Dire Straits - an Update on Iran

About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, focusing on geopolitical shifts and military implications.

Over the past 9 weeks, the conflict with Iran, Israel, and the United States has gone from intense aerial bombardment and missile strikes to a tense standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides blocking passage of the other’s ships and exchanging intercepts of the occasional oil or cargo vessel attempting to slip through the lines. While the ongoing economic havoc this has caused is clear, from oil price rises to shortages of fertilizer, what is less clear are the long-term shifts in global alliances that have centered around the petro-states of the Gulf region. Tonight we are joined by Louis from the Eviction Notice podcast to give us his analysis - based on time spent in the Middle East as well as in the armed services - on how these trends are likely to reshape the geopolitical and military postures of the major players in the region. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Louis @LouisWordGenius and cohost @doomernat22 Eviction Notice Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@eviction_notice14 https://rumble.com/v79mjmi-eviction-notice-episode-47-drama-alert.html with Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available…
