UK Royal Navy intervenes in protection of UK merchant vessels from the Iranian IRGC Navy

Author: Academy Securities July 12, 2019 Duration: 37:32
As events continue to develop in the Straights of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman, tensions rise between Iran, the US, and other super powers active in these very valuable and necessary shipping lanes.  This week the UK Royal Navy had to place ships between a UK flagged merchant ship from BP and Iranian IRGC vessels. We immediately got on the phone to discuss this further with our Geopolitical & macro Strategy team members.  We had Lieutenant General Frank Kearney and Lieutenant General David Deptula were featured in this conversation.   I've also included sections from previous podcasts on the topic of Iran.  Those conversations feature Major General James "Spider" Marks and Brigadier General Tony Tata. There are also several written pieces we've published regarding this global concern.  They can be viewed by clicking here.
