Fog of War and Information Reliability

The war in the Middle East is usually discussed as a military conflict. In this interview, Firas Modad argues the real consequences are far wider.

We discuss how escalation could spread through energy markets, shipping lanes and commodity prices - and why the economic effects of war may hit far beyond the battlefield.

Firas also explains how political incentives, donor networks and foreign policy alignments shape decisions in Washington, and why the incentives behind modern wars often look very different from the public narrative.
