Great discussion this morning on identifying & developing future leaders. Key takeaways: 1) ID potential, 2) build your culture of development, 3) find safe opportunities for them to lead, and 4) give them mentors that guide. @BermudaCaptive
Hopefully this is helpful for anyone headed to @LGAairport this morning…the security line looked long but took 19 minutes for TSA Precheck this morning. Regular security lines looked longer but moving. Hard working @TSA and @ICEgov doing a good job keeping things smooth.
BREAKING: China is pressuring Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
There is one problem. Iran did not close it.
Seven insurance companies in London did.
China buys 80% of Iran’s shipped oil. Beijing has a $400 billion, 25-year cooperation agreement with Tehran. China is Iran’s economic lifeline. If any country on earth has leverage over Iran, it is China. And China is now using that leverage to demand the Strait reopens.
But the Strait was not closed by a sovereign decision. It was closed by the withdrawal of reinsurance capacity from five to ten firms, mostly in London, backstopping twelve P&I clubs that cover 90% of global tonnage. Iran did not order those firms to withdraw. Iran cannot order them to reinstate. Neither can China.
Even if Tehran capitulates entirely tonight and the IRGC stands down, not a single reinsurer reinstates Gulf war risk coverage on a phone call from Beijing. Reinstatement requires rebuilt risk models, voyage-by-voyage re-underwriting, repriced treaty capacity, and a threat environment that actuaries can quantify. None of that exists while 440.9 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium remains unaccounted for and the IRGC is still launching drones at Oman.
China has leverage over Iran. China has zero leverage over Lloyd’s of London.
This is the part nobody is modelling. The country with the most to lose and the most leverage over the belligerent cannot fix the mechanism that actually closed the Strait. Because the mechanism is not geopolitical. It is actuarial. And actuaries do not take calls from the Politburo.

I am so grateful for @Peggynoonannyc and her perspective through the years. This is a great read and poses questions we need to ask ourselves continuously as Americans…no matter who is in office.
