The Chris Hedges Report · Is the Ceasefire Dead? (w/ Alastair Crooke) | The Chris Hedges Report · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

Because, you know, just a ceasefire, but how long will that last?

I mean, and that's all that I can see that, you know, people, mediators and so on are talking about is a very, very elementary basic, you know, freezing of the situation as it is and kicking everything that is substantive, you know, months away down the line of negotiations.

you're absolutely right and it's i mean a catastrophic situation at the moment which is barely you know under the surface it's all under the surface because you don't see much about it in mainstream press about how close we are uh inventories are never been as low

The strategic reserve is sort of at sludge level, as I understand it.

So I think this is the point.

What is going to be the way out?

I think finally this thing will come to some sort of conclusion when Europe falls over the economic cliff.

And that's the point where things, you know, I've always found, unfortunately, it's not a great thing to say, but in politics, you know, pain is a great transformer.

And then suddenly people start changing their view and saying, well,

Oh, well, maybe we could live with Hormuz as it, you know, under Iranian.

I mean, we could find a relation.

I don't know.

But it seems to me that is the thing that can shift it.

But waiting for waiting for Iran to give up and Hormuz and to.

deliver to Trump the uranium.

I mean, they're just waiting for Godot.

It's not going to happen.

So I think that's going to be when the thing becomes crystallized, when we fall off, unfortunately, the economic cliff, which I think maybe even this month.

Yes, it seems so, because people keep forgetting it's the supply lines, it's the helium, it's the fertilizers, all of these things that have been suspended during this period in Hormuz.

But they are impacting the tech industry and they are impacting many parts of the life.
