Geoeconomics of Irregular Warfare: Iran and the Global Ripple Effects — Part II

Описание

In Part Two of Irregular Warfare Initiative’s special series examining the unfolding conflict with Iran, Hamlet Yousef (IWI Economic & Legal Warfare Advisor), Ioannis Koskinas (CEO, Hoplite Group), and Mark Kelton (Former Senior Executive Service Officer, CIA) discuss the geoeconomic dimensions of the conflict and the broader ripple effects shaping global markets and strategic competition. The panel examines how Iran is leveraging asymmetric tactics—including pressure on energy infrastructure, maritime shipping routes, and regional stability—to generate economic leverage against the United States and its partners. The conversation also explores how disruptions in oil markets, sanctions regimes, and global trade flows are influencing the behavior of regional actors while intersecting with broader strategic dynamics involving China and Russia. Together, the discussion highlights how modern conflicts increasingly unfold across economic systems, supply chains, and financial networks—not just the battlefield. The session is moderated by Jackie Giunta of the Irregular Warfare Initiative’s Engagements team.
