Aramco HQ Hit in Dhahran, Hormuz Ship Attacks Surge, Iran Eyes US Midterms

Saudi Arabia’s oil industry is under attack, commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz faces a surge in strikes, and Iran is signalling a strategy aimed at influencing the US midterm elections. As the US-Iran war escalates, the risks to global oil supplies, energy prices and regional security continue to grow.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the missile strike that damaged Saudi Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran, the expanding Houthi campaign against Saudi oil facilities and airports, and the sinking of a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. With attacks on commercial vessels intensifying, we explore what Iran’s latest maritime tactics mean for global shipping and one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.

We also analyse President Donald Trump’s latest warnings to Tehran, the possibility of deeper US involvement in the conflict, and Iran’s reported attempt to keep oil prices elevated ahead of the November 2026 US midterm elections. Meanwhile, rising American gasoline prices, soaring diesel costs and growing concerns over energy supplies are adding to the economic consequences of the war.

Plus, discover how naval mines threaten commercial shipping, why securing the Strait of Hormuz remains a major challenge, and what the latest developments mean for Saudi Arabia, the United States and the global economy.
