Budapest points the finger towards Kiev, after a stash of US-made explosives were found close to a key pipeline in Serbia, which transports Russian gas into Hungary. Donald Trump once again resets his ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Hormuz Strait - unleashing a profanity-laden threat that the country will be living in hell if it doesn't comply. But Tehran hits back saying the president's actions are already dragging his people in the same direction, and risk setting the entire Middle East on fire. An Iraqi militant group claims it carried out attacks on US airbases overnight, raising questions about who has strategic control in the country. It's a pattern that has been forming for a while, and we'll be tracing its origins later in the programme.
