At least four Iran-linked ships, including two that visited Iranian ports, crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday following the start of a blockade by the US.
The US military says it “will not impede” ships using the strait to go to and from non-Iranian ports. Iran says the blockade is a violation of its sovereignty.
The blockade and escalating threats come after weeks of Iran being in control of one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
And over the weekend, delegates from the US and Iran failed to reach a resolution after 21 hours of peace talks.
The Trump administration has repeatedly insisted it’s winning the war, but so has the government in Tehran, which believes it is negotiating from a position of power.
To help us understand why – and what Iran wants – Tristan and Asma are joined by Parham Ghobadi from the BBC Persian Service.
