As the conflict with Iran enters its third week, the situation remains both impactful and uncertain.

While significant damage has been done to Iran’s leadership and military, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has created real economic pressure around the world. 

In this episode, we take a closer look at what’s actually happening — without the noise.

We cover:

•  Why the Strait of Hormuz matters to the global economy 
•  Whether comparisons to the 1970s oil crisis hold up 
•  The divide within the Republican Party on how to move forward 
•  The risks of both escalation and early withdrawal 
•  What a balanced path forward might look like 

The situation is still developing, and the long-term outcome is far from clear.

This is an attempt to step back, understand the key factors, and look at the decisions ahead with a more measured view.
