In this episode, Sibylline Media Editor Marco Giannangeli is joined by Lead Americas Analyst Lewis Galvin and Professor Alessio Patalano of King’s College London to examine global tensions stemming from the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. They explore the strategic and legal realities of disrupting shipping through the Strait, including what it would take to enforce a blockade and how such a move would be interpreted under international law. The discussion also assesses Washington’s political calculus, the risks of escalation, and the potential consequences for global trade and energy markets.
