The US Navy struck three Iranian vessels, sinking one and
disabling two, after fresh attacks by Tehran on American warships
near the Strait of Hormuz.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant and
Venetia Rainey discuss news of the escalating battle for the
Strait of Hormuz, which has become the epicentre of the US-Iran
war.

Donald Trump’s administration insists millions of barrels of oil
are getting out and it’s not a war but merely “small potatoes”,
but missile strikes continue and Oman and Iran are negotiating a
separate deal. What’s going on?

Plus, the US admits a nuclear deal with Iran may never happen,
and violence flares in Lebanon amid an explosion of Israeli air
strikes and in Yemen as the Houthis push towards the Bab
al-Mandeb strait.
