With one-fifth of global oil flowing through the strait, any agreement must prevent Iran from controlling it, charging tolls, or threatening shipping. Despite Iran’s recent military setbacks, Petraeus cautions it could still disrupt energy flows with mines, drones, or fast boats. He also condemns Iran’s backing of Hezbollah and Hamas, while Gulf nations scramble to diversify energy routes to reduce reliance on the strait. Trump and Rubio stress diplomacy, but Petraeus insists the U.S. must stay vigilant. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
