Iranian parliament speaker DEFIANT on Strait of Hormuz

18 AUG 2026 · 10:15 ET·6:54·285K VIEWS·0.5× USUAL PACE

Iran's parliament speaker has declared that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States lifts its blockade, releases frozen assets, and ends oil sanctions and military threats. This defiance comes amid ongoing tensions, including a recent vessel targeting in the Strait and President Trump's warning to Oman against interfering with the U.S. naval blockade.

WHY IT MATTERS

The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit choke point, could disrupt international oil supplies and escalate military tensions between the US and Iran, potentially impacting global energy markets and regional stability.

ALSO DISCUSSED

The episode also covers President Trump's focus on economic pressure and a potential deal to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and Jared Kushner's remarks on ongoing discussions with Hamas and the conditions for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza.
