  • From Bargaining to Blockade

    From Bargaining to Blockade
    Apr 13 2026
    Diplomacy isn't working, so President Trump is trying to cut Iran off from the world. A US military blockade on all Iranian ports and coastal areas is now in effect. The president announced the move over the weekend after 21 hours of peace talks in Pakistan ended without a deal. The idea is to put more financial pressure on the regime by blocking Iran from selling its oil, at least publicly. Iranian leaders are shrugging it off. The speaker of Iran's parliament, who helped lead their negotiations over the weekend, responded: “Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4 to $5 gas.” Learn more about your ad choices.

    JD Vance heads to Pakistan for crucial talks with Iran. Can the VP steer the US out of war? He's joined by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

    Deal or No Deal?
    Apr 9 2026
    We start today's show with a ceasefire deal that seems precarious at best, given the confusion over what the US and Iran actually agreed to. The bottom line is that Iran still has a grip on the strait of Hormuz, while Israel continues bombing Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Moments ago, an Iranian news agency reported Tehran halted oil tankers traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Reopening the strait to commerce, of course, was a key part of the deal. Plus, one of Iran's demands in exchange was that Israel end its bombardment of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. But the Israelis say they never agreed to that. Learn more about your ad choices.
