## Resource

If Joseph Varner is right, the most important battlefield in the current confrontation with Iran may not be in the air or at sea — but in oil storage tanks. On this week’s episode of Hannaford, the former defence policy adviser and senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute laid out a stark timeline. Iran, he argues, may soon face a logistical crisis that could prove more decisive than any missile strike.
