The US military is secretly helping ships circumvent Iran’s
stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz along a new route hugging
the Omani coast.

Bryan Clark, a former US Navy officer and senior fellow at the
Hudson Institute, looks at whether this is a solution to the
Hormuz crisis that has plagued Donald Trump and the rest of the
world since the war began.

Plus, Hezbollah accuses Lebanon of “surrendering” after agreeing
a deal with Israel. Venetia Rainey and Sophia Yan discuss the
latest news, including the significance of the US House passing a
war powers resolution to curb further American military activity
and the death of British MI6 boss Sir Alex Younger.
