Over a month into a war with Iran that has no clear end,
President Trump has enforced a blockade, which went into effect
on Monday at the Strait of Hormuz.

The New York Times reporters David E. Sanger, Rebecca F. Elliott
and Eric Schmitt discuss the strategy behind the blockade, the
dangers that it poses and whether or not it’s actually working.

Guest:

David E. Sanger, a White House and national
security correspondent for The New York Times.

Rebecca F. Elliott covers energy for The New
York Times.

Eric Schmitt, a national
security correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:

Mr. Trump is setting up a test of which side can endure more
economic pain with his blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

His oil blockade could provoke retaliation that inflicts more
damage on energy assets and the global economy.
