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.

If you want clear, fact-based analysis of the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, US military operations, global oil markets, and the geopolitical consequences shaping the Middle East, this daily briefing gives you everything you need to know.
