U.S. Launches Strikes Against Iran After Attacks on Vessels

The United States military has conducted new strikes targeting Iran. This action was in response to Iranian assaults on three commercial ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz.

In a further move, the Trump administration rescinded a significant waiver. This waiver had previously permitted the sale of Iranian oil, adding further strain to the situation.

Geoff Bennett engaged with maritime security expert Ian Ralby to examine the implications. They discussed how these developments might influence the global oil supply.
