Iranian officials confirmed they are completing work on the memorandum. Oil prices fell sharply, stock markets surged, and diplomatic activity intensified across the region.

But major questions remain. Reports suggest the deal could include the release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets and potentially address the conflict in Lebanon. Trump has accused Iran of leaking false information about the agreement's terms, while Israeli concerns over asset releases continue to create uncertainty behind the scenes.

In this episode:

• Pakistan declares a final peace text has been agreed
• Iran confirms negotiations are in their final stages
• Trump names the countries backing the deal
• Markets surge as oil prices fall
• New details emerge on frozen Iranian assets
• The battle over Lebanon's future
• Israeli strikes continue despite diplomatic progress
• The one-year anniversary of the Twelve-Day War
• Why this breakthrough may be different from previous false alarms

Has the conflict finally reached its turning point, or is this another diplomatic false dawn?
