The Long-Term Global Economic Damage From the War With Iran

About this episode

The episode discusses the economic fallout and geopolitical stakes of the US-Israel war with Iran, particularly its impact on global trade and energy prices.

On this episode of Trumponomics , host Stephanie Flanders examines how the US-Israel war with Iran has choked one of the world’s most vital shipping routes and tested the foundations of global trade. With traffic through the Strait of Hormuz severely constrained and hundreds of vessels backed up, the disruption is pushing up energy prices and raising fresh concerns about the reliability of supply chains. Bloomberg Global Trade Editor Brendan Murray and Africa and Middle East Correspondent Peter Martin join to unpack the economic fallout and geopolitical stakes.
