À propos de cet audio

This episode traces the Strait of Hormuz from its origins as an ancient spice trade route through Portuguese colonial control, British imperial influence, and Cold War tensions. The focus shifts to the dramatic 1980s Tanker War during the Iran-Iraq conflict, featuring Operation Earnest Will when the U.S. re-flagged Kuwaiti tankers. The episode concludes with an in-depth examination of current 2024-2025 tensions, including the Iran-Israel shadow conflict, GPS spoofing incidents, drone surveillance, vessel seizures, and the daily naval cat-and-mouse games between IRGC speedboats and international naval forces.
