Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims two supertankers struck naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh questions about the security of global oil supplies. Saudi Arabia faces another wave of Houthi missiles and drone attacks, while Egypt considers authorising military support for the kingdom.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the latest developments in the US-Iran war, Tehran’s claims of tanker strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, and the growing threat to commercial shipping across the Gulf. With Brent crude near its highest level in months, Monday’s oil market reaction could reveal how seriously traders view the latest escalation.

We also examine Saudi Arabia’s airport disruption, the diplomatic push involving Egypt and Gulf states, President Trump’s decision to waive Russia-related sanctions, and the growing economic pressure on Iran. Plus, our deep dive explores a less visible consequence of the Hormuz crisis: how disrupted fertilizer shipments could threaten global food production, crop yields and food prices in 2026 and 2027.

Are the latest tanker claims a genuine escalation, and could the Strait of Hormuz crisis trigger a wider energy and food security shock?
