We speak with Middle East history professor Toby Jones about the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where overlapping blockades by Iran and the United States have disrupted shipping and the wider global economy since the start of the war in late February. Jones says this latest conflict is part of a decadeslong project by the United States to exert imperial control over the oil-rich region, but that it's now in danger of a strategic loss signaling a deeper imperial decline. "Through an unprovoked assault on Iran, Trump has accelerated, or at least clarified, the real limits of American imperial power," says Jones. "He's definitely put the United States in a much more vulnerable and weakened position globally as a result of this war."

As more people cut the cord and drop their cable TV subscriptions, public access channels are losing a vital source of revenue. For decades, cable television companies have paid franchise fees to local municipalities as compensation for use of the public right of way, through which the companies route cables and utilities. Those fees have funded local stations focused on public, educational, and governmental access programming. "As there's migration to digital entertainment and to streaming, there is no local investment — there's no local jobs, there's no local programming," says Michael Max Knobbe, executive director of BronxNet in New York. We also speak with Joe Barr, executive director of Access Sacramento in California, who says the station is "of the community, by the community, for the community." He adds that as the corporate media continues to consolidate, "it really could be a dire situation for getting a broad spectrum of viewpoints."

The White House says the U.S.-Iran war is “terminated” for the purposes of an approaching congressional war powers deadline, even as President Donald Trump huddles with military leaders over potential new strikes.

Oil briefly spiked past $126 a barrel, pushing U.S. inflation to its highest year-on-year rise since May 2023.

Trump signs an end to the 11-week partial government shutdown, restoring funding to most of Homeland Security. And in Australia hundreds clash with police demanding retribution for the murder of a five-year-old Indigenous girl.

Markets are transitioning from geopolitical risk and focusing more on earnings, says Kevin Green, pointing out the "oil higher, stocks higher" trend as a key indicator. Don't discredit headlines around the Strait of Hormuz, however, with KG pointing out reported attacks on oil tankers keeping energy disruption risks top of mind.

When it comes to Wednesday's big earnings slate that includes Tesla (TSLA), ServiceNow (NOW), and IBM Corp. (IBM), KG highlights another name investor may miss: CSX Corp. (CSX).

Stocks are moving higher to start Tuesday's trading session, and Kevin Green wants to see markets broaden to have more confidence the uptrend will sustain. However, any breakdown in talks between the U.S. and Iran will lead to a spike in crude oil prices and a downslide in equities. KG adds that investors saw a "pretty good" morning when it came to the latest economic data. All eyes are on the FOMC as well with incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's confirmation hearing underway.
