Will Trump's Blockade Work?

from Amanpour · host CNN Podcasts

Putting the blame on failed peace talks squarely on Iran, President Trump ordered the US Navy to impose a blockade on Iranian ports, threatening to sink any Iranian ships that come near them. This move is intended to deal a devastating blow to Iran's already frail economy, but the country's top negotiator shrugged it off and warned American consumers they'd soon be "nostalgic" for lower gas prices. Joining the show to discuss all this is Danny Citrinowicz, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies and former head of the Iran branch of Israeli military intelligence. Also on today's show: Former US House Republican Adam Kinzinger; Former US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman; author A. Mechele Dickerson Learn more about your ad choices.
