This week on *The Global Risk Podcast*, we assess the growing risk of renewed military escalation between the United States and Iran, as attacks on commercial shipping intensify in the Strait of Hormuz and diplomatic negotiations remain stalled. We also examine further Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and energy infrastructure, and the implications for regional aviation and security.
In Ukraine, Russian strikes against energy infrastructure continue despite a claimed ceasefire, raising concerns over electricity and heating supplies ahead of winter. We also look at the possibility of direct conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, nationwide protests planned in France, and the growing threat of nihilistic violent extremism in Europe.
Plus, the latest intelligence from Panama, Guinea-Bissau, the Sahel, Mauritius, Pakistan and India.
