Six months before going to war in Iran, the U.S. government cut staff that would have been central to the current situation.
Six months before the Trump administration started bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts.
As the war in Iran stretches into its third week, and the Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world’s oil supply usually flows — remains effectively closed, the U.S. government is without the resources it once had to handle such crises, former State Department employees tell NOTUS.
