Tit-for-tat violence between Iran and the US erupted over the
weekend as missiles and drones flew in both directions across the
Strait of Hormuz. On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, we
break down a dangerous weekend of military escalation that has
left the fragile 60-day interim peace agreement hanging by a
thread.

Host Venetia Rainey is joined by Bahraini political analyst Ahmed
Khuzaie to dissect Iran’s widening campaign of violence and give
the Gulf view on who should be allowed to control the vital
Hormuz waterway. He explains why there is no trust in Tehran
sticking to its side of any deal and how some Gulf states would
like to see Donald Trump return to war - but a more decisive and
better planned one.

Plus, Israel and Lebanon have signed a peace deal too. But as
fighting continues with Iranian proxy Hezbollah, is it even worth
the paper it’s written on?
