## Resource

In this week's episode, Tom Reed is joined by John Olett, Head of EMEA Freight, and Nader Itayim, Head of Dubai Editorial examine Washington's latest efforts to isolate Iran economically, the state of Iran's domestic economy and whether mounting hardship could influence Tehran's negotiating position. The discussion also tackles one of the most important questions in global oil markets today: how much crude is actually getting out of the Strait of Hormuz? With estimates varying widely and volatility remaining elevated, the answer has major implications for oil prices, trade flows and market sentiment.
