We speak with SBS Chief Foreign Correspondent Ben Lewis who examines the rapidly escalating Iran – Israel / US conflict and the growing global fallout. From maritime threats in the Strait of Hormuz to surging energy costs and mounting geopolitical tension, we explore the economic shockwaves of a prolonged blockade and the risks of further escalation across the Middle East. We also discuss whether Israeli and US actions signal strategic coordination between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, and whether the latest military moves are designed to pressure Iran or widen the conflict.
