Iran is now signaling plans to target the United States indirectly via Venezuela. Tehran is using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage, while their commanders signal threats against desalination plants and energy infrastructure. President Donald Trump has responded by promising “total destruction” if Iran crosses the line again.
Here, Stephen Gardner walks through Operation Epic Fury, the massive U.S. and allied campaign degrading Iran’s missile, drone, and naval assets. He also discusses what new intelligence reveals about enriched uranium, Iran’s long‑range strike capability, and the true level of danger to U.S. bases in Europe and the eastern seaboard. You’ll see how Trump quietly positioned forces in the Gulf, Red Sea, and Mediterranean before striking, and how his State of the Union hints now look like a clear warning in hindsight.
Gardner also tackles what everyone feels at home: gas prices and inflation. Kevin O’Leary says the real danger isn’t a short‑term price spike. It’s 90 days of oil stuck around 90–100 dollars a barrel. That’s when inflation locks in and families get crushed at the pump. Right now we’re about three weeks into this Iran‑driven surge. Markets are betting this gets resolved closer to 30 days than six months. If Trump and U.S. allies can break Iran’s terror chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, some economists believe energy prices could actually fall as the “terror tax” comes off global oil.
