Exploring the geopolitical origins, the battle for the Strait of Hormuz, and the economic fallout of the world's most severe oil disruption.
About this episode
In this deep dive, we explore the unprecedented events of the 2026 Iran War, a conflict that rapidly escalated from targeted military strikes into a massive regional confrontation. We examine the strategic "dual blockade" of the Strait of Hormuz, which choked off roughly 20 percent of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, sending energy prices and worldwide inflation soaring to historic highs.
