U.S. and Iran truce tested over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to reignite conflict
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz and the implications for regional stability.
The tenuous truce between the U.S. and Iran was tested Monday, as American ships clearing a lane in the Strait of Hormuz came under fire and sank Iranian boats. Iran also fired drones and missiles at a key oil terminal in the United Arab Emirates, spooking markets and raising concerns that war could resume. Nick Schifrin reports.
