Tensions are rising again around the Strait of Hormuz
from Newell Normand
Tensions are rising again with the U.S., especially around the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. military seizure of an Iranian cargo ship has put already fragile ceasefire talks at risk, and Iran is now saying it may not attend the next round of negotiations. At the same time, President Pezeshkian says diplomacy is still important but remains deeply distrustful of Washington. The situation is being watched closely because any escalation could affect global oil prices and regional stability. Colonel Jeff McCausland, CBS military analyst, joins Newell to give updates.
