Episode notes
U.S. Offensive Hits Iran Oil Hub
- U.S. strikes on Karak Island targeted 90 military sites and aim to cripple Iran's oil export hub.
- CENTCOM reported the strikes and President Trump warned Iran could face attacks on its energy infrastructure if shipments remain blocked through the Strait of Hormuz.
Strait Of Hormuz Closure Amplifies Global Risk
- Iran's actions have effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting about 20 percent of global oil flow.
- Iran says the strait is open to all vessels except those linked to the U.S. and its allies, complicating international shipping responses.
Israel Expands Campaign Against Hezbollah
- Israel is intensifying airstrikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah and preparing to deploy another division of 10–20,000 troops to the northern border.
- The campaign has displaced nearly one million people and killed over 800, including at least 106 children, per Lebanese health officials.
