Latest on Iran War; business hub in Phoenix; ASU professor named to National Academy of Sciences

More from this show

On “Arizona Horizon,” we discussed the latest developments on the Iran War after Iran’s military announced it would obstruct any ship that belongs to a country using their frozen assets from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. We welcomed Kurt Volker, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, to discuss the issue.

We also learned about Innovation 27, a center for the future of the City of Phoenix’s workforce and business economy set to begin in 2027. To hear more about this, Ann O’Brien, Councilwoman for the City of Phoenix, joined Ted Simons to discuss.

Finally, we heard about ASU professor Amber Wutich’s achievement of being elected into the National Academy of Sciences after dedicating her life to water insecurity research. Wutich joined us to discuss more about her appointment and how she will continue to improve policy and water conservation.
