In this episode, Samuel McVicar is joined by Lead Asia-Pacific Analyst Aedan Mordecai to examine how the ongoing US–Israeli bombing campaign in Iran could trigger a major energy shock across Asia. With around 60% of Asia’s crude oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the region is highly exposed to disruptions in global energy markets. They explore how countries across Asia are preparing for potential supply shocks, why China’s large reserves offer some insulation, and how smaller economies such as Bangladesh and Pakistan could face rationing, inflation, and economic strain if the conflict escalates. The conversation also looks at recent US policy decisions, shifting sanctions dynamics, and the broader ripple effects on supply chains, food security, and global markets.
