Description: In the 58th installment of The Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous follow up on last week’s Iran discussion and revisit their opposing oil-price predictions. They ask whether Iran’s new leader really changes anything, why Brent crude stayed above $100, and how Iran may still be able to disrupt oil markets without defeating the U.S. Navy directly. The conversation focuses on the Strait of Hormuz, asymmetric tactics, and why insurance risk and commercial hesitation can matter just as much as military force.
