<p>The eighth episode of Gas-Pump Expansionism explores a provocative possibility: that the emerging Iran deal is not really about uranium at all, but about oil, shipping, and money. In just two minutes, we examine why the real bargain may already have been struck through the quiet reopening of Hormuz and the staged release of frozen Iranian assets, leaving nuclear negotiations as little more than political theatre while economic normalization gradually takes hold beneath the headlines. </p><a href="https://medium.com/the-geopolitical-economist/gas-pump-expansionism-the-iran-deal-will-be-measured-in-gold-not-uranium-62366b6098b2">Gas-Pump Expansionism on Medium.com</a>

The episode outlines why U.S. political incentives favor rapid stabilization of global supply expectations, how regional actors position themselves ahead of negotiations, and why the trajectory of gasoline prices remains one of the most powerful constraints shaping near-term foreign policy decisions. </p><a href="https://unfuzzyjones.medium.com/gas-pump-expansionism-how-the-iran-war-will-end-and-what-comes-next-2f91c0e6dca0">Gas-Pump Expansionism on Medium.com</a>
