Matthew Hoh: Power Grids Under Fire: Iran and U.S. Escalate as Gulf Erupts

This interview examines the escalating crisis in the Persian Gulf, focusing on the Strait of Hormuz blockade, drone attacks, and the severe environmental and economic risks to global shipping. It critiques the U.S. strategy of targeting Iranian infrastructure, highlighting the geological and structural impossibility of destroying deeply buried facilities like "Pickaxe Mountain." The discussion also explores the precarious position of GCC nations, who face inevitable Iranian retaliation on their energy and desalination plants despite U.S. pressure to fund the war. Additionally, it covers the escalatory dangers of renewed Saudi conflict in Yemen threatening Red Sea oil routes, and condemns corporate media bias in defending foreign military aggression against U.S. lawmakers in the West Bank.
