The US-Iran ceasefire is in crisis following a violent weekend of
escalation. From the IRGC damaging a ship in the Strait of Hormuz
so badly that the crew had to abandon it, to President Donald
Trump declaring he "bombed the hell out of them" after striking
dozens of targets, the war appears to be back on in all but name.
Now, Trump has reimposed the US naval blockade and announced a
toll.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and Roland
Oliphant break down a frantic weekend of military action,
including the US deploying one-way attack sea drones for the
first time and the collapse of Omani negotiations to reopen the
Hormuz waterway.

Plus, the damage done by Iran repeatedly launching missile and
drone strikes against US airbases across the Gulf and Jordan is
growing. King’s College London security expert Dr. Andreas Krieg
unpacks how China and Russia are actively backing Iran's
underground missile infrastructure to bleed Western interceptor
stocks and distract the US from the Indo-Pacific.

Highlights

Trump reimposes Strait of Hormuz blockade and attacks Iran with
sea drones

Iran attacks on American bases across Middle East ‘leave US in
the dark’
