Donald Trump has vowed an ‘economic D-Day’ to crush Iran, amid
news that the US military is stealthily getting oil out of the
Strait of Hormuz despite Tehran’s attacks. Will US jets escorting
tankers stop oil prices from rising further?

In today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant talks to
Matthew Savill, director of Military Sciences at the UK’s Royal
United Services Institute (RUSI), to dissect the reality of
Iran’s diminishing maritime leverage in the war, and how
effective economic pressure will be on the Iranian regime.

Plus, Britain’s diminishing minehunting capabilities in the
Middle East, why Iran views the UK as the ‘Little Satan’, and
what it’s like to be attacked by Iranian-backed militias in
Iraq.
