Episode notes
Why The Strait Of Hormuz Is Iran’s Biggest Leverage
- The Strait of Hormuz gives Iran outsized leverage over global oil markets despite U.S. naval strength.
- Mosheh Oinounou notes a single drone or small action can halt massive slow-moving tankers, removing millions of barrels daily and driving global price spikes.

- Mosheh warns uranium may be dispersed deep underground across a country three times the size of Texas, increasing operational complexity and casualty risk.
