Iran's vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the US's blockade is lifted.

Iranian gunboats reportedly fired at ships trying to pass through yesterday - which US President Donald Trump's called a total violation of the ceasefire agreement.

It comes as Iran's reportedly rejected a fresh round of peace talks set for tomorrow - labelling the US's demands as 'excessive'.

Former US Ambassador in the Middle East David Satterfield shares his thoughts with Ryan Bridge.
