“A custody battle for the Strait of Hormuz”

April 13, 2026·43m

Nicolle Wallace covers Trump’s decision to escalate tensions with Iran by threatening a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, an announcement CENTCOM quickly had to clarify, saying that U.S. forces would only block ships going to and from Iranian ports. This comes after a weekend of failed peace talks with Tehran. Later, Eddie Glaude and Tom Nichols join Nicolle to discuss the Trump administration’s feud with Pope Leo.
