On Nothing But the Truth, host Trudy Stern is joined by national security expert Jonathan Schanzer to break down the evolving conflict with Iran. As the fighting shifts from direct military strikes to an aggressive economic strategy, they explore how sanctions, blockades, and control of key النفط routes like the Strait of Hormuz are reshaping the battlefield. Schanzer explains the real impact of cutting off Iran’s oil revenues, the risks of escalation, and how global players like China and Russia factor into the equation. The episode offers a clear look at a conflict now defined less by bombs—and more by economic pressure, strategy, and endurance.
