The incident marked a new escalation of tensions less than a month after Iran downed an American drone in the same waterway and Trump came close to retaliating with a military strike. Host Eric Westervelt (@Ericnpr) speaks with Here & Now security analyst Jim Walsh (@DrJimWalshMIT), with MIT's Security Studies Program.
