Trump Says Strikes On Iran To Continue | Horizons Middle East & Africa 2/3/2026
US President Donald Trump says attacks on Iran will continue as he calls on the nation’s leaders to capitulate. Iran now says it will not negotiate with the US. The conflict has also spread across the Middle East, with Iran sending missiles at targets in multiple countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar as well as Iraq. Oil spikes as the crisis effectively shuts the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent up as much as 13% at one point in the biggest jump in four years. Guests include: Freddy Khoueiry, RANE, Global Security Analyst – MENA; Deepak Mehra, Commercial Bank of Dubai, Chief Economist; Sara Vakhshouri, SVB Energy International, President & Founder.
