## Transcript

Six months of war, February. American and Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader and hit its nuclear sites. Iran answered with missiles and shut the Strait of Hormuz. Then a ceasefire, a memorandum, 60 days to make a deal. That deadline died on Monday. No deal.
The world's oil artery is on life support, 110 ships a day before the war. This weekend, 13. Tankers targeted. A transit map half -agreed with Oman, and Trump's newest claim that the strait itself should be American.
One tanker, one base, one post. That is all it takes to reignite this. When it moves, you will see it move here. Keep watching. Record X.
