And I'm John Finer, and we're the hosts of The Long Game, a weekly national security podcast.

This week, we debate whether the U.S.

should draw down its true presence in Europe, and we break down the latest developments in the Iran war.

The episode's out now.

Welcome to Profiteer Markets.

Scott is off today, but we have a big episode for you nonetheless.

We will be talking in this episode about oil, specifically the oil markets, which have now endured more than two months of disruption from the Iran war.

Given all of this news, we wanted to take a step back

and help make sense of oil's role in the world and what this extended disruption means for our global economy, also for global energy and where everything is going next.

So we decided to bring in someone who has spent decades studying all of these topics, the intersection of energy, geopolitics, global markets, and we spoke with him

earlier this week while I was in Florence.

He is essentially the man who wrote the Bible on the history of oil, at least that is what a lot of people have said.

He is regarded as one of the world's leading experts on oil.

His Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Prize, is considered the definitive work on how energy shapes global power.

So without further ado, here is our conversation with Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of S&P Global and author of the new map, Energy, Climate,

and the clash of nations.

I would love to start with just a brief history from you on Iran and Iran's place in the world of oil.

And then we'll get into what's happened over the past few months.
