Episode description
Jack Jacobs and Andrew Cuomo discuss a geopolitical stalemate between the United States and Iran following an American military intervention. The dialogue highlights how Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz has crippled global shipping and spiked energy prices, creating a crisis that the current administration failed to anticipate. Jacobs argues that while the Iranian theocracy remains insulated from public pressure, the U.S. government faces mounting domestic political urgency due to looming midterm elections and a lack of experienced diplomatic personnel.
