Amanpour is CNN International's flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour

Rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have led to U.S. forces destroying Iranian boats after attacks on naval and commercial ships, with diplomacy stalled as the conflict enters its third month. Meanwhile, civil rights leaders criticize a recent Supreme Court decision weakening the Voting Rights Act. Energy experts warn Iran’s blockade is causing a historic global oil supply disruption, with broader impacts still unfolding.

Global Tensions: US-Europe Relations Amid Middle East Wars

There's a chain reaction happening across the world: The longer the Iran war drags on, the more the US drains its global supply of critical weapons. And the longer oil prices remain high, the more Russia reaps the rewards, leaving Europe increasingly exposed to Putin's aggressive instincts. Petr Pavel is president of the Czech Republic, former chief-of-staff of the Czech armed services, and served as chair of NATO's military committee. Christiane spoke to President Pavel at a conference in Prague. 

Also on today's show: Edward Luce, US National Editor, Financial Times; Dr. Elizabeth Rosenthal, Senior Contributing Editor, KFF Health News

Czech President Petr Pavel

A diplomatic stand-off continues between the US and Iran after President Donald Trump called off his negotiating team's trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranian delegation. The President has said Iran "can call" if they want but said the war could end soon. In turn, Iran has floated an initial deal that would require Washington to permanently end the war in exchange for the reopening of Hormuz. Sanam Vakil, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House joins Bianna Golodryga to break down who is really holding the cards as diplomacy reaches a stalemate between Tehran and Washington. She joins the show from London. 

Also on today's show: author Rachel Goldberg-Polin; law professor/author Khiara Bridges

Is the Iran crisis distracting the world from Ukraine's fight for survival?

From Iran to Lebanon, to Israel and the occupied West Bank, the Middle East is truly in flames. In Lebanon, Israel continues to pound Hezbollah in the south, despite a so-called ceasefire and ongoing talks with the Lebanese government. Meantime, Israeli settlers are ramping up their violence against Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank, often with the security forces looking on, and even participating. Inside Israel, many Israelis support all this war, especially since October 7th. But not all, one key voice of resistance belongs to 86-year-old Colette Avital. She is a former Israeli diplomat, Knesset member and Holocaust survivor. She joins the show from Tel Aviv. 

Also on today's show: CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir; author Rebecca Solnit; House Representatives Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Teresa Leger (D-NM)

NSC Warned This Would Happen

William Ruto is the declared winner of Kenya’s presidential election, after edging out opposition leader Raila Odinga by an extremely narrow margin. Odinga is rejecting the results and will challenge them in court, something he’s done in the past – this is his fifth time running. Chaos erupted at the election center and in Odinga strongholds, and four of the seven electoral officials disowned the results. For more on this, Sara Sidner speaks with CNN's Larry Madowo in Kisumu. 

Also on today's show: International Crisis Group's Africa Program Director Murithi Mutiga; International relations professor Oliver Stuenkel; Austrian Minister for Climate Action Leonore Gewessler.
