The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has brought global supply chains to their knees, but a sudden 11th-hour deal has secured a two-week ceasefire. As the Strait of Hormuz conditionally reopens, we look at the flow-on effects that have hit us at the local servo and the checkout.

Plus, with the US President making some of his most alarming threats to date, including the warning that an 'entire civilisation' could be at risk, we ask if this is just internet bravado or a genuine threat of war crimes.

Amelia Lester joins us to unpack the ten-point peace plan, if the ceasefire will hold and why Trump is now staring down the barrel of impeachment.

As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran intensifies and President Trump’s bombing deadline looms, we are breaking down exactly how a war on the other side of the world is hitting you right here at home.

First, we sit down with international relations expert Dr Jessica Genauer to examine the 'complete demolition' threats, alleged war crimes, and whether a ceasefire is even on the table.

Then, we investigate the fuel crisis. With service stations running dry and the government slashing the fuel excise, we ask the NRMA’s Peter Khoury why prices aren't dropping faster.

Plus, as Aussies flock to public transport to save their hip pockets, Professor Graham Currie explains if our trains and buses can actually handle the surge in demand and whether free fares are a long-term solution or just a temporary fix.

🗞️ HEADLINES

• Ben Roberts-Smith will front a bail court today after spending his first night in jail charged with war crimes
• Nationals leader Matt Canavan will address the National Press Club today outlining his "hyper Australia," economic vision
• Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, the White House saying only he knows what he will do
• Kayne West's visa to perform in the UK has been revoked

The very last time Samantha Murphy’s family can verify she was alive was around 7am on the morning of February 4, 2024.

There’s an image from a CCTV camera that police released of the 51-year-old, in the activewear she would usually put on ahead of her run. But while that image might be the last time we were able to confirm that she was okay, it’s allegedly not the last time she was seen.

Tomorrow, the trial begins for the man accused of murdering Samantha Murphy. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
