The Big Picture

In a geopolitical chess match, Iran leveraged a cleverly worded agreement to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz, embroiling the US in a quagmire of its own making. Washington's military response to Iran adhering to the letter of an agreement it signed underscores a broader unraveling of global order as superpowers rethink their alliances and strategies. With Iran, the US, and Israel all playing high-stakes games, the world watches to see if the old 'Pax Americana' can survive, or whether a new order is emerging, one corridor, one ship, at a time.
