## Resource

Trump is blasting Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling Tehran’s response “totally unacceptable” as tensions rise again across the Middle East. With drone attacks reported near Gulf shipping lanes, uncertainty surrounding Iran’s leadership, and fears growing over oil prices and a wider regional conflict, the pressure is building on all sides. We will break down the collapsing negotiations, the strategic stakes in Hormuz, and whether the ceasefire momentum is already slipping away. IHeart television and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich will swing by. Should talk about the latest in Iran and the California governor’s race. Mark speaks with Dr. Steven Bezruchka. He’s the author David Cay Johnston recommended we have on the show.
