Day 68: Trump Pauses Naval Op, Iran Reopens Strait, Oil Crashes

from The Iran War Report

Trump suspended "Project Freedom" after just 50 hours, and Iran's Revolutionary Guard confirmed commercial ships can now safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude plummeted and U.S. markets surged as gas prices — up 50% from pre-war baseline — are now expected to fall. U.S. and Iranian officials are drafting a one-page memo to end the war, with Hormuz addressed first and nuclear issues punted to later talks. Today's briefing covers what happened, what it means, and what people are actually saying — in 20 minutes. Listen now. You'll be on the frontlines of monitoring the situation.
