First up — the Strait of Hormuz is rapidly turning into a war zone as multiple cargo ships are struck by projectiles in a single day. We’ll examine the latest attacks on commercial shipping and why the geography of this narrow waterway gives Iran a dangerous advantage as tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf.


Later in the show — new reporting raises fresh questions about Russia’s role in the conflict. Intelligence sources say Moscow may be advising Iran on drone tactics, potentially helping Tehran refine the attacks now being launched across the region.

According to the report, even a large-scale campaign may not be enough to topple the country’s entrenched clerical and military leadership.


Lebanon’s president makes a surprising diplomatic move, calling for direct negotiations with Israel while openly blaming Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that serves Iran’s interests.
