On part one of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey and Roland Oliphant break down the overnight strikes, the high-stakes naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and whether the US is preparing for an imminent ground campaign.
Plus, Iran has released a US citizen who was detained in the country since 2024, Dena Karari, who was banned from leaving Iran after visiting her family in 2024, “is now safe and traveling back to the United States”.
Roland and Venetia discuss what this means for US-Iran negotiations.
