File a complaint

This article can be challenged under the Editors' Code of Practice, Clause 1 (Accuracy).

Amend the headline to avoid abstracting the human or political consequences on the Iranian side to an infrastructure term alone. A faithful amended example: "Trump threatens Iran with oil hub strikes despite US military war warning."
Add a named-source attribution and a verification caveat to the passage reporting that "President Masoud Pezeshkian is calling for a return to the Memorandum of Understanding peace deal", making clear whether the claim has been independently confirmed and whether other parties have responded.

Trump threatens Iran oil hub despite US military war warning

For the first time in over a month, fighting has erupted in the Strait of Hormuz after US forces struck Iranian sea mine-equipped rocket launchers on Larak Island. Iran retaliated by targeting US bases in Jordan, prompting Donald Trump to vow to hit Iran “hard”. On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Venetia Rainey and Roland Oliphant unpack the details of the violence and why Trump has posted an AI video of an attack on Kharg Island. They also discuss why President Masoud Pezeshkian is calling for a return to the Memorandum of Understanding peace deal amid growing pressure on Iran’s economy from the US blockade. Plus, a leaked report shows top military commanders have warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the war is unsustainable, as US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll abruptly resigns amid growing chaos in the Pentagon.
