Yorktown President Seth Cropsey and Senior Fellow Shay Khatiri appeared on Andrew Cuomo’s The Pulse of the People to discuss the conflict in Iran and the evolving dynamics of the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz.
Andrew Cuomo interviews experts Seth Cropsey and Shay Khatiri regarding the geopolitical crisis involving Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. The dialogue highlights a critical military oversight where the United States allegedly underestimated the efficacy of low-cost drone technology and naval mines, opting instead for expensive, high-tech systems that failed to prevent a maritime blockade. The guests argue that the Pentagon’s institutional arrogance led to a lack of preparation for these asymmetrical threats, which now allow Iran to demand tolls in international waters and threaten global trade.
