Edward Fishman on Iran’s Control of the Strait of Hormuz

Thought Leader: Edward Fishman
March 15, 2026

Edward Fishman at the Council on Foreign Relations says there is only one party that can determine whether to reopen the Strait or Hormuz and that is Iran. He also explains why a lot could go wrong if the U.S. were to attack the Kharg Island which would put Washington on a slippery slope to the use of ground forces in Iran.

Edward Fishman is one of the world’s foremost experts on economic statecraft, with deep experience shaping U.S. foreign policy. His New York Times–bestselling book Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare is widely regarded as definitive and essential to understand how sanctions, tariffs, and export controls are reshaping the world. A Columbia University scholar, he brings sharp, timely insights into how economic warfare is transforming geopolitics and the business landscape. His ability to translate complex global dynamics into compelling narratives makes him a standout keynote speaker for any audience. Contact us today to learn more.
