from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Iran's vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the US's blockade is lifted. Iranian gunboats reportedly fired at ships trying to pass through yesterday - which US President Donald Trump's called a total violation of the ceasefire agreement. It comes as Iran's reportedly rejected a fresh round of peace talks set for tomorrow - labelling the US's demands as 'excessive'. Former US Ambassador in the Middle East David Satterfield shares his thoughts with Ryan Bridge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
