President Trump Threatens to Blockade the Strait of Hormuz; Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken on His Experience Negotiating with Iran

After President Trump announced that the US would blockade the Strait of Hormuz, Fareed asks retired Admiral James Stavridis, the former NATO supreme allied commander, what it would take to execute it. Next, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins the show for an exclusive conversation about his own experience negotiating with Iran. Then, since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Fareed speaks with Tarek Masoud, director of Harvard Kennedy School’s Middle East Initiative about how this has impacted the relationship between the United States and its allies in the Gulf. Finally, Karen Young, senior fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, joins the show to discuss the potential impact on global energy prices if President Trump moves to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
