I am listening to the BBC's URL, "https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/p0nkm7gm". It is about the Iran's situation after the US attacks. At 05:33 the speaker says a phrase "hurdled over a stove". Is phrase within the quotation marks true? When I look up the meaning of the words, I see below:
hurdle: a race in which people or horses jump over hurdles [1]
stove: a piece of equipment that burns fuel or uses electricity in order to heat a place. [2]
Is sentence, "He jumped off the stove" similar with the "he hurdled over a stove"? Could you please paraphrase the idiom? Thanks in advance.
