Oil, Iran, and the Cost of Escalation

Oil, Iran, and the Cost of Escalation

What happens when a war starts breaking the systems it depends on?

In this debut episode of American Power, hosted by Nat Towsen, we break down the escalating conflict with Iran. As the Strait of Hormuz closes and the threat expands to the Red Sea, oil markets surge, global trade slows, and the cost of escalation becomes harder to contain.

Military strategist Chad Scott explains why the U.S. may be past the point of easy de-escalation, and what “boots on the ground” really means in a country the size of Western Europe. Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) walks through how oil, shipping, and fertilizer disruptions are already rippling through the global economy and why even reopening the Strait won’t fix what’s coming next.
