					<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, May 5th, The Washington Post reported that twenty-nine House Democrats had sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio advocating that Washington changes its’s policy in relation to Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program. They were requesting that the Trump administration officially recognize the program’s existence. This move would reverse what has been [&#8230;]]]></description>

We focused mainly on “Project Freedom,” President Trump’s plan that he announced on 3 May 2026 to effectively open the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. The US set that [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Trump’s second term was supposed to be the reset: less chaos, fewer neocons, and a renewed focus on problems at home. Instead, we’re watching an Iran conflict spiral while the administration sells the public a fantasy of easy wins and controlled escalation. I’m joined again by Dave Smith from Part of the Problem to revisit [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth&#8217;s claim that the Iran war has cost the US $25 billion is laughable. The actual cost according to a new study is at least three times more than that. And that leaves out other costs such as opportunity costs. And what did the US get [&#8230;]]]></description>

We sit down with Larry Johnson to unpack Iran’s reported “new” framework and why it may be the same core message: lift the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, and Iran [&#8230;]]]></description>

No ships followed the US-claimed route out of the Hormuz Strait. It was a farce. But it did move markets as did its abandonment under the guise of yet another &#8220;deal&#8221; in the works.
