The Big Story: Is Singapore prepared for the ripple effects of a 15% US tariff?

The fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran appears to be hanging by a thread. After fresh fighting erupted and Iranian attacks targeted commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump declared the agreement "over" and warned that American bombings would "get much worse" if Tehran failed to back down.

The latest exchange has seen US strikes on Iranian military targets met with retaliatory attacks on American military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.

Are the two sides heading back to open conflict, or is this the latest round of brinkmanship before diplomacy resumes?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong and Dr James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, unpack what the latest escalation means for the Middle East, the global economy, and whether there's still any path back to peace.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar discuss the trendy practice of carrying around two phones — one for personal use and the other, for work purposes.

As people yearn for better work-life balance, people who practice this claim that having two phones is the healthier choice. But while we strive to achieve peace of mind, it looks like the additional weight could pose a risk to our physical health, specifically our hands. So the trio discusses whether they would use a separate phone for work, even if it could create a health risk in the long run.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Wong Wai Min, Deputy Director, Sector Planning Division, Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) to find out how families can take the first step towards planning with clarity and peace of mind.
