Iran are now 'calling the shots' over the Strait of Hormuz • FRANCE 24 English

US President Donald Trump says Iran has agreed to let 20 ships through the Strait of Hormuz - a sign, according to him, that talks with Tehran are moving forward. But he has also signalled to the US possibly taking over Kharg island, and a regional US military build-up has triggered concern of ground operations. But read the story the other way around, says FRANCE 2's Douglas Herbert, and you'll find Iran has 'a little more sovereignty' over the Strait and 'calling the shots over it.' #iran #oil #straitofhormuz 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
