View descriptionShare
 

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen we begin with President Trump’s new, new plan to crush Iran’s economy. It's a sweeping escalation aimed at tightening pressure around the Strait of Hormuz. Steve breaks down whether Washington can sustain this strategy, how Iran may retaliate, and what this means for global shipping and energy markets.

Then to Australia. Canberra is condemning Israel’s decision to not prosecute those responsible for the 2024 Gaza airstrike that killed aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six colleagues at World Kitchen. We look at why this diplomatic rift matters and how it could reshape conversations around accountability in conflict zones.

We also dive into a stunning Pentagon leak: the U.S. Navy is weighing whether to rename a carrier originally slated to honour an African American WWII war hero and potentially switch it to Trump. Steve explores the political, cultural, and military implications.
