Summary
Dean Mikkelsen, a Canadian living abroad and founder of the website Power & Corridor s, joins The Hub from Abu Dhabi to unpack the tentative U.S.-Iran agreement and what it could mean for the future of the Strait of Hormuz. While markets have welcomed signs of de-escalation, he argues the real story is how Arabian Gulf countries are rapidly building alternative pipelines, rail networks, ports, and trade corridors to reduce their dependence on a single energy chokepoint. Mikkelsen also explains why disruptions to LNG, fertilizer, and shipping insurance markets could have longer-lasting impacts on global trade and food prices than on oil itself.
