Description

The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses US President Donald Trump’s announcement, 'Project Freedom,’ a military-led operation to escort international ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. “Presumably, if the Iranians succeed in attacking either a cargo ship or an American naval vessel, that means the bombing starts again,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Steve Price. “But, both Trump and the Iranians tend to bluff a good deal, so we’re going to be on tenterhooks to see what happens.”

The western nations should've nipped these swine in the bud back in the 1980s. I know, I know. Trump's already said these things. But we did let this thing run away with its self.
