On April 13, the US Navy blockaded Iran's ports. The UK refused to join. NATO refused to join. Seventy-two hours later, Iran folded and the strait began opening. Today, April 17, Macron and Starmer convened 30+ countries in Paris to announce a "strictly defensive" maritime

The US Navy blockade of Iranian ports on April 13 halted 90% of Iran's seaborne trade. Within 72 hours, Tehran proposed suspending nuclear activity. That's not diplomacy. That's financial strangulation doing what 40 years of sanctions could not. I advised the Prime Minister

Mark Carney vient de remporter trois élections partielles. Majorité libérale. En Terrebonne, les libéraux ont gagné par un seul point — 48 contre 47. Et personne au Canada anglais ne s'en préoccupe. Voici la réalité que personne ne veut entendre. Le Québec donne beaucoup,

Mark Carney just swept three byelections and now controls a majority Parliament with 174 seats. Conservatives lost 18 points of vote share in Scarborough. In Quebec, the Liberals won by a single point. And Pierre Poilievre says he's not going anywhere. Here's the question

The Iran ultimatum is a ticking clock that threatens to disrupt the fragile balance of power in the Gulf Crisis, and Corridor Intelligence is at the forefront of analyzing its implications on the defense and energy sector. According to Joseph Soares, a renowned expert in

In this episode of Corridor Intelligence, we delve into a burgeoning $1 trillion economy that's largely overlooked: the space economy, with a particular focus on the Moon. While NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the lunar surface, a new space race is unfolding.

What does the ceasefire in the Middle East actually change? Within hours, Israel launched strikes in Lebanon, Iran responded, and Houthi activity continued in the Red Sea. This raises a critical question: is this conflict de-escalating — or expanding? In this episode of

Le Québec empoche 13,9 milliards $ en péréquation, presque la moitié du Canada, tout en prônant la souveraineté. Joseph Soares expose ce paradoxe choquant : une province plus pauvre par habitant que l'Alabama, regorgeant de minéraux critiques et de lithium, mais refusant de les

Le Canada a besoin de 1 800 milliards de dollars. Mais la solution, ce n'est pas plus de gouvernement — c'est moins. Dans ce commentaire, Joseph Soares analyse la guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis, les tarifs de Trump, et ce que ça veut dire pour l'avenir économique du

Mark Carney just gave the most important speech of his political career at the largest Liberal convention in Canadian history. 4,500 delegates. Five floor-crossers from the opposition. And a party one seat away from majority government. I'm Joseph Soares — Managing Partner at

Braking: Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has fulfilled its promise to block oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz. They've deployed sea mines and attacked merchant ships, intensifying concerns in the Persian Gulf. The release of a navigation chart showing iran mines further

Iran promised "not one litre of oil" would pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Then they mined it. Then they released the map. 600+ ships stranded. 325 oil tankers. $128/barrel oil. Ceasefire failing. This is not a closure. It's a seizure. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #OilCrisis #Energy #Geopolitics

La dépendance avec un drapeau — le vrai visage de la souveraineté du Québec. 13,9 milliards $ en péréquation. 30 milliards $ en transferts fédéraux. Un déficit de 8,6 milliards $. Et le PQ mène dans les sondages pour un référendum. Le Québec est 55e sur 60 provinces et États en PIB par capita. Plus pauvre que l'Alabama. Assis sur 28 minéraux critiques et 36 millions de tonnes de lithium qu'il refuse de développer. Première juridiction au monde à interdire le pétrole et le gaz. Énergie Est tué. Plan Nord au ralenti. Ce n'est pas la souveraineté. C'est la dépendance avec un drapeau.

Quebec receives $13.9B in equalization — nearly half of all payments in Canada. Total federal transfers exceed $30 billion. And the Parti Québécois leads every poll heading into October 2026 on a sovereignty platform. The province that takes more federal money than every Western province combined wants to separate from the country that writes the cheque. GDP per capita: $60,100 USD. 55th out of 60 provinces and states. Poorer than Alabama, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Quebec sits on 28 critical minerals, 36M tonnes of lithium, and massive rare earth reserves the world is desperate for. But in 2022, Quebec banned all oil and gas exploration — the first jurisdiction on earth to do so. Energy East was killed. Plan Nord stalled. Sovereignty requires economic independence. You can't argue for separation while refusing to develop the resources that would make it possible. That's not sovereignty. That's dependency with a flag.

The ceasefire lasted hours. Then Israel struck Lebanon, Iran responded, and the Houthis stayed active in the Red Sea. Hormuz carries 20-25% of global oil. But it's only half the picture. The Red Sea is the other half — and multiple pressure points are now interacting simultaneously. This isn't about oil. It's fertilizer, helium, container traffic, insurance costs, and the supply chains holding the global economy together. 60% of shipping diverted to avoid the Red Sea. Costs doubled. China takes 80% of Iran's crude. Every spike funds Russia's war in Ukraine. Who benefits? Not free commerce. Not open sea lanes. What benefits is leverage — weaponized geography, energy dependence, and shipping risk.

The ceasefire lasted hours. Israel struck Lebanon. Iran responded. Houthis stayed active in the Red Sea. Hormuz is only half the picture. The Red Sea is the other half — and right now you're looking at multiple pressure points interacting simultaneously. This isn't just about oil. It's fertilizer, helium, container traffic, insurance costs, and supply chains most people never think about until they break. Layer in China's dependence on Iranian crude. Layer in Russia profiting from every spike to fund Ukraine. Layer in actors who can impose costs without full-scale war. The danger isn't escalation. It's sustained pressure and miscalculation across multiple corridors at once. Full analysis: youtu.be/t8isfkyfYp8 #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #StraitOfHormuz #RedSea #EnergyPolicy #SupplyChain

The Iran ceasefire is two weeks, not one — I was wrong. A sigh of relief across the globe. Then Israel said yes to the pause and no to the premise. Netanyahu denied it covers Lebanon. The UAE said a ceasefire isn’t enough after 520 missiles and 2,221 drones intercepted. 🧵Hours after the announcement, rockets and drones were again falling on the Emirates. I guess the Iranians didn’t get the memo. Full analysis: <josephsoares.com/intelligence>
