Iran peace proposal fails to impress Trump as Hormuz standoff enters ninth week | DW News

Описание: The Strait of Hormuz has effectively been closed for nine weeks, with no end in sight. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described the blockade as an "economic nuclear weapon" aimed at the world economy.

DW speaks with Middle East analyst Fawaz Gerges about what it would take to break the deadlock — and why, even if a deal is reached soon, ship brokers warn the backlog in the Strait of Hormuz may not clear until September. We also hear from René Wildangel, a journalist and Middle East scholar, on his assessment of the latest efforts to negotiate an end to the Iran conflict.
