Israel and the US consider are considering land blockade on Iran,
as President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu look to tighten the
economic squeeze on Tehran. Elsewhere, the security landscape has
been rocked by the news that a British national has been arrested
on charges of spying on a UK military base in Cyprus, casting
fresh concerns over the regional expansion of this conflict.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Henry Bodkin, Jerusalum
Correspondent speaks to Lottie Tiplady-Bishop, acting US news
editor, about the geopolitical implications of this proposed land
blockade, the fragile reality behind Trump’s Gaza disarmament
deal, and attitudes inside the US.

Plus, Henry and Lottie discuss the latest retaliatory strikes on
US assets in Kuwait, the ongoing naval tension in the Strait of
Hormuz, and how Saudi Arabia is scrambling to organize a new
maritime alliance to secure the Bab el-Mandeb.
