Tangle

No deal in Iran negotiations.


Listen Later

On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Navy will impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz after peace negotiations with Iranian officials failed to produce a breakthrough. While Iran has largely restricted transit through the strait over the past month, it has allowed some ships to pass through by paying a toll; in other cases, vessels linked to friendly nations like China have been granted passage. President Trump suggested the U.S. blockade will shut down the waterway entirely, though U.S. Central Command later said the blockade would not apply to ships passing through the strait to or from non-Iranian ports.

Senior Editor Will Kaback’s answer to a question about Tangle being too left-leaning in our mailbag edition on Friday drove a lot of discussion in our comments. So did Editor-at-Large Kmele Foster’s answer to a question about the Artemis II mission.

However, if you’re on our free list, you missed out on Kmele’s answer — as well as a slew of answers to questions about AI, the Supreme Court, Trump’s management of the Covid pandemic, and more.
