🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys  from Sydney’s “No Kings Rally” with a front‑row view of political sentiment in Australia — before diving into a dramatic week of global developments reshaping markets, geopolitics, and Asia’s economic outlook. We begin with the Iran conflict, where reports suggest a 15‑point US peace proposal delivered via Pakistan. But with Tehran dismissing Washington as “negotiating with itself” and Israeli officials calling the plan “beautiful on paper,” prospects for de‑escalation remain slim. Meanwhile, President Trump insists Iran “wants a deal so badly,” adding yet another layer of uncertainty. The effects on countries across Asia are immediate and severe. The war has triggered the largest energy supply disruption in modern history, with the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck pushing governments across Asia into emergency mode. Nations from Japan to India are scrambling to secure fuel, while the Philippines has declared a national energy emergency as shortages ripple through households and industries. We also examine the LaGuardia Airport crash, raising fresh alarms about America’s overstretched air‑traffic‑control system, and President Trump’s latest headline‑grabber: signing US currency and receiving the inaugural “America First Award.”
