Iran War debate: Will the blockade bring Tehran to its knees? | UpFront

US President Donald Trump has indefinitely extended a ceasefire with Iran, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Three ships have been attacked in the past week, and Tehran shows no sign of yielding. Trump has simultaneously issued shoot-to-kill orders against small Iranian boats, while Iran's chief negotiator's adviser declared the ceasefire extension "means nothing".

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with journalists Samira Mohyeddin and John Fredericks about who really holds the cards in this conflict and whether the US blockade will bring the Iranian regime to its knees, or entrench a deepening deadlock.
