Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast

The US-Iran War escalated sharply as American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while Iran claimed it had seized an advanced American underwater drone near the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, the Houthi movement launched a major missile and drone barrage against Saudi Arabia, striking energy infrastructure and military targets and wounding dozens. The attacks threaten to widen the war beyond Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, putting Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure and global energy markets under further pressure. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the latest escalation in the tanker war, Iran's claims over the captured American underwater vehicle, and the growing Houthi front in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. We also examine the deepening political crisis inside Iran, where former President Hassan Rouhani's calls for an end to the war have triggered an increasingly aggressive backlash from hardline factions and Iranian media. Plus: Britain's new sanctions on Iran, the latest US pressure campaign, rising oil prices, disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the upcoming US-mediated Lebanon talks, and the growing economic and military costs of the conflict. This is the latest analysis of the US-Iran war, the IRGC, the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the Houthis, Israel, Lebanon, and the wider Middle East conflict.

Iran doubles gasoline prices for heavy users as economic pressure mounts, while former President Hassan Rouhani reignites an internal debate over whether Tehran should continue the war.

We also examine the latest US-Iran military confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz, including competing Iranian and American claims over attacks on US naval vessels, Iran's reported missile test claims, and the movement of Iranian oil tankers through the contested waterway. The episode also explores the growing political divide inside Iran between figures pushing for an end to the war and hardliners demanding continued resistance, as well as the economic impact of the Hormuz crisis, rising oil prices, US sanctions, and pressure on global energy markets. Plus: the latest developments involving the United States, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, the Revolutionary Guard, the Pentagon, and the wider geopolitical consequences of the US-Iran war.

Iran claims it test-fired a new missile over a US aircraft carrier as the tanker war in the Gulf escalates. The United States says its forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after Iran fired ballistic missiles toward an American aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the latest US-Iran military escalation, Iran's unverified claim that an anti-destroyer missile passed over a US carrier, and Tehran's warning that it will impose a new restricted zone around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has also claimed strikes on six vessels, although those reports remain unverified. Meanwhile, Iranian officials are preparing a new shipping corridor with Oman, while the United States continues to challenge Iran's control over commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. We also examine Iran's decision to raise gasoline prices for heavy users, growing Republican pressure on War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Israel's claimed control of the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, new US and European sanctions on Iran, and the latest developments affecting global oil markets.

The US has sunk an Iranian oil tanker after launching strikes on three Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Oman, escalating the conflict in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, claims it responded within hours by targeting six additional ships, including oil tankers and vessels linked to the United States. In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the latest US strikes on Iran's oil tanker fleet, the sinking of the M/T Kylo, Iran's claimed retaliation, and the growing risk of a wider maritime conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. We also examine the impact on global shipping and oil markets, Israel's capture of the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, Iran's warning of further escalation, the political pressure facing War Secretary Pete Hegseth, new US sanctions targeting Iran's financial network, Tehran's worsening fuel crisis, stalled diplomacy over reopening Hormuz, and the latest developments in Iraq.

Reuters forensic analysis has pointed to an American weapon as the likely cause of the deadly wedding strike in Kuhestak, Iran, raising new questions over US responsibility for one of the worst civilian casualty incidents of the war. In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the evidence from the Kuhestak wedding strike and what it could mean for Washington and Tehran. We also examine Israel's capture of Hezbollah's Ali al-Taher underground stronghold — the exact position Iran had privately warned could trigger a large-scale response — and why Tehran has so far shown no sign of acting on that threat. Plus: President Trump hints at possible strikes on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility, eighteen American service members confirmed killed in the war, Howard Lutnick forced to apologise after falsely claiming no Americans had died, growing pressure on Pete Hegseth, Iran's worsening fuel and currency crisis, new US sanctions, Pakistan's diplomatic proposal, Russia's backing for Tehran, and the latest battle over the Strait of Hormuz.

JD Vance responds to growing questions over a deadly strike on a wedding party in Iran as the US-Iran war enters a dangerous new phase. Iran expands its retaliation campaign, striking American-linked targets in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, while Washington and Tehran offer sharply different accounts of who controls the Strait of Hormuz. In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down the reported civilian deaths, Iran’s referral of the wedding strike to the International Criminal Court, Vance’s controversial comments on whether the conflict should even be called a war, and Donald Trump’s warning that the United States can strike Iran again at any time. We also examine Benjamin Netanyahu’s increasingly explicit push for regime change in Tehran, Iran’s threats of asymmetric retaliation, the growing political pressure on the Trump administration, the dispute over shipping and oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and the diplomatic proposal still sitting unanswered in Tehran. From Kuwait and the UAE to Tehran, Washington and the Strait of Hormuz, this is the latest US-Iran war update.

