Trump administration is preparing to reinstate sanctions against iran and president trump and iranian leaders have spent the past few weeks exchanging threats on social media. cnn s international diplomatic editor nic robertson joining me right now. nic, no accident that iran has chosen the strait of hormuz to flex its military muscle. this is a major shipping area. what is the message being sent? really seems to be the message being sent that if iran so chooses, it can disrupt the world s oil fields. 20% of the world s oil passes through there. it s a major choke point effectively. and impacting one oil tanker, never mind shutting down the whole straits, would put a spike, a nasty spike into oil markets. perhaps trigger higher fuel costs for us. the reality is we don t know why iran has put these military ....

Hand, the tweets are just irrelevant to mueller and his team. it s just background noise and they re not paying attention to it. in terms of affecting the work they re doing. but it could influence direction or could even with cause more probative questions? it could provide leads and, in fact, even amount to evidence at some point. even when he tweets blatantly that sessions should fire mueller. that s the kind of tweet that could amount to evidence whether the word is must or should. it s important. in terms of the tweets as criticism, you know, that s what i mean when i say the mueller team is not paying attention to that. sure, they re looking for potential evidence there. and so we ll see how that goes. i don t if i had to predict, i wouldn t say the president will sit down with the mueller team. i m not sure the mueller team needs the president to sit down to make whatever case or cases they re trying to make. meaning they already know the ....
Exercises into play right now. the timing of course right before in position of sanctions on them, because they ve because president trump unilaterally pulled out of that international joint program with iran and iran s commitment to denuclearize. that really puts economic pressure on iran. so i think the indicators here are absolutely as you say they re flexing their muscles at a strategic choke point that could have huge impacts, huge economic impact, were they to push ahead with some nefarious activity. no indication that s going to happen. the iranians didn t talk about this military exercise publicly. often they do. so the moment, it s just a lot of questions around it, fredricka. all right, that s at the straight s of hormuz. u.s. and turkey, both of these countries have frozen the assets ....
