Oil at $100, Hormuz Blockaded, and the World Scrambles for Answers

About this episode
Host Marc Ellery breaks down the escalating Iran conflict that forced G7 finance ministers into emergency talks about a historic release of strategic petroleum reserves—potentially 300-400 million barrels, triple the amount released after Russia invaded Ukraine. The episode covers the Strait of Hormuz closure that handles 20% of global crude oil, gas prices hitting $5.20 in California, and the military strikes between U.S./Israeli forces and Iran that triggered this energy crisis, as reported by the International Energy Agency and multiple diplomatic sources.Loved this episode?
