The Chris Hedges Report · Why the Iran War Won’t End Soon (w/ Alastair Crooke) | TCHR · 9 Aug 2026 podcast

It was a deceit that was deliberately done because the purpose of it was simply to get hormones open as quickly as possible.

And so it was signed up without any real serious intent of taking it to to to any sort of conclusion.

So uh I mean there is no real sense that this is the building block towards an agreement that

uh uh that will be respected by Trump.

It was, in their view, a deceit, and therefore uh we are in a different phase.

I think that phase is to increase the pressure.

uh on uh Trump by first of all in the markets i i in in terms of uh the Red Sea is now closed.

Um the Houthis um again have uh uh been attacking uh Saudi um tankers that are trying to enter and go to

uh the uh Yambu port in the Red Sea to load oil and stopping that.

So there's very little traffic.

Um in its n it's it's open to other traffic but not to to Saudi tankers.

Um so the Saudis I think this is the first time that they've exported no oil.

at all during this period.

That's it.

And it's now down to zero.

Um overall the it's now down to zero and the UAE has not been exporting oil during this period.

uh uh I know.

Um and so the the the the main elements is that uh Iran sees it has leverage

because uh y you mentioned the, if you like, the effects on the oil markets, but actually what is so important is really the type of oil that is lacking, that is um crucial um to their thinking in the equation.
