Iran War Day 91: Ceasefire Deal Nears as Iran Fires Missile at Kuwait, Trump Threatens Oman

US and Iran Stand Down as Doha Talks Decide Hormuz

The United States and Iran have agreed to stand down after the most dangerous seventy-two hours since the ceasefire, but the conflict is far from over. Following three rounds of US strikes on Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian missile attacks on American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, both sides have paused military operations ahead of emergency talks in Doha. In this episode, we break down how the latest escalation unfolded, why CENTCOM targeted Iran's surveillance and minelaying infrastructure, the attack on the Kiku oil tanker carrying Qatari crude, and what the sudden stand-down means for the future of the ceasefire. We also examine Iran's insistence that it retains control of the Strait of Hormuz, the growing dispute over the Memorandum of Understanding, delayed nuclear negotiations, and why the next forty-eight hours could determine whether diplomacy survives or the conflict returns to open war. We also cover the White House's latest strategy meeting, Trump's war funding request, Lebanon's worsening security crisis, global oil markets, commercial shipping through Hormuz, and the high-stakes diplomatic negotiations that could reshape the Middle East.

Iran War Day 121: Iran Strikes Shipping Again as US Launches Fresh Airstrikes

Day 121 of the US-Iran War brings the most serious test yet of the ceasefire as Iran launches fresh drone attacks against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the United States to respond with another wave of airstrikes against Iranian military targets. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the attack on the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely, the drone strike on the Panama-flagged oil tanker Kiku, and how repeated attacks on international shipping have pushed the fragile Memorandum of Understanding to the brink. We explain why the International Maritime Organization suspended its evacuation mission, why hundreds of vessels remain trapped inside the Gulf, and how the dispute over safe shipping routes has become the focal point of the conflict. We also cover President Trump's warning that the Islamic Republic of Iran "may cease to exist," CENTCOM's latest strikes on Iranian drone and missile infrastructure, Iran's attacks on US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, and the widening disagreement over whether either side is still honouring the ceasefire. Plus, we analyse the new Lebanon framework agreement, the Gulf states' growing concerns, and why oil markets remain surprisingly calm despite the sharp escalation.

Iran War Day 120: GCC Demands Missile Deal as Trump Reveals Iran's Buried Uranium

Before the next phase of negotiations begins, the Gulf states have dramatically raised the stakes. On Day 120 of the US-Iran War, the Gulf Cooperation Council and the United States issue a landmark joint statement demanding that any final agreement with Iran must go beyond its nuclear programme to include ballistic missiles, drones and Tehran's regional proxy network. It's the clearest signal yet that the peace process is expanding well beyond the original Memorandum of Understanding. Meanwhile, President Trump reveals that Iran's enriched uranium was not destroyed during Operation Epic Fury but buried beneath the three nuclear sites, where he says it remains under constant American surveillance. He also discloses that he once considered sending US troops into Iran to recover the material before rejecting the plan, while signalling he would be willing to meet Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. Elsewhere, Lebanon's fragile ceasefire begins to unravel as Hezbollah rejects the latest agreement, an Israeli officer is killed north of the Litani River, and a United Nations peacekeeper loses his life during renewed fighting. We also examine rising economic pressure inside the United States, the latest diplomatic efforts in Doha and Bürgenstock, and why the architecture of peace is growing faster than the agreements needed to end the war. If you want clear, fact-based coverage of the US-Iran conflict, Middle East geopolitics, nuclear negotiations, oil markets and global security, Epic Fury delivers your daily briefing with the context behind the headlines.

Iran War Day 118: IAEA Demands Inspections as Iran Pushes Back

The fragile US-Iran peace deal faces its biggest test yet. On Day 118 of the Iran War, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) publicly insists that nuclear inspections will take place under the new agreement. Iran immediately pushes back, declaring inspections cannot begin until all sanctions are lifted and a final deal is reached. In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the growing confrontation between the IAEA and Tehran, the unanswered questions surrounding Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, the stalled Bürgenstock negotiations, rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, the latest Israel-Lebanon ceasefire developments, and why the next few weeks could determine whether this peace process survives.
