## Resource

The Iran war is entering a final phase as a powerful naval blockade reshapes the battlefield without firing a shot. With oil exports effectively cut off and over 90% of Iran’s trade routes disrupted, economic pressure is mounting at unprecedented speed. I am not alone warning that lost revenue, rising inflation, and limited oil storage capacity could force shutdowns within weeks, triggering a cascading financial crisis. In this episode, we break down how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is impacting global oil markets, accelerating economic instability inside Iran, and raising the stakes for the wider world. Is this the final move that changes everything—or a dangerous escalation with global consequences?
