Egypt is now directly caught up in the Iran war. A drone strike at the Port of Damietta has raised fears that the conflict is spreading beyond the Persian Gulf, while Saudi Arabia announces a new 14-nation Maritime Defense Alliance to protect the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, the Red Sea, and global energy shipping.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the biggest developments from the last 24 hours, including renewed regional escalation, the widening geographic footprint of the conflict, and the growing risk to global trade and oil markets.

We cover:

  • Egypt's Damietta port drone strike and why it could mark a dangerous new front in the war
  • Saudi Arabia's announcement of a multinational maritime security alliance
  • The latest US-Iran military escalation following strikes in Jordan
  • The humanitarian impact inside Iran and the latest casualty reports
  • Kuwait's reported strike on a Chinese-owned facility
  • Reuters' report that China may supply Iran with MANPADS air defence systems—and the denials from Beijing and Pakistan
  • The Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and why these shipping chokepoints remain central to the conflict
  • Oil price volatility, Brent crude, and the impact on global energy markets
  • Congress, the Pentagon, and the latest debate over funding the war
