The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has now entered its fourth week. The de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces is being felt worldwide, as shipments of oil, natural gas and fertilizer have been drastically curtailed. A fifth of the world's oil supply transits through the strait, and the price of oil is up by about 50% since the war began in late February.
On Saturday evening, President Trump threatened Iran on social media, saying he would "obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first," if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully reopened within 48 hours. He later extended his deadline by five days following Iranian threats to destroy essential infrastructure, including energy and water systems, across the Gulf. Iran has denied reports of direct or indirect talks with the U.S.
If Iran can keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and "hold Washington to ransom," it will have significant leverage, says Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "In a strategic analysis, Iran right now is in the dominant position."

 Getty ImagesRyan Lizza has responded to Olivia Nuzzi's allegations of blackmail in federal court, following the revelation of Nuzzi's undisclosed "personal relationship" with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which Lizza yesterday claimed was almost a year long.
He has denied Nuzzi's claims (filed in D.C. Superior Court on Sept 30.), in every aspect, providing new alleged details on the collapse of their relationship, and leveling his own accusations.
In mid-August, Lizza wrote in a filing to the court on Oct. 14, "I discovered that Ms. Nuzzi had been cheating on me with a married man [RFK Jr.] for almost a year. She admitted the affair and over the course of weeks of conversations she confided how she fell into what she described as a "toxic" "unhealthy" "stupid" "psychotic" "crazy" "indefensible" relationship with a 70-year-old "sex addict" who told her he wanted to "possess," "control," and "impregnate" her."
