With Iran declaring the Strait of Hormuz open to commercial ships for the remainder of the ceasefire – and with the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports still in place – uncertainty persists about what comes next. To delve into the conflict’s dynamics and future outlook, GLG clients recently joined a roundtable with retired Rear Admiral Mike Studeman, former Commander in the Office of Naval Intelligence of the U.S. Navy. Admiral Studeman discussed the tactics, technology, and escalation risks shaping the standoff – and highlighted nuances at play on the road to resolution.   “There are military implications that people are so focused on in the near term, that they don’t get to the long-term direction of this,” he said. “What does this mean for how the Middle East has transformed?” The roundtable dug into that and more, as Admiral Studeman explored the situation's impacts throughout the region and addressed client questions live. As the conflict evolves, GLG experts are helping clients navigate complex challenges with confidence.
