🚨 Stop the clock. Ceasefire returns. But the countdown continues.

Day 54 and the pattern is now impossible to ignore.

Another ceasefire, another pause, another reset of the clock. Trump backs off again as tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz, with fresh seizures threatening global energy flows. Diplomacy is back, but each round looks more like delay than resolution.

Tonight George Galloway asks the central question. If every escalation ends in retreat, who is really in control of this war?

Joining George:

Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi – University of Tehran. Direct insight from Iran on ceasefire 2.0, strategy and the balance of power.

Max Blumenthal – Journalist and editor of The Grayzone. Analysis of US policy, media narratives and the deeper forces shaping events.

Plus:
