First—the United States may be preparing another round of strikes against Iran. But Tehran is warning that any new offensive could trigger a far broader conflict, with American forces and economic infrastructure across the Middle East in the regime’s crosshairs.

Later in the show—another commercial ship has been sunk in the Black Sea, and Romanian officials say Russia is responsible. The attack comes amid an increasingly aggressive campaign of provocations near NATO territory, raising the question of just how much pressure Moscow believes it can apply without triggering a confrontation.

- First up—Iran's regime faces a growing armed insurgency as opposition groups launch increasingly sophisticated attacks against government security forces. Militants are targeting police stations, military convoys, and senior commanders in southeastern Iran, opening another front of instability as Tehran struggles with war, economic turmoil, and domestic unrest.
