Iran has announced plans for a new EXCLUSION ZONE near the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with the United States escalate again. But can Iran actually enforce its new red line against the U.S. Navy?
In today's Max Afterburner, we break down the latest breaking news from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, recent CENTCOM operations, Iranian threats against American forces and the growing confrontation over one of the world's most strategically important waterways.
As a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, I'll break down two hero platforms that could be critical in a contested Persian Gulf: the F-35 Lightning II and E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. We look at stealth, sensor fusion, airborne early warning, command-and-control, carrier aviation and why the American carrier strike group operates as an integrated combat system.
Then in the Global Roundup, we're looking at the latest Zelensky-Witkoff-Kushner Ukraine peace talks, a viral confrontation from Italy, and fascinating footage involving police and drone technology.
