Episode Notes

The Middle East is on fire, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and the 2026 oil crisis is here. But what is actually happening on the ground?

Former CBS News producer and "fixer" Amjad Tadros joins The Weird Canadian from Jordan to explain the US-Israel war on Iran, the reality of missiles overhead, and why the global supply chain is breaking down.
