The Oil War Behind the Headlines

There is an oil war playing out behind the headlines, and the Strait of Hormuz is only part of it.

In this episode of The Watch Floor, I break down what is happening around one of the world's most important energy chokepoints, why disruption there matters far beyond the Middle East, and how another country thousands of miles away fits into the same conversation: Venezuela.

Venezuela sits on enormous oil reserves. That matters as Washington looks at energy security, sanctions, global supply, and how much leverage the United States actually has when oil markets are being shaped by geopolitical pressure.

Because this isn't simply about the price of a barrel of oil or what you're paying at the pump.

It's about who controls the supply, who controls the routes that move it, and who has leverage when those routes are threatened.

Iran. The Strait of Hormuz. Venezuela. U.S. energy policy. They may look like separate stories in the headlines. In this episode, I connect them and explain what I'm watching next.
