## Resource

In this episode, Nik welcomes back Tanvi Ratna, geoeconomic strategist and Fox News columnist, for a conversation on why the Iran conflict is far bigger than the Middle East. Tanvi lays out her thesis that Iran is the node in a global re-architecture of the world order, and walks through how the war is realigning Europe, reshaping NATO as European commanders take over operational theaters, and squeezing Russia out of Latin America, the Middle East, and its energy markets. She explains the Saudi-Israel question still blocking a regional deal, the corridor wars around Hormuz and the Balkans, and how US LNG and new energy infrastructure are redrawing the map of global energy dominance. The Bitcoin Layer and its guests do not provide investment advice.
