"Both events address the same causal chain: tensions in the Persian Gulf leading to global oil supply disruptions. Event 15 quantifies the disruption (10% supply loss), while the New Event provides the US political narrative ('economic terrorism') explaining the source of these disruptions and the priority to maintain trade."
