Oren Liebermann: ‘We’re Waiting to See If and When There Will Be Negotiations Once Again Between the U.S. and Iran’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LIEBERMANN: “Kim, we‘re waiting to see if and when there will be negotiations once again between the us and Iran. There was a brief window, a very brief window in this case where it seemed like the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world‘s most critical waterways, would be open to traffic. And just that little bit of good news after president Donald Trump announced it on Friday and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi seemed to hint at it in the hours and days after that sent the price of crude oil down 10% in a matter of hours. But that was very short lived. Trump said the blockade of Iranian ports would continue, and then Iran, a country that Trump has said has no navy, no air force and hardly any military, is still able to close the Strait of Hormuz. As you pointed out, Iran Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker on Saturday. Another ship, according to the U.K.‘s maritime agency, came under attack. India said two of their incidents, two of their vessels were involved in incidents in the Strait of Hormuz and that has once again effectively closed the strait."
