Show notes

A barely-existent ceasefire, and the paralysis of hundreds of ships. The state of the Iran - US Israel war remains muggy, even a day after the three agreed to a two-week ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. It comes after US President Trump threatened to wipe out 'an entire civilization' if the strait wasn't opened. And although things seemed to have reached a calming point, Iran once again closed the shipping passage after Israel reportedly fired strikes into Lebanon. Host Caryn Ceolin speak to Jack Cunningham, an expert in international relations at the University of Toronto to discuss how the US could initiate a substantive wrap-up of the conflict, how the conflict has only bolstered Iran's power, and how Trump's words have weakened global perception of the US.
