Donald Trump has escalated the US’s war against Iran, deploying a
heavy B-1 long-range bomber directly from RAF Fairford to strike
IRGC targets. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Iranian proxy group the Houthis
have launched missile attacks against Saudi oil tankers in the
Red Sea as part of their blockade.

In today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and
Jerusalem Correspondent Henry Bodkin discuss how the Bab
al-Mandeb waterway could become the next Strait of Hormuz, how
Iranian missiles are becoming deadlier, and why Israel is furious
about a new US-Saudi civil nuclear agreement.

Plus, former US Assistant Secretary of State in the Middle East
David Schenker on why a maritime blockade is the most effective
tool Trump has against Iran, and his one piece of advice to the
president as the conflict threatens to spiral out of
control.
