Foreseen Effects - The Closing of the Strait of Hormuz

In this episode of RANE’s new mini-series, Foreseen Effects, on The Decision Advantage, we take one verified event, one thing that happened out in the observable world, and we walk the chain. First order. Second order. Third order. And to keep us honest, we bring in an expert to think through the chain of events. Today that's Ryan Bohl, Middle East and North Africa analyst at RANE. Ryan has spent this entire crisis watching the Gulf. We'll tell the story of what happened, then bring him in with pointed questions about what happened next, and we'll keep doing that until we reach the end of the chain. The event is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The destination is that bread line. Join us.
