In this episode, we break down the latest developments in the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, shipping risks, and the growing debate over whether the United States truly controls this critical waterway.
We examine Iran’s claims that it is winning, what Iranian military leaders are saying publicly, the possibility of asymmetric attacks against the United States, and the military and economic pressure being applied to the Iranian regime. We also look at what oil prices and shipping activity can tell us about what is actually happening in the Strait of Hormuz.
Later, we discuss US relations with Panama, renewed jungle warfare training, China’s influence around the Panama Canal, and what the United States is actually doing in the region before answering viewer questions.
Subscribe for straightforward analysis of the stories shaping US national security, foreign policy, and global conflict.
