Iran and Oman appear to be sending conflicting signals over a proposed Strait of Hormuz shipping deal as a tanker catches fire in the waterway for the second time in days. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the disputed Hormuz corridor, renewed attacks on commercial shipping, Trump’s warning that the war could continue, and the growing pressure on Iran as US sanctions hit its economy.

We also cover Iran’s collapsing rial, China’s response to Washington’s sanctions campaign, Qatar’s new diplomatic push in Tehran, Iran’s nuclear inspection dispute, Pakistan’s mediation efforts, Iraq’s militia crisis, and the latest developments in Gaza and Lebanon.

The US-Iran war may be moving away from the battlefield, but the fight over shipping, sanctions and diplomacy is becoming increasingly dangerous.
