Summary
President Trump is ramping up pressure on Iran as the regime releases American hostage Dina Karari after more than 18 months in detention. Buck breaks down what her release signals, the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iranian targets, and the growing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy chokepoints. From military strikes and oil market implications to the Trump administration's strategy of maximum pressure, Buck examines what these developments could mean for Iran, the Middle East, and global stability.
