US Strike on Pickaxe Mountain Looms, Hormuz Crisis Deepens, War Cost Hits $37.5 Billion

President Trump signals that a major US strike on Iran's heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site could be imminent, while a new 10-day ceasefire proposal offers a narrow diplomatic path to ending the conflict. As Washington weighs its next move, the Pentagon reveals the war has already cost $37.5 billion, with 17 American service members confirmed dead and hundreds more wounded.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we examine Secretary of State Marco Rubio's warning over freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, the latest US and Iranian strikes across the Gulf, the growing threat to global oil supplies as the Bab el-Mandeb crisis expands, and the mounting pressure on Congress over soaring military spending.

We also cover the intelligence behind Pickaxe Mountain, the latest Pentagon casualty figures, the Houthi blockade against Saudi shipping, the fragile ceasefire negotiations involving Qatar, Oman, Egypt and Pakistan, and why the next 24 hours could determine whether diplomacy succeeds or the war enters an even more dangerous phase.

Topics covered:

  • Trump's planned strike on Pickaxe Mountain
  • Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb shipping crisis
  • Pentagon reveals $37.5 billion war cost
  • Latest US-Iran military strikes
  • Marco Rubio's Strait of Hormuz warning
  • Iran ceasefire proposal explained
