🎖️ Come talk to Ali & Armin in our discussion group

Iran says the war could stretch on far longer unless the U.S. honors the interim deal signed back in June, with Iran's Foreign Minister making clear Tehran won't return to talks under pressure. Meanwhile, the U.S. claims its Navy has swept the Strait of Hormuz for mines and now holds full control, even as shipping through the strait remains stalled. On the ground, Iran's Supreme Leader has named new military chiefs across the armed forces and IRGC, a reshuffle that comes as questions grow over his health and his first public photos are set to be released. Off Iran's coast, a mysterious oil spill near Qeshm Island is spreading into nearby wildlife habitats, with officials still investigating the cause. The U.S. has also piled on an 8th round of sanctions this year, deepening economic pressure as Iran's currency and military funding come under strain. Across the wider Middle East, Israel remains on high alert in southern Lebanon, and IRGC-backed networks in Iraq continue to face mounting pressure. Inside Iran, executions have topped 900 for the year, driving growing anger among the Iranian People. Join us live for this breaking A2 Analysis broadcast as we break down the Hormuz standoff, the new IRGC leadership, and what happens next.
