Why Iran is winning the proxy war against the US | David Woo

Iran seems to be on a winning streak lately. Its oil exports are surging. Its proxies, after unleashing a massive strike against Israel (Hamas), are paralyzing the global maritime traffic (Houthis). Its kamikaze drones (Shahed) are giving the Russians an edge in the Ukraine war. And it is making Biden dance to its tune in the Middle East. As of January 1, Iran is officially a member of the BRICS, a club for the most powerful developing countries in the world. And it is only months away from joining an even more exclusive club of countries with nuclear bombs. Has Iran’s hour come? What are its goals? Is it playing from a position of strength or weakness? Why it is holding the oil market and the world economy hostage? How is it planning to exploit the 2024 US elections to its advantage? How will Biden and Netanyahu respond to Khamenei’s brinksmanship? What does Iran mean for oil price? I talk to Potkin Azarmehr, an Iranian journalist and producer, to get the answers. David Woo, a former top-ranked Wall Street global macro strategist, tells it as it is. You may not agree with everything he says but he will make you reassess everything you thought you knew.
