Recording Date 7-13-2026. In this episode, Doomberg challenges many of the mainstream narratives surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that markets are focusing on the wrong risks while underestimating the vulnerability of critical oil and gas infrastructure across the Middle East. Together we explore Iran's strategic objectives, China's growing flexibility in energy supply chains, the effectiveness of sanctions, military supply constraints, and why geopolitical escalation remains the dominant variable for oil prices.
Doomberg explains why supply chains are becoming less efficient, why sanctions often strengthen the countries they target, and why Europe continues relying on Russian energy despite aggressive political rhetoric. We also discuss the abundance of natural gas and natural gas liquids, the long-term evolution of global hydrocarbons, why oil faces increasing competition from cheaper fuels, and how investors should think about commodities, resilience, manufacturing, and future energy transitions amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.
