Episode #114: Double Double, Oil and Trouble (feat. Henry Rome)

Phil and Cooper play catch-up on this month's news, including the attacks on oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. These drone and missile operations took out nearly 5% of the world's daily oil supply and shook world markets. Although a rebel group in Yemen took responsibility for the attacks, the US and its allies have put the blame on Iran. What do we know so far? What would have been Iran's rationale if they are responsible? And what comes next? Henry Rome from the Eurasia Group joins the podcast to share his insight.
