President Donald Trump says NATO and other allies have rejected his calls to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. He complained on Tuesday that he has been unable to rally support behind the war of choice that he insists he’s conducting for the good of the world even if it doesn’t appreciate his effort. Trump’s indignant response to allies’ rejection to get involved in the war further underscored that the Iran war, now in its third week and causing reverberations across the global economy, is one that the international community is looking for the U.S. leader to sort out himself. And it's a dynamic the president insists he’s OK with.
Got half an hour? You could spend it on Nate Hagen's "Wide boundary news" in which he unpicks the consequences of a closed #Straightofhormuz
As always, Nate approaches the topic with a systemic or holistic lens.

Fertiliser makes an obvious appearance. So does sulfur, but I'm not so sure about this, see #2.
Less obvious: the storage capacity for oil is brimming. When storage capacity is full, Iraq's oil producers for example need to either get rid of their surplus by dumping it into the environment – or shut down production. The latter is problematic for the old water-pressure based tech used in Iraq in particular because it means to potentially lose the whole oil deposit.
One surprising angle: religion. All 3 war parties have reason to, and indeed do, frame the war as a prerequisite to their respective Messiah's return.
In the US, complains were filed about military bosses telling their troupes that Trumler and the war are bringing about Armageddon or something.

In this installment, Nate addresses the U.S. and Israeli military offensive against Iran and traces the reverberating effects that extend far beyond the conflict itself, starting with what the closure of the Strait of Hormuz means for a civilization that routes a massive share of its physical economy through a single maritime corridor.
Since we’re apparently all experts on the #straightofhormuz now, did you know that the narrow bit of land that sticks out into it from the south, the part making it so narrow and rocky, is the Musandam Governate which is an exclave of Oman? And there’s another two-level UAE/Oman/UAE enclave to the south where the borders between the two countries get confusing.
