The Collapse of the World's Strategic Straits - Part 2 || Peter Zeihan
Summary
Peter Zeihan predicts a shift in international law allowing nations to toll natural waterways, starting with Iran’s potential control of the Strait of Hormuz. This could trigger similar moves by rebels and states at the Bab el-Mandeb, Turkey at the Bosporus, and Scandinavia at the Danish Straits. Consequently, global energy and Russian exports face new bottlenecks, forcing a regional rewiring of commerce as distant nations struggle to source trapped resources.
