Another Take: Iran, the US and the standoff in the strait

Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. This originally aired on May 24, 2019. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. It seemed like a recipe for conflict: Take the Iran nuclear deal, add a dash of John Bolton and some US warships, and top it off with a mysterious sabotage of oil tankers near one of the most sensitive stretches of water in the world. We take you there to examine just how close the US and Iran have come to the edge of war. In this episode: Zein Basravi (@virtualzein) Al Jazeera Correspondent Kimberley Halkett (@KimberleyHalkett) Al Jazeera White House Correspondent Episode credits: This episode was updated by Amy Walters. The original production team was Alexandra Locke, Morgan Waters, Priyanka Tilve, Dina Kesbeh, Ney Alvarez, Amy Walters, Natalia, Aldana, Graelyn Grashear, Seth Samuel was the sound designer.
