I joined Saudi outlet Al Arabiya on Wednesday to analyze the “limbo” in the Trump camp’s war on Iran, with renewed clashes in and near the Strait of Hormuz and stalled talks to end the conflict.

I detail how the Trumpists are trying to avoid that choice by forcing open the Strait and how Iran is blocking that with its attacks on shipping, triggering US retaliatory strikes.
