About this listen

Iran’s missile attacks and its closing of the Strait of Hormuz have cost the oil-producing Gulf Arab states untold billions. In response, they are moving to arm themselves against a military threat that hasn’t been erased, and construct workarounds to the Hormuz choke point. Also: today’s stories, including a look at cracks in support from religious conservatives amid President Donald Trump’s broadsides against the pope; how rising gun ownership among Democrats is reshaping U.S. gun culture; and how rural weavers in Bangladesh are bridging a traditional craft with modern markets. Join the Monitor's Christa Case Bryant for today's news.
