Snippet:
THE renewed war between the United States and Iran is not a distant Middle Eastern quarrel. It will reach Southeast Asia through higher energy costs, more expensive shipping and greater strategic uncertainty. Regional governments would be well advised to treat it as a direct regional concern, not as someone else’s problem.
