David Satterfield: Former US Ambassador in the Middle East on Iran vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Iran's vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the US's blockade is lifted.

Iranian gunboats reportedly fired at ships trying to pass through yesterday - which US President Donald Trump's called a total violation of the ceasefire agreement.

It comes as Iran's reportedly rejected a fresh round of peace talks set for tomorrow - labelling the US's demands as 'excessive'.

Former US Ambassador in the Middle East David Satterfield shares his thoughts with Ryan Bridge.
