Venetia Rainey talks to Mark Cancian and Chris Park from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) about what’s running low, why and what impact it will have.  Plus, will Donald Trump strike a deal with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz instead of prioritising a nuclear agreement?  That’s what Tehran is reportedly proposing today, but as veteran US diplomat David Satterfield explains, that comes with its own problems. With Iran playing the long-game in an asymmetric war, the former ambassador says Trump does not have many good options available.  CONTRIBUTORS: Venetia Rainey, co-host @venetiarainey David Satterfield, former US diplomat and director of Baker Institute for Public Policy Mark Cancian, senior fellow CSIS @MarkCancian Chris Park, research associate CSIS @chrhspark CONTENT REFERENCED: Last Rounds?
