Plus, Iraq begins reopening border crossings with Iran after the Saudi pipeline attack was traced to Iraqi territory, fighting intensifies around Yemen’s Red Sea coast, and the battle for control of the Bab al-Mandeb continues. The episode also examines Iran’s diplomatic strategy, the United States position on…

Iraq has admitted that the drones that struck Saudi Arabia’s critical East-West oil pipeline were launched from Iraqi territory — and President Donald Trump says he believes Iran was behind the attack. In Episode 198 of Epic Fury, we examine the Saudi pipeline strike, Iraq’s crackdown on Iran-backed militias, and the growing risk that Iraqi territory becomes a major new front in the US-Iran war. Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has dismissed senior security officials and Iraq has closed two major border crossings with Iran as pressure mounts over who launched the drones. We also examine Trump’s latest comments on Iran, his reported contacts with the Houthis, and his phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi movement is facing a government counteroffensive around Mokha after seizing key territory along the southern Red Sea coast. The fighting threatens to further disrupt shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints. The…

The Red Sea has just become another major flashpoint in the Iran war. Houthi forces have seized Mayyun Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, giving the Iran-aligned movement effective control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline and putting one of the world's most important shipping chokepoints under direct threat. At almost the same time, Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline was hit by a drone attack traced to Iraqi territory, forcing the kingdom to shut down the crucial route designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. With both major maritime chokepoints in the region under pressure, the economic stakes of the war are rising rapidly. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the Houthi takeover of the Bab al-Mandeb, the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure, the fallout inside Iraq, and the growing role of Iran-aligned militias across the region. We also examine why Washington has decided against direct military strikes on the Houthis, despite Saudi pressure for US intervention. The episode also covers…

The Iran war widens again as Houthi forces seize Yemen’s historic Red Sea port of Mocha, pushing closer to the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait and threatening another vital global shipping chokepoint. The United Nations responds with an emergency Security Council session as fighting intensifies across Yemen. In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine the Houthi capture of Mocha, the collapse of another government position on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, and what control of the area could mean for shipping between the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. With Houthi forces reportedly advancing toward Dhubab and the Hanish Islands, the war is creating a dangerous second maritime front alongside the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. We also examine confirmation that Iranian missiles damaged American military aircraft at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, including an A-10 Thunderbolt and F-15E Strike Eagles, as well as the latest unexplained explosions along Iran’s Hormozgan coast. Elsewhere, Saudi…

President Donald Trump has tied the end of the US-Iran War to the November midterm elections, saying he expects the conflict to end immediately after the vote. But as Washington looks toward a possible endgame, the fighting is escalating across the Gulf and the diplomatic pressure on Iran is intensifying. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine Trump's latest comments on the Iran war, the growing political significance of the November midterms, and Washington's changing approach to negotiations with Tehran. We also break down the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision to refer Iran to the United Nations Security Council over its nuclear obligations — the first such referral in twenty years. Meanwhile, the US-Iran tanker war is intensifying. US Central Command says American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, bringing the number destroyed in the past week to ten, while Iran claimed it had struck US warships and additional tankers. CENTCOM rejected those claims. With Brent crude rising above…

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…

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. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine Iran's new fuel price increase, the risk of renewed domestic unrest, and Rouhani's call for a dignified end to the conflict and greater public involvement in deciding whether the war should continue. 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…

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…

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. With direct US-Iran military…

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…

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…

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.
