About this episode
Retired Colonel Wayne Sanders discusses the implications of the Iran War and the potential outcomes of ongoing negotiations.
As a fragile ceasefire hangs in the balance and US–Iran tensions enter a critical new phase, the world and markets are watching to see what comes next. In this episode of Votes and Verdicts, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior defense analyst and retired Army Colonel Wayne Sanders joins us to discuss the war’s next steps. We examine key issues that will be the subject of negotiations during the ceasefire, including the Strait of Hormuz and the unresolved nuclear issue. We also discuss geopolitical takeaways for China, Russia and NATO, and how companies like Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and L3Harris can benefit from potential US military funding.
