The MoU with Iran has broken down, war has returned to the Middle East, and so Aimen walks us through the events since the war re-ignited on 7th July.
More than anything, the fighting now focuses on the Strait of Hormuz. In Iran’s eyes, it has won control of the Strait as a spoil of war. In the rest of the world’s eyes, freedom of navigation through the Strait remains a cast-iron principle of international law.
Aimen and Thomas discuss:
- Why the US–Iran MoU collapsed over control of the Strait of Hormuz
- Iran’s attacks on Gulf shipping and the return of the US naval blockade
- US strikes on Bandar Abbas and Iran’s coastal military infrastructure
- GCC retaliation: Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Jordan confront Iran
- Trump assassination threats and divisions inside the US administration
- Saudi Arabia’s internal debate over Iran and renewed war with the Houthis
- Houthi threats to close Bab al-Mandab and attack Saudi infrastructure
- Oman, NATO and Israel’s roles in the widening Iran war
