Sam Faddis Warns Iran’s Ultimate Leverage Is Global Energy Chaos
"The center of gravity of the whole conflict is oil and natural gas. And it's not just the Strait of Hormuz." Retired CIA officer Sam Faddis explains that Iran’s primary leverage lies in its ability to cripple global energy markets by targeting production facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Dubai. He characterizes this as a "suicide vest" mentality, causing permanent regional destruction to ensure other nations cannot profit if Iran is backed against the wall.
