INTERVIEW: Will things ever return to 'normal' in the Strait of Hormuz?

from Weekend One on One

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a virtual standstill with President Trump ordering US forces to 'shoot and kill' Iranian vessels laying mines in the Strait. The US military says it seized another tanker associated with smuggling Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. and Iran had declared the Strait open on Friday April 17 but Iran reimposed control on Saturday. Tehran said it was responding to a continued U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, calling it a violation of their ceasefire. So will we ever see a return to normal shipping and trade, once the strait reopens? In this episode of Weekend One on One, we hear from Alexis Ellender, senior lead analyst at maritime data firm Kpler
