The United States has struck Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets for the second time in three days after two oil tankers were hit by unidentified projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with missiles and drones targeting Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, marking another sharp escalation six months into the US-Iran war.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the latest US strikes on IRGC air defences, radar systems and maritime targets, the attacks on shipping in Hormuz, and Iran’s widening campaign across the Gulf. We also examine Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump’s threat of a larger response, new Iranian diplomatic moves involving Russia and China, the collapsing rial, Iran’s growing fuel crisis, fresh US sanctions, and the impact of renewed conflict on global oil markets.

As missiles fly across the Middle East and both sides threaten further escalation, is this the beginning of a new phase in the war — or another dangerous cycle in a conflict neither side has been able to end?