Kuwait came under Iranian missile and drone attack before dawn as the US-Iran war widened again across the Gulf. Saudi Arabia intercepted ballistic missiles for the first time in weeks, Bahrain activated its air defences, and Kuwait International Airport suspended flights as explosions echoed across the region. Epic Fury examines Iran’s escalating strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia following a new wave of US attacks on Iranian military targets. We also break down the disputed wedding strike in Kuhestak, Iran’s threats of further retaliation, Trump’s warning of even larger strikes, the unresolved Strait of Hormuz blockade, Iran’s worsening fuel crisis, new US sanctions, and growing concerns over Iran’s unaccounted-for uranium stockpile. As missiles spread across the Gulf and diplomatic channels remain open but increasingly fragile, the question is whether this latest escalation marks another short exchange — or the beginning of a much wider phase of the war.

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?

A US strike on Iran’s Larak Island has pushed the Strait of Hormuz back to the brink. As the US-Iran war enters its seventh month, American forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, near the strategic entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with a claimed missile and drone attack on American-linked bases in Jordan, while competing reports of tanker attacks, naval mines and intercepted drones added to growing uncertainty across the Gulf. In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast , we break down the Larak Island strike, Iran’s response, and what the latest escalation could mean for the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets. We also examine President Trump’s AI-generated video appearing to show Iran’s Kharg Island under attack, Tehran’s disputed tanker claims, rising oil prices, and the dangerous mix of confirmed incidents and competing disinformation now shaping the conflict at sea. Plus: Iran, Russia and China meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit; Pakistan’s diplomatic proposal to Tehran; Iran’s worsening gasoline crisis; Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign; and the growing confrontation over Iran-backed militias in Iraq. The US-Iran war may have entered a slower phase, but Larak Island has shown how quickly the conflict can flare up again. With the Strait of Hormuz still under pressure, oil markets rising, and diplomacy struggling to gain traction, the path toward an end to this war remains as uncertain as ever.

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.

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.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issues a warning to the Muslim world as Tehran hardens its position on the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode of Epic Fury , we break down the latest Strait of Hormuz reopening plan, Iran and Oman's shipping corridor, tanker attacks, mine-clearing efforts and what the developments mean for global oil supplies and international shipping . We also examine US-Iran sanctions , Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's latest pressure campaign against Tehran, China's response, Pakistan's mediation efforts, questions surrounding Iran's Supreme Leader, the Qatar-Iran pilot dispute, Iraq's militia disarmament deadline, and the latest developments in Lebanon, Gaza and the wider Middle East .

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has unveiled a major new US sanctions package targeting Iran, expanding Washington’s economic pressure campaign against Tehran. In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast , we examine Bessent’s “Economic D-Day” announcement, including new sanctions targeting Iran’s oil smuggling, shipping, technology, gold, aviation and digital assets. We break down what Washington actually announced, what was held back, and why the toughest financial measures may still be coming. We also examine Iran’s response, China’s rejection of US pressure, the risk of secondary sanctions against Chinese banks and other trading partners, and what the latest measures could mean for Iran’s economy, oil markets and the wider war.

Economic D-Day is looming as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepares to unveil a major new Iran sanctions package — promising the toughest economic pressure Washington has ever imposed on Tehran. Bessent has described the coming Iran sanctions announcement as an “economic D-Day”, with the United States preparing to target the financial networks, banks, companies and oil trade that continue to support Iran. The objective is clear: use economic warfare to force Tehran into submission after months of military pressure failed to produce a decisive end to the US-Iran war. In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast , we examine what Bessent’s toughest Iran sanctions could mean for Iran’s economy, Iranian oil exports, international banks and companies doing business with Tehran. We also examine how Iran is preparing to respond, why China is rejecting Washington’s pressure, and whether the UAE and other Gulf states could join the sanctions campaign. The episode also tracks the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz , global oil prices, Iranian shipping, the UAE, China and the wider economic consequences of the US-Iran conflict. With the war approaching six months, Washington is making a major strategic shift from military force toward financial pressure. The question is whether Bessent’s sanctions can achieve what bombs and blockades have not — forcing Iran toward an end to the war.
