Trump’s Hormuz Blockade Sparks Fears Of Global Economic Shock

Talk War zeroes in on the escalating Strait of Hormuz crisis, as Julia Hartley-Brewer leads a hard-hitting discussion on Donald Trump’s move to blockade Iranian oil exports, the failure of ceasefire talks, and the growing threat to global energy, food and supply chains. With contributions from Lord Robertson, Andrew Fox, Liam Halligan and Rear Admiral Chris Parry, the episode examines how the Iran blockade could send oil, gas, fertiliser and fuel prices soaring, leave Europe facing jet fuel shortages, deepen the cost of living crisis and expose Britain’s military and political weakness, with Keir Starmer accused of looking absent, ineffective and unprepared as the US takes the lead in the Middle East.
