Summary
"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Holly Dagres, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, says Iran and its adversaries are each breaching the two-week ceasefire, as Tehran leverages the Strait of Hormuz as a key tool in negotiations. Leslie Palti-Guzman, Founder of Energy Vista & CSIS Senior Associate, says falling energy and gas prices signal market expectations of the Strait of Hormuz reopening. Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, says Israel will not participate in upcoming talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad and will do "whatever is necessary" to counter future threats from Iran.
