In this week’s Risk on the Radar podcast, Nick Maddalena and Robert Peters examine the latest developments in the Middle East and their implications for maritime security.

A ceasefire—on paper. A blockade—very much alive. They discuss how the proposed 60-day deal aims to cool tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, ease pressure on Iranian ports, and unlock frozen funds—but the final call sits with Donald Trump, as Israel signals it’s far from satisfied.

Out on the water, reality bites. The ceasefire holds in name only: Iran’s selective maritime pressure and the US blockade remain, and recent attacks look less like escalation and more like enforcement. Case in point—a VLCC struck in the Gulf of Oman after loading at Fujairah, likely payback for a sister ship’s Hormuz transit.
