Hugh Hewitt: Fundamental Things Afoot in the Middle East

Hugh Hewitt: Fundamental Things Afoot in the Middle East

Author: Salem Podcast Network April 13, 2026 Duration: 1:00

The ceasefire in Iran will be a big win for President Trump if the Strait opens and stays openand we’ll know over the course of the two weeks whether or not that happens.

If it does: The world’s oil supply will surge a bit and the remnants of the Iranian regime will have a chance to inventory the destruction that has rained down on their forces for five weeks.

If the Strait doesn’t reopen—or the attacks on Israel or our Gulf allies don’t cease—another round of the third Gulf war will soon commence.

President Trump issued his ultimatum. His never-evolving critics denounced his language though it got through to whomever is running the bunkers in Iran.

The war is far from over, but long conflicts never resolve in a month, and this one is 47 years old.

Fundamental things are afoot in the Middle East, most of them very good indeed.

Freedom for the long-suffering Iranian people and stability in the Middle East has never been closer since 1979..
