The United States has struck Iran again after more than a month of relative quiet, targeting Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran responded within hours, launching missiles and drones toward US-operated bases in Jordan.
In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the renewed exchange of fire between the United States and Iran, why CENTCOM says it struck Larak Island, Iran’s claimed retaliation against King Hussein Air Base and Al-Azraq Air Base, and whether this marks the beginning of a wider escalation after weeks of relative restraint.
We also examine the US naval blockade and mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, Operation Economic Outcast and Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign, rising oil prices, Iran’s worsening gasoline shortage, divisions inside Tehran over reopening Hormuz, and the latest US proposal delivered through Pakistan’s military chief, Asim Munir.
Plus: Pezeshkian and Putin meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, Iraq’s unresolved militia disarmament crisis, stalled Lebanon negotiations, and the growing pressure on Iran’s economy six months into the war.
