Inside the Strait of Hormuz: Eyewitness to US-Israeli War Crimes in Iran | w/ Dimitri Lascaris

Journalist and lawyer Dimitri Lascaris just returned from Iran, where he traveled from Tehran to the Strait of Hormuz, witnessing firsthand the impact of the US-Israeli war.

From hospitals treating the wounded to the world’s most important oil chokepoint, Lascaris saw a side of this war that Western media is barely covering.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical waterways on earth, responsible for a massive share of global energy flows. But today, it has become a frontline in a rapidly escalating conflict. Trump says only with its opening would he consider a ceasefire.

In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Dimitri Lascaris about:

• What he witnessed inside Iran during wartime
• The situation on the ground at the Strait of Hormuz
• Civilian infrastructure and the human toll of the war
• Whether US and Israeli actions constitute war crimes
• How Iran is responding and what comes next

This is a rare, on-the-ground account from inside a country under attack.

Trump just called the US war a total success and its military performance “brilliant”
