Trump threatens ‘higher level attacks’ if Strait of Hormuz remains closed

As Trump announces that his ‘Project Freedom’ in Iran has been ‘put on hold’, Andrew Marr speaks to Former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Maritime expert Damien Chevalier about what this means for a possible peace deal. Describing 'Epic Fury' as 'legendary', the US President suggested the war could end only if Iran agrees to their terms. Trump has also threatened to bomb Iran at ‘much higher level’ if it refuses to agree to the reopening of the Strait. Chevalier agrees that we're still a 'long way from normality', pointing out that there are 20,000 sailors 'stranded' in the Gulf. Commenting on ongoing talks with Iran, Trump said: “We’ll see whether or not they can make a deal that is satisfactory to us".
