In this 20‑minute episode of The Global Signal, co-hosts Joshua Charles and Benjamin Njila Fields dissect the oscillation of the Strait of Hormuz and the geopolitical shockwaves reshaping global energy and diplomacy. We examine the repricing of energy assets, and the symbolism of the US-Iran MOU signed in Italy on June 17th, 2026 — the same stage where Germany faced the 1919 settlement. The episode closes by mapping the next generation of global chokepoints and the actors already positioning around them.
