Trump Launches 'Operation Freedom'

from All Things with Kim Strassel Hosted by The Wall Street Journal

President Donald Trump announces “Project Freedom,” a new initiative to get ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran responds by launching missiles and drones at the United Arab Emirates and U.S. warships. What does this mean for the fragile ceasefire and talks with Iran? On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel speaks with Seth Jones, president of the Defense and Security Department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies about the new operation, the damage the blockade is doing to the Iranian economy and what steps the U.S. still needs to take to bring its Iran operation to a successful conclusion.
