13:22Now PlayingBloomberg News White House Correspondent Jeff Mason and The Associated Press' International Correspondent Philip Crowther join David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend following Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps releasing a statement that the Strait of Hormuz was shifted back to how it operated before April 17, putting the passage under tighter military oversight after what it described as US interference with shipping.
