    The Two-Week Truce: Is Trump’s War With Iran Really on Pause?

    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. 🗞️ HEADLINES Less than 24 hours into the US/Iran ceasefire Israel launched a massive attack on Lebanon Jackie O court documents show she complained about 2 other run ins with Sandilands to her bosses Vaccine fatigue and a new strain is putting Aussies at risk this flu season Vogue releases hilarious video of Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour in a lift together  📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
