Ceasefire Extended, Ships Seized, and Suspicious Bets: What Just Happened in the Middle East
The US-Iran ceasefire was set to expire on Tuesday — but got extended at the last minute, with no end date. Meanwhile, ships were seized in the Strait of Hormuz, oil crossed a hundred dollars a barrel again, and suspicious bets placed minutes before presidential announcements are fueling serious insider-trading concerns. This Radar twelve min episode reconstructs what happened since Sunday and explains why a forty-eight-kilometer-wide strait is shaping the price of everything you buy.
