Debate With Arnab: Can Trump Take On The World By Blockading Hormuz? | Iran War

THE NATION WANTS TO KNOW: Can Donald Trump actually force the world’s hand by blockading the most vital oil artery on the planet?

On this edition of The Debate, Arnab Goswami dives deep into the escalating 2026 Iran War. After a series of failed ultimatums and profanity-laced threats on social media, the Trump administration has officially declared a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. With global markets in a freefall and Asian economies—including India, China, and South Korea—facing a massive energy shortfall, the stakes have never been higher.

Tonight’s Key Talking Points:

The Blockade Execution: US Navy destroyers have entered the Strait for the first time since the conflict began. Is this a strategic masterstroke or a recipe for World War III?

Economic Meltdown: With 20% of the world's oil and LNG supply stranded, how will India and the G7 nations respond to skyrocketing fuel prices and "grocery supply emergencies"?

The Iran Defiance: Tehran has ignored Trump’s "48-hour deal" ultimatums and continues to threaten mining the Persian Gulf. Is the US prepared for a long-term maritime war?

Global Realignment: As India proposes deploying its own Navy to safeguard oil supplies, is the era of US-led maritime security coming to an end?

Join Arnab Goswami and a panel of top global experts as they debate whether Trump’s "Operation Epic Fury" is the ultimate leverage or a global catastrophe in the making.
