Iran are now 'calling the shots' over the Strait of Hormuz

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.'
