This episode of This Is America looks at Donald Trump’s plan to get his hands on what he calls Iran’s “nuclear dust” – and the huge risks that come with it. Reporting from Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, we examine why Iran’s 60%-enriched uranium stockpile matters so much to Washington, and why Trump insists it must be removed “one way or another”. We break down the science behind enriched uranium and what “nuclear dust” really is, the military challenges of locating and seizing roughly 440kg of highly enriched material buried in bombed sites like Isfahan and Fordow, and the scale of any ground operation needed to dig it out and fly it to the US. Our guests explain why such a raid could take weeks, require thousands of troops under fire, and still fail to capture all the material – and why, despite Trump’s rhetoric, many experts argue that negotiated downblending under IAEA supervision is the only realistic path to reduce the threat.

At the petrol pumps in the United States, petrol prices have just crossed $4 a gallon.

In Europe, some factories are facing energy rationing, and the impact of the supply crunch is being felt across major emerging economies.

It all points back to one crisis – in just 50 days, the US-Israel war on Iran has wiped out $50bn worth of oil production.

Analysts say that is equal to almost the entire economy of nations such as Estonia and Latvia.

The International Energy Agency says it is the largest energy crisis in history. But while no country will be spared, the burden will not be shared equally.

More than 1.2 million Lebanese have been forced from their homes since the start of March. Since the ceasefire came into effect, some have decided to return; others are unable to because their villages are occupied, under fire, or destroyed by Israel’s army.

The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed as US and Iranian blockades choke traffic, with Central Command saying it ordered 33 vessels back to port in the first week after imposing restrictions on 13 April.

Amid a US naval build‑up of three carrier strike groups, the largest since 2003, Washington has seized a tanker and authorised force against mine‑laying boats, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has seized multiple commercial vessels; ceasefire talks have yet to reopen trade, pushing up global energy prices.

Al Jazeera's Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff explains.

In southern Lebanon, displaced families are sheltering in schools and universities after fleeing heavy bombardment, with many unable to return home as villages are destroyed or remain unsafe. The conflict has also disrupted education, leaving thousands of children without access to schooling.
Despite the extension of the ceasefire, violations and ongoing strikes continue to undermine confidence, while damaged infrastructure and lack of basic services make returns difficult.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials see the truce as a temporary measure, with limited expectations for a breakthrough, as political and military challenges—particularly regarding Hezbollah—continue to complicate any path toward a lasting agreement.
