Iran confirms Ali Larijani, the country's top security official was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The 67-year old veteran politician helped Iran's wartime effort against the US and Israel. Also on the show: US President Donald Trump abandoned his effort to recruit partners for the war with Iran and scolded allies who openly rejected his appeals for assistance to end the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Guests include: Ryan Bohl, RANE, Senior Middle East and North Africa Analyst; Maurice Gravier, Emirates NBD, Wealth Management, Group CIO; Livia Gallarati, Energy Aspects, Head of Global Gas.
