Show Notes
The US and Israeli war with Iran has expanded across the Gulf. Iran has effectively shuttered the Strait of Hormuz, sending the prices of oil and liquefied natural gas way up. The economic realities of the conflict could pose a problem for President Donald Trump, who was elected in part because of his promise to make life more affordable for Americans. The FT’s Myles McCormick and Sam Fleming explain what consequences the war against Iran will have for the global economy.
