As Donald Trump announces a US Navy blockade on one of the world's most vital fuel routes after failed talks with Iran, we look at what this means for global stability; including the plans of Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese this week. 

Plus, as Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors prepare for high-stakes meetings in Washington, we're joined by Beirut-based journalist Wael Taleb to find out what life is like on the ground after a series of devastating strikes and whether a ceasefire is actually within reach.
