On part one of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks to chief foreign affairs commentator David Blair about how and why Tehran is expanding its pace of attacks and its target range against Gulf shipping, including a record six oil tankers in one day. So far the US has avoided a military response, but with videos showing ships on fire and iPhones floating in the Strait, how long can that last? Plus, he gives his take on the morality of US military operations in Hormuz, highlighting the 'horrendous humanitarian consequences.' #Hormuz #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #Defence #news CONTRIBUTORS: Venetia Rainey, co-host and executive producer @venetiarainey David Blair, chief foreign affairs commentator @davidblairdt Producers: Peter Shevlin and Max Bower Researcher and Social Producer: Anna Hindmarsh Studio Operator: Andy Watson Executive Producer: Venetia Rainey ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
